The free evaluation version lets you try all the features of FolderMill — hot folder–based document conversion and printing software.
Latest release – Version 5.6 (11 February, 2026)
- Added OAuth 2.0 authentication method for IMAP and SMTP. This works for the Send to Email Action, using Email as Source, and sending alert notifications via SMTP

Limitations of the Free Version
The free version of FolderMill is a full-featured version of the program, except that it adds a small watermark "Created by free version of FolderMill" to every converted page or image. And a cover page is inserted between every printed document.
In the program's General Settings, you can customize these options and choose to add watermarks to your printouts or output files instead of cover pages.
Trial Version
If it is essential for you to test the program with no limitations, you can request a trial version. The trial version of FolderMill works exactly like the full-featured commercial version, but it is time-limited by two weeks (14 days). Please get in touch with us if you want to get it.
