PDFsy vs. iLovePDF

iLovePDF is an industry leader, with more than a decade on the market. PDFsy was created to be a simpler, more private alternative, with three differences worth knowing about.

🌍 In your language

PDFsy is available in 25 languages and automatically detects your browser's language — the tools, instructions and FAQs are all translated, not just the menus.

🔒 100% local, always

iLovePDF processes your files on its servers (the offline version is only in the paid desktop app). With PDFsy, every tool always runs inside your own browser — no PDF ever leaves your computer, on any plan.

∞ No limits, no account

iLovePDF's free plan limits processing and file size, with a paid Premium plan to remove those limits. PDFsy has no premium plan: every tool is free, with no usage limits and no need to create an account.

PDFsy frequently asked questions

Is PDFsy an alternative to iLovePDF?

Is PDFsy really free, without limits like iLovePDF's free plan?

Yes. Every PDFsy tool is free, with no premium plan and no usage limits — unlike iLovePDF's free plan, which restricts processing and file size until you subscribe to the paid plan.
