How to Change File Icon on Mac

When working with files on a Mac, you may want to change the icon of a specific file or folder to make it easier to identify. This can be done in just a few steps.

First, locate the file or folder that you want to change the icon for. Right-click (or control-click) on the file and select 'Get Info' from the drop-down menu. In the 'Get Info' window, click on the 'Icon' tab and then click on the 'Change Icon...' button.

In the 'Choose an Icon' window, you can browse through your computer's icons or search for a specific icon using the search bar at the top of the window. Once you find the icon you want to use, select it and click 'Open.'

The icon will now be applied to the selected file or folder. You can also change the icon by dragging an icon from another location onto the file or folder.

In some cases, you may need to reset the icon for a file or folder that has been changed inadvertently. To do this, right-click (or control-click) on the file and select 'Get Info' from the drop-down menu. In the 'Get Info' window, click on the 'Icon' tab and then click on the 'Reset Icon' button.

By following these simple steps, you can easily change the icon of a file or folder on your Mac to make it easier to identify and organize your files.
