check  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.

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.

 

check  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.

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)

Files and folders can be sorted separately by name, date or size in ascending or descending order.
