Local Document Utility Workstation

A complete document workstation that never leaves your machine.

Folio is Falcotrix's complete PDF toolkit, engineered for scanned documents. At its core is Folio's MRC (Mixed Raster Content) compression engine — separating text, images, and background onto independent layers so each compresses at its optimal setting, cutting file sizes by up to 98% without softening text or muddying scanned pages. Quality presets range from archival-grade fidelity to maximum space savings, giving you full control over the size-versus-quality tradeoff, page by page or across an entire batch.*

*Beyond compression, Folio handles the everyday work of a digitization workflow: converting PDFs to images and back, merging files, removing pages, and running OCR to make scanned documents searchable. Built for flatbed and production scanner output — the standard for archives, libraries, and institutional digitization — Folio delivers consistent, predictable results on the documents professionals actually work with. Every tool runs entirely on your device: no cloud upload, no internet connection, no data collected. Folio is a one-time purchase — buy it once, own it for good.
