Question 1

Does PDF on Browser upload my file the way iLovePDF does?

Accepted Answer

No. iLovePDF is a hosted converter: the file goes to their servers for the job. PDF on Browser runs merge, split, compress, and convert in this browser tab. Document bytes are not sent to pdfonbrowser.com for processing.

Question 2

Do you have every iLovePDF tool and their desktop apps?

Accepted Answer

No. We ship 54 in-browser tools. We do not clone their brand, their full catalog, or their desktop and mobile apps. Use iLovePDF when you need something we do not have.

Question 3

Is this free, and is there a watermark?

Accepted Answer

Yes, tools are free to run and exports are not watermarked. After a download we may show a pay-what-you-want tip. Skip always works.

Question 4

Can I merge or compress while offline?

Accepted Answer

After the page and WebAssembly assets have loaded, yes. Disconnect the network and the file still never needs to leave the device. A tip payment and optional analytics need the network; the PDF does not.

Question 5

Which tools should I try first?

Accepted Answer

Start with Merge PDF, Compress PDF, or Split PDF — the same everyday jobs most people open iLovePDF for. Then browse the full set from the homepage.
