The best iLovePDF alternative
iLovePDF popularised the all-in-one online PDF toolbox, but its free tier uploads your files to its servers and limits how much you can process before asking you to subscribe. AXS PDF offers the same familiar set of tools while keeping your documents on your own device.

Why people switch from iLovePDF
Files stay in your browser
iLovePDF sends your document to its servers to be processed. AXS PDF's core tools run locally, so a contract, invoice or scan is worked on where it already is — on your device — and never uploaded.
No task limits or upgrade prompts
iLovePDF's free plan caps how many tasks you can run before pushing you toward Premium. AXS PDF doesn't count your tasks, so you can merge and compress a whole batch without hitting a wall.
A cleaner, lighter experience
No stacked banner ads between you and your download, and no account needed to get the result. You open the tool you came for, do the job and leave with your file.
Everything you need, free
