Questions
Is Folio really free?

Yes. Every tool is free — no account, no subscription, no paywall.

Is Folio a good alternative to iLovePDF, Smallpdf or Adobe Acrobat?

Yes. It does the same things — merge, split, compress, convert, OCR, sign — but runs 100% on your device, so your files are never uploaded to a server.

Do my PDFs leave my device?

No. Every operation runs locally. Folio has no network access, so a file can't be uploaded even by accident.

Can Folio convert PDF to Word, Excel or PowerPoint offline?

Yes — conversion happens on your device (best-effort), with nothing sent to the cloud.

Which devices does Folio support?

iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows and Android — including Huawei devices, since Folio needs no Google services.
