File Management Generate Tools for file and folder structures
File Management Generate Tools currently contains Folder Tree Generator. It takes a local folder or pasted relative paths and turns them into a deterministic directory tree. You can choose the branch style, limit the depth, filter paths, and copy or export the result.
Generate a folder tree from local paths
Open Folder Tree Generator when you need a directory tree from a local folder or a list of relative paths. The tool builds the tree from that input, then lets you decide how much of the nested structure to show.
- Choose ASCII or Unicode branch styles for the tree.
- Set a depth limit to leave deeper paths out of the result.
- Set a hidden-file policy and use include or exclude patterns to control which paths appear.
Folder tree generator output and export formats
Folder Tree Generator shows the directory tree as copyable text. You can also export it as TXT, CSV, or JSON.
Filtering changes the paths included in the tree. The depth limit leaves out paths below the selected depth, while the hidden-file policy controls hidden paths. Include and exclude patterns further narrow the paths that appear.
Typical jobs for generated directory trees
- Turn a local folder into a directory tree that you can copy as text.
- Paste relative paths, then use the depth limit or path filters to control the tree.
- Export the result as TXT, CSV, or JSON when you need a file.

Frequently asked questions
How do I generate a folder tree?
Open Folder Tree Generator and provide a local folder or pasted relative paths. Choose a branch style, set the available filtering options, then copy the tree or export it.
Can I generate a directory tree from pasted paths?
Yes. Folder Tree Generator accepts pasted relative paths and turns them into a deterministic directory tree. Include or exclude patterns control which paths appear.
What formats can I export a folder tree to?
You can export a generated folder tree as TXT, CSV, or JSON. The result is also available as copyable text.
Are files uploaded when I use File Management Generate Tools?
No. File Management Generate Tools generate files and folders locally in your browser with no upload. Folder Tree Generator also runs entirely in your browser.
