Why we built this

The category leaders are 15 years old and look like it. We rebuilt PDF tools from scratch in 2026.

01

Privacy-first by design

Your files are processed in your browser using WebAssembly. We never see them, store them, or train on them. The lock icon is a real promise, not marketing.

02

Instant, no upload wait

Other tools upload your PDF, queue it, process it, then download. We skip steps 1, 2, and 4. Most operations finish in under five seconds.

03

AI when it counts

Chat with PDFs, summarize, auto-redact PII, intelligently fill forms. Coming in Phase 4, built into the workflow, not bolted on as a paywall.

04

Pipelines, not silos

Chain compress, watermark, and merge in one flow. Other tools force you to do them one at a time. We let you build a pipeline.

Prep for AI

Get your text ready for ChatGPT and Claude.

Extract clean text from files, OCR images, count tokens, summarize, chunk for RAG, and redact sensitive data, all free and all in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded.

Honest, in-depth posts on getting more out of PDFs.

Frequently asked

Honest answers, in plain English.

Is LovedPDF really free?
Yes. Every browser-based tool is free with no daily cap during launch, no sign-up, and no ads. Pro and Teams plans add higher per-file size limits, AI features, and team workspaces, but the free tier covers most personal use forever.
Are my files actually safe?
Every browser tool runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Open DevTools → Network tab and watch, when you process a PDF, zero outgoing requests fire. We don't have a copy of your file because we never received it. For the few server-required tools (OCR, Word↔PDF) coming in Phase 3, files use TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest, EU servers only, and auto-delete within 60 minutes.
Which PDF tools does LovedPDF support?
Today: 61 fully-working browser tools across organize (merge, split, reorder, delete pages, n-up, blank page, compare, bookmarks), optimize (compress, flatten), convert (JPG↔PDF, PNG↔PDF, WebP→PDF, PDF→Text, Text→PDF, PDF→PNG), and edit (rotate, watermark, page numbers, sign, edit metadata, crop, resize, grayscale, invert, stamp, decrypt, Bates numbering, print). 0 more (PDF↔Word/Excel/PowerPoint, OCR, password protect, repair, PDF/A) ship in Phase 3.
How does LovedPDF compare to iLovePDF and SmallPDF?
Three differences. (1) We process every browser-capable tool locally, they upload everything. (2) Our UI was rebuilt from scratch in 2026 with modern design, theirs date from 2010. (3) Free is genuinely free with no ads. Read the full comparison at /vs/ilovepdf.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, all tools are mobile-responsive and touch-optimized. The signature tool works with finger drawing, file uploads use the native camera/file picker, and complex tools like compare-PDFs gracefully reflow to single-column on narrow screens.
Do I need to install anything?
No. LovedPDF is a website. Open it in any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave, Arc) on desktop, mobile, or tablet. There's no app to install, no extension to add, no account to create.
Is the source code open?
The browser code is fully visible in your DevTools, that's how the privacy guarantee is verifiable. We are working towards open-sourcing the entire repo for full transparency.
What if I find a bug or want a new tool?
Email [email protected]. Real founders read every email. Most useful PDF tools we don't have yet are in the backlog, tell us what you need and we'll likely build it.

Try it once. You'll never go back.

No sign-up. No upload. No catch. Pick a tool and feel the difference.
