Why choose Windows 11 Folder Color Changer?
You might know Windows lets you change folder icons natively — but it’s slow, tedious, and impractical when you have hundreds of folders.
Many competing apps require subscriptions or don’t offer the depth of customisation and ease of use that Windows 11 Folder Color Changer provides.
We were the first to introduce:
- Hotkeys for near-instant launch
- Custom positioning & resizing of overlays
- Context menu integration on Windows 11’s new style
- Concurrent licensing for 5 PCs with one key
- Support for network folders
- The gradient folder icon style inspired by OneDrive
- Flexible cover image design tools
