Install the full DocFila experience on your desktop in one click. Scan, edit, sign, and organize PDFs in a dedicated app window — works offline, syncs everywhere, and costs nothing. No App Store, no Microsoft Store, no admin password required.
Also available on App Store and Google Play.
Browser tabs get lost. Desktop apps don't. Installing DocFila gives you a dedicated window, system shortcuts, file associations, and full offline access.
DocFila runs in its own window with no browser chrome — just the app. Perfect for keyboard-driven workflows, multi-monitor setups, and Mission Control on macOS or Snap Layouts on Windows 11.
Set DocFila as the default app for PDFs, DOCX, and images. Double-click any document in Finder, File Explorer, or Files (Linux) and it opens instantly in DocFila — no upload, no drag-and-drop.
Edit documents on a flight, in a tunnel, or wherever Wi-Fi disappears. DocFila caches the app shell and your recent files, then syncs your changes the moment you reconnect.
Right-click any file on Mac, Windows, or Linux and share it directly to DocFila. Scanned receipts from your phone arrive instantly via the share target — no email round-trip required.
Power users get full keyboard control: ⌘K to search, ⌘N to scan, ⌘S to save to vault, ⌘E to export. Shortcuts work the same on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Sign in once and your documents, signatures, CVs, and templates sync across desktop, iPhone, and Android with AES-256 encryption. Your files never leave your account in plaintext.
