iLovePDF

iLovePDF is a free web-based suite built entirely around one job: making PDFs easier to work with. Rather than bundling PDF handling into a broader office suite, the team focused on a single, fast toolset covering everything from merging and splitting files to compressing, converting, and signing them, all accessible straight from the browser with no software to install.

The core toolkit spans PDF organization (merge, split, remove or extract pages), optimization (compress and repair damaged files), and two-way conversion between PDF and Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and JPG. Security tools let users lock a PDF with a password, redact sensitive text, or compare two versions of a document side by side, while newer additions bring AI into the mix: an AI Summarizer for long documents, an AI-powered PDF translator that preserves formatting, and a PDF-to-Markdown converter aimed at notes and LLM workflows.

iLovePDF is free for everyday, occasional use, with a Premium plan adding a desktop app for offline batch processing, advanced OCR for scanned files, e-signature requests, and the ability to chain multiple tools into a custom workflow. The company also runs sister products, iLoveIMG for image editing and iLoveSign for e-signatures, plus an iLoveAPI for developers who want to build PDF processing directly into their own apps. For anyone who touches PDFs regularly but doesn't want a heavyweight desktop program, it's a straightforward, no-nonsense option.
