Common questions
Is there a free alternative to iLovePDF without sign-up?
Yes. Feemag Tools has no account, no paid tier and no daily or per-task caps. Merging, splitting, compressing, editing, signing, OCR and redaction are all free.
Which iLovePDF alternative does not upload my files?
Feemag Tools runs each PDF tool inside your browser with open-source libraries, so the document is never sent to a server.
What can iLovePDF do that Feemag Tools cannot?
Convert Word and PowerPoint files to PDF, keep exact layout when converting PDF to Office formats, and offer desktop and mobile apps and signature requests. Feemag Tools does not do those.
