Are all tools really free to use?

Yes. All core tools — PDF merge, split, compress, rotate, image conversion, video conversion, and developer utilities — are free without any account. Creating a free account unlocks higher daily usage limits. Pro subscribers get unlimited usage, no ads, higher file size limits, and priority access to AI-powered tools.

Do my files get uploaded to your servers?

For non-AI tools (PDF editing, image conversion, video conversion, developer tools), no — everything processes locally in your browser using WebAssembly and the File API. For AI-powered tools (background remover, PDF summarizer, image-to-text OCR), a minimal API call is made, but files are processed and discarded immediately and are never stored or logged.

What is the maximum file size I can process?

For PDF tools: guests can process up to 20 MB, free registered users up to 80 MB, and Pro users up to 250 MB per file. For video tools: up to 500 MB for free users and 2 GB for Pro. These limits exist because large files are processed entirely in your browser — your device's RAM is the practical performance limit.

Which browsers are supported?

All modern browsers are supported: Google Chrome 90+, Mozilla Firefox 90+, Microsoft Edge 90+, and Safari 15+. For video conversion using FFmpeg.wasm, Chrome and Edge provide the best performance due to superior WebAssembly multi-threading. Some features require a secure context (HTTPS), which this site always uses.

Can I use these tools on mobile (iOS / Android)?

Yes, the platform is fully responsive and works on iOS and Android. However, heavy operations like video conversion may be slower on mobile due to limited CPU and RAM. For video files over 100 MB, a desktop browser will give faster results.

How is iLoveDocsTools different from Adobe Acrobat or Smallpdf?

Adobe Acrobat costs $179.99/year and requires installation. Smallpdf and ILovePDF are cloud-based, meaning your files are uploaded to their servers. iLoveDocsTools is free for core use, requires no installation, and processes files entirely in your browser — no uploads for non-AI tools. We also cover a much wider range: video conversion, developer utilities, and AI-powered features beyond what PDF-only tools offer.

What PDF operations are supported?

We support the complete PDF editing lifecycle: merge, split, compress, rotate, watermark, protect (password), unlock, add page numbers, sign, extract pages, reorder pages, delete pages, and convert to/from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, and HTML. All powered by pdf-lib running locally in your browser.

What does the Pro plan include?

Pro unlocks unlimited daily usage on all tools, higher file size limits (up to 250 MB for PDFs, 2 GB for video), no advertisements, and priority access to AI tools including the PDF Summarizer, Background Remover, Image-to-Text OCR, and AI Resume Builder. Pro also includes the Daily Trend Intelligence digest — daily AI-generated content trend reports for your niche.

Are the developer tools (JSON formatter, JWT generator) safe for sensitive data?

Yes. All developer tools are 100% client-side with zero data transmission. When you paste a JWT token, API key, or config file into our formatter or encoder, that data never leaves your browser tab. There is no backend server receiving your input. You can verify this by watching the Network tab in browser DevTools — no requests are made.

How do I convert a PDF to Word?

Navigate to the PDF to Word tool (or search "pdf to word"), upload your PDF using the drag-and-drop zone or file picker, and click Convert. The conversion processes in your browser. Download the resulting .docx file. For image-heavy scanned PDFs, the Image-to-Text (OCR) tool may produce better editable output.

iLoveDocsTools — Free Online Document & PDF Tools

iLoveDocsTools is a free, browser-based platform offering 130+ tools for PDF editing, document conversion, image processing, video conversion, and developer utilities. Unlike traditional cloud services that upload your files to a remote server, every operation on iLoveDocsTools runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, the Web File API, and client-side JavaScript — meaning your documents never leave your device.

The platform was built to solve a common problem: professional document tools are either locked behind expensive subscriptions (Adobe Acrobat Pro costs $179.99/year), require software installation, or demand that you upload sensitive files to a third-party server. iLoveDocsTools removes all three barriers. Every core tool is free, nothing needs to be installed, and your files stay on your machine.

Whether you need to merge PDF files for a project report, compress a PDF to fit under an email attachment limit, convert Word to PDF for a job application, convert a video to a different format, or remove a background from an image for an e-commerce listing — you can do it here in seconds, free, without uploading anything.

PDF Tools: Complete PDF Editing in Your Browser

Our PDF toolkit covers the full document editing lifecycle. Merge PDF combines multiple PDFs into one — useful for bundling invoices, assembling a portfolio, or combining chapters. Split PDF extracts page ranges or separates a PDF into individual pages. Compress PDF reduces file size for email and portal uploads while preserving readability. Rotate PDF corrects sideways or upside-down scans. Watermark PDF adds a text or image overlay for brand protection. Protect PDF adds password encryption. Unlock PDF removes passwords from documents you own. Conversion tools — PDF to Word, PDF to JPG, PDF to Excel, PDF to PowerPoint — transform your document into editable formats instantly. All PDF operations use pdf-lib, a pure JavaScript library running locally in your browser.

Image & Video Tools: Conversion Without App Installs

Image tools let you convert between JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and SVG, compress photos without visible quality loss, and remove image backgrounds with AI. For video, we use FFmpeg.wasm — a full-featured video processing library compiled to WebAssembly — to convert MP4, AVI, MKV, MOV, WebM, and GIF files directly in the browser. This includes format-to-format conversion, video compression, audio extraction (MP3/WAV/AAC), playback speed adjustment, and AI subtitle generation. No video file is sent to a server; FFmpeg processes your video locally on your CPU.

Developer Tools: Client-Side Utilities, Zero Telemetry

For software developers and technical teams, we provide 30+ standalone browser utilities: JSON Formatter (beautify, minify, validate), XML Formatter & Validator, JWT Generator & Verifier, Base64 Encoder/Decoder, URL Encoder/Decoder, Regex Tester with live match highlighting, Password Generator, UUID Generator, Cron Expression Parser, Timestamp Converter, Color Converter (HEX ↔ RGB ↔ HSL), and more. Everything runs in the browser — nothing is transmitted to any backend. You can verify by watching your browser's Network tab while using any tool.

Why Browser-Based Processing Protects Your Privacy

Every document contains data. A PDF invoice reveals client names and payment amounts. A contract holds confidential business terms. A medical record contains protected health information. When you upload these documents to typical cloud-based PDF tools, you transmit that data to a third-party server where it may be stored, logged, or processed. iLoveDocsTools was designed so that your documents never leave your device for non-AI tools — there is nothing to log because nothing is sent. For AI-powered features, files are transmitted over TLS 1.3 encryption and are never retained after the operation completes.

iLoveDocsTools is used by students, freelancers, office professionals, legal teams, developers, and content creators worldwide. Most tools are free to use instantly — no sign-up needed for basic access. Create a free account to unlock higher usage limits, or upgrade to Pro for unlimited access, no ads, and higher file size limits. All tools are optimised for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on both desktop and mobile.
