Create a New Folder

Folders are how you organize your assets in Kreator. Anything you generate, upload, or save gets stored inside a folder, so creating your first one is a great way to keep your work tidy from day one.

This task takes less than a minute.

What is a folder?

A folder is a simple container for your assets - generated images, videos, uploads, and exports. You can have as many folders as you like, and you can switch between them at any time. One folder is always set as your active folder, which is where new assets land by default.

Steps

1. Open the Folders menu

In the left sidebar, click Active Folder.

A list of Folders will be displayed, plus a New Folder button at the bottom of the menu.

2. Click "+ New Folder"

3. Enter Name for the new folder

A short form will open. Give your folder a clear name - for example:

• Spring Campaign 2026       
• Product Photoshoots       
• Social Posts — Instagram       

You can also add an optional description if you want a quick reminder of what the folder is for.

4. Save

Click the 'Create' button at the bottom of the form. Your new folder will appear in the list and will automatically become your active folder. This means new assets you create will be saved there by default.

You'll also see a confirmation message in the bottom-right corner of the screen letting you know the folder was created.

How do I know it worked?

You'll know the task is complete when:

• A confirmation message appears, e.g. "'Spring Campaign 2026' created and set as active folder".
• The new folder shows up in the list of folders

That's it. The onboarding checklist will pick this up automatically the next time you open the checklist.

Tips

• Rename anytime. Use the menu on a folder card to edit its name or description later.
• Switch active folders. Click the menu on any other folder card and choose Set as active to change where new assets are saved.
• View folders as cards. Pick 'Manage All >' option from the Folders menu to review all available folders as cards.
• Don't worry about getting it perfect. Folders are easy to create, rename, and delete. Feel free to start simple and reorganize as you go.

Troubleshooting

The form won't let me save.

A folder needs a name. If you see a red error message, double-check that the name field isn't empty.

I created a folder but the checklist still says it's incomplete.

Refresh the page and check the checklist again. If it still shows as incomplete after a minute, contact support and we'll take a look.

I want to delete the folder I just made.

Select 'Manage All >' option from the Folders menu to access the Folders details page. Click the ⋮        button to open the menu on the folder's card and choose Delete. Note that you can't delete the folder that's currently set as active. Set another folder as active first, then delete.

Next step

Once your folder is created, head back to your onboarding checklist and continue with the next task.
