Folders Factory overview

Note: Folders Factory is no longer under development and the developer provides no support for it.

With Folders Factory, you can easily change their colour, add pictures, include text or even make them look like "embossed" system folders.

Doing this will improve your performance and your system's appearance. You'll no longer have to read folder names as you can now easily identify the one you need.

The application is very user-friendly. All you have to do is: drag the image you want into the application's window, configure the way it looks, and then drag the folder you want to modify there too. Done.

Apparently abandonware. Unfortunate, because this is the exact app I used for years to make some good folders. Loved the embossing setup. Won't launch at all under Mojave (10.14.x), unfortunately. Link to developer website is dead as well.

Does not launch on High Sierra anymore. I switched to FolderMaker from Image Studio Productions.

How's the quality of the folder icons in lower sizes (like 128px or 64 px). Do they look sharp?

Nice app but it did not fix the problem of the monotone sidebar in Finder, which was the primary reason I wanted it. I also wrote before I bought but got no reply.... I would love to see them &/or Apple fix this problem so I can identify items quickly in sidebar as I could in Snow Leopard....
