One folder per row

Typing folder after folder is slow and easy to get wrong. Paste a column of names (clients, students, projects, employees) and every row becomes a folder. Several columns create nested levels: “2026 | Sales | Client A” becomes 2026 › Sales › Client A.

The same subfolders in every folder

ZIP or straight onto your computer

In Chrome and Edge on a computer you can choose a folder and the new folders are created inside it directly. In every browser you can download a ZIP that contains the empty folders; unzip it where you need them.

Frequently asked questions

How many folders can I create?

Thousands. Very long lists simply take a few seconds more.

Does the ZIP really keep empty folders?

Yes. When you unzip it, every folder and subfolder is there, even without files.

Can I create nested folders?

Yes. Use several columns in Excel, or a slash in the subfolder list, such as Year/Month.

What happens to names with / or : ?

Characters that Windows, macOS or Linux do not allow are replaced with a space, and trailing dots are removed.

Will existing folders be overwritten?

No. When creating on your computer, folders that already exist are simply reused and no file is deleted.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The folders are created by your browser on your device.
