Key Features

Build a HTML index file of a directory

Convert file and folder structures into a HTML file with a few clicks. Dir2HTML creates a directory index, which can be used for file distributions, file lists, sitemaps, technical documentations, etc. The index is fully customizable and can be used for various purposes.

Convert a directory to a single HTML file

Dir2HTML has multiple output modes. The default mode creates the index in a single HTML file making the index easy to upload and maintain.

Create sub-sections for sub-folders

Sub-sections means the program create a separate section for each (sub) folder with a heading and a file list. Each sub folder contains a heading and is linked from the top-level folder, so that the user can navigate through the folders.

Convert a directory to multiple HTML files

Dir2HTML also contains an alternate mode, which creates a separate index file for each (sub) folder. The index files are linked from the top-level folder for easy browsing. This mode is recommended if the index contains a large number of files and helps to reduce the file size.

Specify the files to index

Include all files or only specific files. The software allows to add multiple filters either based on the extension (e.g..html, .jpg) or file name (e.g. DSC)

Exclude files or folders

The directory might contain files which shouldn't be included in the file list. Dir2HTML allows to exclude folder or files based on the file name. System and hidden files (for example desktop.ini files) are excluded from the index by default.

Variable table layout (column order)

The table contains four columns: Size, File, Date and Custom. The layout is variable allowing you to change the column order depending on your project.

Variable width and alignment

The table with/alignment and also the with of each column can be customized in the project settings.

Add «Date» and «Size» column

The «Size» column contains the file size and the «Date» column contains the file date of each file. Size and date can be shown or hidden.

Add folder size and total size

The folder size and total file size inside a folder can be shown or hidden. This option adds a summary showing the folder size below each index section.

Add custom description column

A custom (description) column can be added to the index, allowing you to add a custom description to each file.

Uppercase or lowercase files and links

File names can be transformed to uppercase or lowercase creating a consistent look.

Convert spaces in links to %20

Spaces in links can be converted to %20 to avoid problems with older browsers.

Creates a HTML5 file using utf-8

Dir2HTML creates HTML5 compliant output files using utf-8 encoding.

Supports all languages and charsets

The program is written in unicode and support all languages and charsets.

Include or exclude sub-folders (recursion)

Enable recursion to include files inside sub folders to the index.

Index large structures with a single click

The program is very powerful and can handle large directory structures. It doesn't matter if a folder contains ten or thousands of files.

Use the command line parameter /runsilent to run the program in silent mode without user interface.

Create a HTML sitemap

Dir2HTML can also be used to create HTML sitemaps.

Custom text

Any text used in the index can be customized, e.g. the «main title» or the «folder-up» text. This feature allows you to create a file list for any language.

Add a home-link (e.g. to your homepage)

The home-link option adds a hyperlink to the root-level index section allowing your visitors to go e.g. back to your homepage.

Specify size unit

The file and folder size can be shown in kilobyte (KB), megabyte (MB) or gigabyte (GB). The option «auto» decides the size unit for each file or folder automatically based on the actual file/folder size.

Specify date format

The date can be shown in U.S. or European formats: MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM, DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM, MM/DD/YYYY, DD.MM.YYYY

Supports large file sizes

The program uses 64bit values and supports large file sizes.

Link files using a custom link-prefix for file distributions

A hyperlink can be added to each file. Using a custom link-prefix the file names can be linked to file in a different folder, location or web server.

Custom fonts and colors

From font-family to hover color — all fonts, sizes and colors can be changed according to your corporate or project design.

Style and layout based on CSS for easy customization

The style and layout is based on CSS and can be changed easily. The CSS code can be either added to the HTML header or saved to an external CSS file, which can be useful if you want to change the style manually for multi-page index files.
