Custom folder icon colors.

Download a folder icon as ICO, drop it here, select the yellow and replace it with your color. Download the PNG, pack it as ICO and apply it to the folder.

Right-click the folder, Properties, Customize, Change Icon, and browse to your ICO.

Yes: process the same folder icon with red, blue, green and purple, pack each as its own ICO, and you have a matching set.

Icon sites such as IconArchive, or extract the default from shell32.dll with an icon extractor.

Turn on preserve shades: the shadows and highlights keep their lightness and only the base color changes, so the folder keeps its depth.

macOS uses ICNS, not ICO. Edit the PNG here and convert it to ICNS with a Mac tool, or use Finder's tags instead.

Drop the ICO, pick the color to change (click it in the preview or type its hex) and the color to change it to. Tolerance widens the match to nearby shades, which anti-aliased icon edges need: 10 to 20 is a good start.

Turn on preserve shades. The tool then keeps each pixel's lightness and swaps only its hue and saturation, so a folder keeps its shading and a gradient icon its depth.

The largest frame of the ICO is edited and the result is a PNG, which every editor opens and modern browsers accept as a favicon. For a classic favicon.ico, pack the PNG with the PNG to ICO tool.

No. The ICO is read and its frames decoded by JavaScript on your device; the page makes no request with your file. Load it, go offline and it still works.

No. The "Custom folder icon colors" tool is free and opens without a sign-in, an account or an install.

Up to 100 MB per file, the limit the tool states under its drop area. A larger file is refused with a plain message instead of being decoded.

No, it takes one file at a time. If you drop or choose several, only the first is used; run the tool again for the next one.

The edit is written as a PNG because PNG stores every pixel exactly, with a full alpha channel, so the result can be edited again without a second round of loss.

No. The browser decodes the image and the tool writes a new file from its pixels, so camera EXIF, GPS position and text chunks in the original are not copied into the result. Keep the original file if you need them.

No. The result has the same width and height in pixels as the source.
