How to Use

  1. Select drive type: Choose from USB, External HDD, SSD, SD Card, Network/NAS, CD/DVD, or Cloud storage icons.
  2. Add a label: Pick a capacity (4GB-8TB), drive letter (C: to Z:), custom text, or no label at all.
  3. Customize appearance: Select colors for the drive body and text. Enable glossy effects and shadows.
  4. Choose sizes: Select which icon sizes to include in your ICO file (16px to 256px).
  5. Download: Get your icon as ICO (Windows) or PNG format and apply it to your drives.
For USB drives, place the ICO file on the drive root and create an autorun.inf file with the content shown below.

autorun.inf for USB Drives

To display your custom icon on a USB drive in Windows, create a file named autorun.inf in the root of your drive with the following content:

autorun.inf 
[AutoRun]
Icon=icon.ico
Label=My Drive

Quick Setup Steps

  1. Download your icon as icon.ico (or rename it)
  2. Copy icon.ico to the root of your USB drive
  3. Create a new text file named autorun.inf
  4. Paste the code above and save the file
  5. Eject and re-insert the drive to see your custom icon
Note: Change Label=My Drive to your preferred drive name.
Tip: Set both files as "Hidden" in file properties to keep your drive root clean.
Security: Some antivirus software may flag autorun.inf files. This is normal for removable drives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom icons help you quickly identify different drives when multiple are connected. Instead of generic Windows icons, you'll see labeled icons showing capacity or purpose (BACKUP, WORK, etc.), making file management much faster.

For removable drives (USB, SD): Copy the ICO file to the drive and create autorun.inf with [AutoRun] on line 1 and Icon=filename.ico on line 2. For fixed drives: Right-click the drive in Explorer, select Properties, then Customize tab, and click Change Icon.

For best Windows compatibility, include 16px (details view), 32px (small icons), 48px (medium), and 256px (large icons/thumbnails). The 64px and 128px sizes are optional but provide smoother scaling in some views.

Yes! Switch to the "Custom" label type and enter any text up to 12 characters. Common uses include drive names (BACKUP, WORK), owner names, or project codes. Shorter text (4-8 chars) displays best at small sizes.

Mac uses ICNS format instead of ICO. Download the PNG version here, then use our PNG to ICNS converter to create Mac-compatible icons. You can then apply the ICNS file to drives via Get Info.
