How do I change a folder icon on Mac?

Do these icons work on the latest version of macOS?

Yes. The icons are standard PNGs and use macOS's built-in icon system, so they work on every modern version of macOS — the method hasn't changed across recent releases.

Do the icons work in Dark Mode?

Yes. Every icon is designed to look great in both Light and Dark Mode, with transparent backgrounds so they sit cleanly on any desktop.

Are the free folder icons really free?

Yes — the icons in the free section are completely free to download and use. The premium pack of 50 is a separate paid set with additional designs.

What's included in the premium pack?

The premium pack includes 50 unique custom Mac folder icons in transparent PNG format. It's drag-and-drop ready with no extra software required, and you get an instant download after purchase.

Do I need any extra software or apps?

No. Custom folder icons are a native macOS feature — you don't need to install anything. Just copy and paste the icon.
