Built for everyday documents.

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

📄

Smart scanning

Google ML Kit auto-detects document edges, corrects perspective, and processes everything on-device.

✏️

Non-destructive editing

Crop, rotate, brighten, or switch to grayscale — every edit can be undone months later. Original scan is never touched.

📦

Multi-page PDFs

Scan multi-page contracts, reports, books. Reorder or delete pages. Export as a single PDF.

🔗

Document merging

Combine any two documents into one. Append pages from an existing PDF. Preserve all edits.

📥

PDF import

Bring in external PDFs and edit them like camera scans. Rasterized at 200 DPI for sharp text.

✍️

Electronic signatures

Draw or place a saved signature on any page. Handwritten mark embedded directly in the PDF.

💬

Text & highlight annotations

Add text notes or colour highlights to any page. Drag and resize to position exactly.

Magic Enhance

One tap auto-optimizes any page: grayscale + contrast boost. Works on ~90% of standard documents.

📁

Your own cloud library

Organise scans into folders, then back up to your Google Drive — never our servers. Files land as ordinary PDFs you can open on any device. Foldio only ever sees the files it created, never the rest of your Drive.

🔍

Multi-script OCR

Text recognition in 5 scripts: Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Devanagari — all on-device, all automatic.

Private by design.

No data collected. No exceptions.

What Foldio never does

  • Require an account
  • Upload files to our servers
  • Track your usage
  • Show you ads
  • Run analytics SDKs
  • Access the camera directly

Camera access is handled entirely by Google ML Kit — Foldio never declares the camera permission. Documents are stored in app-private internal storage and deleted when you uninstall. Optional backup goes only to your own Google Drive — never a Foldio server. Full privacy policy →

Own your library.

Your documents belong to you — not to a server you're renting.

A library that stays yours

Most scanner apps keep your documents on their servers and charge a monthly subscription to get them back. Foldio works the other way around: it backs up to a folder in your own Google Drive, as standard PDFs.

  • Files saved as ordinary PDFs — open them on any device, in any app
  • Your in-app folders mirror automatically into Drive
  • Foldio can only see files it created, never the rest of your Drive
  • Keep your documents with or without Foldio — nothing is locked in
