You can change the folder images on your Mac very quickly using board tools. Images in popular formats such as "JPEG" or "PNG" are not accepted, which is why you must first create your own icons.

With the free program "Img2icns" you can develop your own icons from your favorite pictures and then use them as folder pictures.
- Visit the program website and click "Download" in the top right corner.
- After you have started the program, simply drag the desired image onto the marked area with the inscription "Place graphics here".
- Now select the "icns" symbol and then select the desired storage location.

You only have to add the icons created with "Img2icns" to the desired folders. Have the created icon ready for editing in a separate window.
- Select the desired folder that you want to edit with an image.
- Right click on the folder and select the "Information" option. Alternatively, you can also open the info menu with the selected folder using the "CMD + I" key command.
- In the upper area of the window you will see the folder symbol and the folder name. In our example, this is the folder name "Chip practical tips". Now simply drag the icon created with "Img2icns" onto this small folder symbol, and your folder will have a new look.
