Free alternative
A free, private iLovePDF alternative
iLovePDF is a full PDF suite, but every task uploads your document to its servers and the free tier adds task limits and upsells. For the common jobs — merging, splitting and converting PDFs to images — cutbg does them entirely in your browser, so sensitive documents never leave your device.

Where iLovePDF is still better
iLovePDF is a far broader suite — OCR, high-fidelity PDF-to-Word/Excel, e-signatures and cloud storage. For document conversion quality and enterprise features, it is more capable than an in-browser toolset.
