iLovePDF4 is a free collection of 84 PDF, image, and document tools that work directly in your browser. No sign-up, no watermarks, no cost — open a tool, fix your file, move on.
iLovePDF4 exists because everyday document tasks had gotten unnecessarily complicated. Merging a PDF, converting a Word file, resizing a photo, adding page numbers — each small job meant hunting for a tool that then demanded an account, stamped a watermark, or quietly uploaded your file to an unknown server.
So we built the alternative: 84 focused tools covering PDF, image, converter, and utility work — each doing one job well, working instantly in the browser, and being honest about how your file is handled. Most tools run entirely on your device. Where a tool genuinely needs server processing, the tool page says so, and files are deleted within an hour.
Alongside the tools, we publish plain-English guides — 25 and counting — written from actually testing the tools and researching what the top results get wrong. The answers live on the page instead of buried in forum threads.
No watermarks on any output. No per-day task quotas. No sign-up wall before download. Every tool, every feature, for everyone — supported by advertising, not by paywalls.
These principles decide what we build — and what we refuse to ship.
Browser-based processing wherever technically possible, so files like contracts, IDs, and medical letters never touch a server. Server-processed tools delete files within an hour — stated on the tool page.
No sign-up, no email capture, no features gated behind a plan. If you can open a browser, you can use every tool.
Tools load fast and finish fast because the work happens on your device, not in a queue on someone else's server.
Output matches the input — no stamped watermarks, no silent resolution drops, no upgrade-for-HD tricks.
Our guides are written from real testing, with sources cited. When a claim sounds too good — AI-powered, lossless — we explain what it actually means.
New tools, fixes, and guides ship continuously, driven by what people actually search for and ask us about.
Plenty of sites do one of these things. Here's what's different about how we do all of them.
PDF tools (merge, split, compress, sign, protect), image tools (resize, crop, convert), converter tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML), and utilities (QR codes, ZIP, passwords) — one site instead of ten.
Most tools read and process files with JavaScript on your device. Sensitive documents never touch a server, and the tools even keep working if your connection drops.
No accounts, no email confirmations, no download limits, no 'premium' bait. The time between opening a tool and finishing your file is measured in seconds.
Our 25+ blog guides are written by testing the tools and researching competitor pages — including the problems, settings, and gotchas that other guides skip over.
84 free PDF and image tools are one click away — and the guides explain the settings worth knowing before you need them.
