Buy for $9.99 — onceFrequently asked questions
Why are these PDF tools free?+
They run on your own device, so there are no server costs to pass on. We make them free so you can try what ilovepdfmac does — and buy the Mac app if you want more.
Are my files uploaded to a server?+
No. Your files are processed entirely inside your browser and never leave your device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.
Is it safe for confidential documents?+
Yes. Because nothing is uploaded, contracts, bank statements, IDs and medical records stay on your device. There's no server copy that could be stored, shared or leaked.
Do I need to create an account or install anything?+
No. Open the page and use the tool — no account, no email, no extension and no download.
How large can my files be?+
There's no fixed limit. Because the work happens on your device, the practical limit is your browser's memory — files of a few hundred MB usually work fine on a laptop. Very large files are faster in the Mac app.
Which browsers are supported?+
Any modern browser: Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Brave and Opera, on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android.
Will my file have a watermark?+
No. Your result is exactly what you made — no watermark, no added pages and no branding.
Do the tools work on my phone?+
Yes. They work in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux. Pages adapt to small screens, and you can pick files straight from Photos or Files.
Are there any daily limits?+
No. Use any tool as many times as you like, on as many files as you like. There are no task counters, waiting times or premium tiers.
Can I use the tools without internet?+
Mostly, yes. Once a tool's page has loaded, it keeps working if your connection drops. OCR downloads its language model the first time you use it, so it needs internet once.
How are these different from other online PDF tools?+
Most online PDF services upload your file to their servers and limit how much you can do for free. Our tools process everything locally in your browser, have no daily limits and add no watermark.
Can I process many files at once?+
Yes. Most tools accept several files in one go and let you download the results one by one or together as a ZIP.
What happens to my files after I close the page?+
They're gone. Files only ever exist in your browser's memory while the page is open — we never receive or store them.
Can I use these tools for work or commercial documents?+
Yes. The free tools are fine for personal and business use. For daily work, the ilovepdfmac app adds batch processing, a full editor and Office conversion.
Can I request a new tool?+
Yes, please do. Email shubhranshukhatua@gmail.com with the tool you need and we'll consider it for the next update.
What does the Mac app add?+
Word, Excel and PowerPoint to PDF, a full visual PDF editor, stronger compression that keeps text sharp, and everything working fully offline — for a one-time $9.99, no subscription.
