Stop wasting time creating folders manually. Generate organized folder structures in seconds with our free, privacy-first tool. Works on Windows, Mac & Linux.

Create Your Folder Structure

Build your directory tree, preview it live, and export as ZIP, .bat, .sh, or PowerShell.

  • Quick Create — Type or paste folder names, one per line. Use indentation for nesting.
  • Bulk Number — Generate numbered folders with a custom prefix, start number, and count.
  • CSV Upload — Import folder structures from spreadsheets or CSV files.

How to Create Multiple Folders at Once

Step 1: List Your Folders

Type your folder names one by one, paste a list from a spreadsheet (CSV), or automatically generate a numbered sequence (like 1 to 100).

Step 2: Check the Live Preview

See exactly how your directory structure will look before you download. The tool automatically fixes duplicates and removes characters your operating system cannot read.

Step 3: Download and Extract

Download a standard ZIP file containing your new folders. Advanced users can also copy scripts for Windows (.bat) or Mac/Linux (.sh) to run locally.

FAQ about Bulk Folder Creator

How much does the Bulk Folder Creator cost?

The utility is 100% free — no subscription, no account, no limits except the 10,000 folder maximum per export.

Are my folder names and data kept private?

All processing happens locally within your web browser. Your directory structures and text inputs are never uploaded, stored, or transmitted to an external server.

What are the technical limits for generating folders?

You can generate a maximum of 10,000 folders per export with a maximum nesting depth of 20 levels. The tool automatically skips OS-restricted characters (\ / : * ? " < > |).

Does Bulk Folder Creator work on Windows, Mac, and Linux?

The generator runs in any modern web browser regardless of operating system. Export formats are platform-specific: ZIP archives work universally, .bat scripts are designed for Windows, and .sh scripts are designed for macOS and Linux.

How do I generate nested subfolders?

In the Text Input tab, use spaces or tabs at the beginning of a line to create a child folder. In the CSV Import tab, each column from left to right represents a deeper nesting level.

Can I build folder structures using a spreadsheet?

Yes. You can export any Excel, Apple Numbers, or Google Sheets document as a CSV file and load it using the CSV Import tab to generate your structure automatically.

Why does the ZIP archive contain .gitkeep files?

Standard ZIP archives cannot store completely empty directories. The utility injects a microscopic .gitkeep file into each folder to preserve the structural hierarchy. You can safely delete these files after extraction.

Is the utility compatible with mobile devices?

The generator is fully compatible with iOS and Android browsers. However, downloading and extracting ZIP archives is generally easier on a desktop operating system like Windows or macOS.

Why Use a Bulk Folder Creator?

Stop right-clicking. Bulk Folder Creator generates up to 10,000 nested directories in seconds, directly in your browser — no installation, no account, no data uploaded to any server.

Built for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Export your complete directory tree as a ZIP archive, a Windows Batch script (.bat), a macOS/Linux Shell script (.sh), or a raw PowerShell command — whichever fits your workflow.

Used by developers scaffolding repositories, photographers standardizing client deliverables, and everyone building repeatable folder templates.
