Is there an iLovePDF alternative that does not upload my files?

Yes. These PDF tools run entirely inside your browser, so your files never leave your device. You can confirm it by loading the page, disconnecting from the internet, and merging a PDF anyway.

Can it do everything iLovePDF does?

No, and we would rather be honest about it. We merge, split, rotate, reorder, delete pages, add page numbers and more. We do not compress PDFs, convert to or from Office formats, or read scanned text. For those three jobs, iLovePDF is the better fit.

Is there a daily limit or an account?

Neither. There is no daily task cap and no sign-up. Everything happens on your own device, so there is no server quota to hit and nothing to log in to.

Does it cost anything?

No. There is no paid tier, no account and no watermark on the result.

What can I do with my PDFs here?

Merge several files into one, split a PDF into pieces, rotate pages , reorder pages , delete pages and add page numbers . All of it runs in the browser, and nothing is uploaded.

When to use iLovePDF instead

You need to compress a PDF

We do not shrink PDF file size. If a document is too heavy to email or upload and you need it smaller, that is one job iLovePDF does and we do not.

You need Office conversion or scanned-text reading

iLovePDF converts to and from Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and it can read the text out of scanned documents. We do neither, so for those two jobs they earn the upload.

You want mobile apps and an API

They ship native mobile apps and a developer API. We are a website you open in a browser, so if you need PDF work wired into an app or a phone, they have the reach.
