About Foliato: Offline PDF Tools
Your PDF never leaves your device. Foliato is a full set of PDF tools that runs locally: nothing is ever uploaded, no server, no account. VIEW & OPEN Open any PDF straight from Files, Mail or another app. Foliato registers as a PDF viewer with continuous scroll, pinch-to-zoom and selectable text. Pages fit the width of your screen, the way a reader should. DIGITAL SIGNATURES: READ AND CREATE Inspect the digital signatures a PDF carries: who signed it, with which certificate, whether the document changed after signing, whether the certificate chain holds together and, if you leave it on in Settings, whether the issuing authority has revoked the signer's certificate. For that check Foliato sends only the certificate's serial number, never the document. The app always tells you what it checked and what it did not: a certificate not being listed as revoked does not mean it can be trusted. You can also sign. Use your own digital certificate (.p12 or .pfx, for example from the Spanish FNMT) to sign a PDF with a real cryptographic signature in the standard PAdES format, with an optional visible stamp on one, several or all pages. When online, the signature includes a timestamp and Foliato first checks that the certificate has not been revoked; offline, it still signs. You can save your certificates encrypted on the device, but the password is never saved: it is asked for on every signature. It is an advanced electronic signature, not a qualified one. 10 PDF TOOLS • Merge: combine multiple PDFs into one • Split: extract exactly the pages you need • Reorder: drag pages into a new order • Rotate: fix sideways or upside-down pages • Compress: shrink the file size with an adjustable compression level • Sign: draw a signature once, place it on any page • Sign with certificate: sign with your digital certificate • Image to PDF: turn photos into a PDF, one page each • Watermark: add text, then drag, resize, rotate it and set its opacity • Page numbers: choose the format, position and starting number PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no analytics. Every merge, split and signature happens on your phone or tablet, and every tool works offline. Only two features look things up online, and only when you use them: signing with a certificate (timestamp and revocation check) and the revocation check when you open a signature, which you can turn off in Settings. Neither ever sends your document or your full certificate. FREE, NO CATCH All 10 tools, unlimited, from the first launch. No in-app purchases, no subscription, and Foliato never adds its own watermark to your files. Available in English, Spanish and French, with light and dark themes, on iPhone and iPad.

Version 1.3.0 · Updated October 6, 2026

The signature inspector now also checks, if you leave it on in Settings, whether the signer's certificate has been revoked, sending only its serial number and never the document.
