Folder structure builder

Turn a written tree into a ZIP of real folders and files

Indentation (2 spaces) and tree characters like ├── both work. End a name with / to make it a folder.

What you'll get

This is how your text was read. If something isn't a folder, add a trailing /.

   
 
 
 
    
 
 
   About this tool   
  
Turn a folder structure written as indented text or tree characters into a ZIP containing those real folders and files. Useful for standing up a new project skeleton in one go, or for turning a structure that only existed in a document into actual files.
  
 
  
  How to use it 
 
     
  1.  1 Write the structure you want on the left. Plain indentation works, and tree characters copied from elsewhere (├─, └─) are fine too. 
  2.  2 Check the preview on the right to confirm folders and files came out the way you meant. 
  3.  3 Download the ZIP and unpack it where you want it. 
    4.  
  
  
  
  Good to know 
 
     
  •  The files it creates are empty — it builds structure only 
  •  No paths that climb out to a parent folder (../) and no absolute paths

  Frequently asked questions 
 
 
  How does it tell folders from files?   
A name is a folder if it ends in a slash (/) or has children indented beneath it; otherwise it is a file. The preview shows that reading, so you can fix it on the spot if it is not what you meant.
 
  Can I paste a tree printed by another tool?   
Yes. The characters that the `tree` command and most documents use are read as indentation depth, so you can paste them as-is without cleaning them up.
 
  Is the structure sent to a server?   
No. Even building the ZIP happens inside the browser, so the structure of a project you have not published yet never leaves your machine.
