Folder icons, yes you can use one of your own photos

A folder with your company logo, a photo of your dog, or your kitchen mid renovation is so much easier to spot than a name or random emoji. You crop it to a square yourself, and Qbit shrinks it down before storing it.

Steps

1. Open the New folder or Edit folder box.
2. Tap “Add a photo” in the Icon row.
3. Pick a picture from your device (you can also choose an emoji if you just can’t find a photo or image you like in your files).
4. Drag and pinch to frame the square you want, then confirm.
5. Click “Save”.

Tips

• A photo covers the background color, so the color control tucks itself away when you use an image or a photo as your folder icon.
• JPG or PNG, up to 12MB.

Good to know

Good to know: Qbit checks every photo before storing it. If one isn’t a fit, you’ll see “That photo can’t be used here. Try a different one.”
