Get important mail out of the inbox

Email was built for sending. Not for keeping.

Critical correspondence gets buried in threads, split from its attachments, and trapped behind search. Foldavo turns it into a durable record.

Stop hunting through old threads

Keep related emails together in a clear, consistent document.

Keep the context that matters

Dates, sender, recipients, subject, headers, and attachments stay with the record.

Make digital mail physical-world ready

Print it, file it in a binder, or archive it with the rest of the case.

Three simple steps

From inbox to orderly record.

Choose the mail, let Foldavo format it, then use the finished PDFs however your work requires.

Choose your email

Point Foldavo at one saved message or a folder of them.

Convert on your device

Foldavo processes the mail and attachments locally. Nothing is sent away.

File it your way

Print, archive, or combine them into one binder in the order you choose.

Clean records, less admin

Ready to use the moment they’re made.

Foldavo does the repetitive work without flattening away the details that make an email useful.

Get Foldavo

Private conversion, clear output, no cloud account required.

Convert a whole folder in one go

Folder conversion turns repetitive saving and printing into one straightforward job.

Keep attachments with the conversation

Attachments are embedded inside the same PDF and listed in the PDF’s attachment panel — never opened or executed — beside the email that explains what they are.

Preserve the record, not just the words

Sender, recipients, subject, dates, and essential headers remain visible and consistent.

Build a binder in the order you choose

Pick the emails, set the order, and Foldavo writes them into one PDF — evidence in date order, a matter file, a pack for a request. Every PDF is standard, so the tools you already have still work on it.

Get consistent, print-ready formatting

No wrestling with clipped print views, awkward thread layouts, or missing context.

Text in Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean scripts is rendered; Arabic is joined and reads right to left. Not included: Thai, Devanagari and other Indic scripts, and emoji, which appear as “?”. Email in Big5, GBK, Shift-JIS and EUC-KR encodings is decoded.

Private by design

Your confidential email never leaves your device.

Foldavo converts locally. Emails and attachments are never uploaded to the cloud, copied to a server, or passed through a third-party converter.

Useful wherever correspondence matters

Built for records you want to keep.

From one important exchange to years of archived mail, Foldavo makes email easier to review, share, print, and keep.

Legal and case correspondence

Build chronological bundles while keeping confidential material off third-party servers.

Financial and business records

File approvals, statements, invoices, and supporting conversations together.

Medical and personal documents

Turn sensitive exchanges into a private archive you can store or bring to an appointment.

Projects, disputes, and handovers

Arrange the full trail in a format that is easier to review than an overflowing inbox.

See it work on your own mail before you pay a penny.

No invented quotes here. When real customers say something about Foldavo, with their permission, it will appear on this page — not before.

Try it free on one real email

Download Foldavo, pick one saved email — attachments and all — and watch it become a finished PDF. The trial is the real thing, not a demo.

Then do the lot for £59

A licence unlocks folders, bulk runs and binders — years of correspondence in one sitting, or one combined PDF in the order you choose — and the tool stays on your machine for the next time you need it.
