A private iLovePDF alternative for everyday PDF work
iLovePDF made online PDF tools popular, and millions of people use it to merge, split and convert files. If you are comparing alternatives, it is usually because you want generous free use, you handle documents you would rather keep off third-party servers, or you want everything in one clean place without adverts.
PixnPDF offers the same everyday tools and runs most of them directly in your browser. That means your file is processed on your own device, the result is ready as soon as your computer finishes, and there is no upload step for browser tools.
Generous free batches
On the free plan you can merge up to 30 PDFs at once, turn up to 25 images into one PDF, compress or convert up to 7 files in a single job, and split or organize up to 6 files. Browser tools have no daily usage counter, so you can run as many jobs as you need.
Files up to 150 MB work in most browser tools, and Compress PDF accepts even larger files. Your device's memory is the practical limit, which is why very large batches can be split into smaller runs if an older phone struggles.
No adverts and no watermarks
PixnPDF shows no adverts and never stamps its own logo on your output, on the free plan as well as on Premium. If you want a watermark, you add your own text with Watermark PDF and decide exactly where it goes.
Workflows for repeated tasks
Many jobs are really two or three tools in a row. PixnPDF has ready-made workflows that carry your file from one step to the next: an Invoice and Expense pack that merges, compresses and makes text searchable, an ID and Photo pack for document photos, and a Legal Contract pack that watermarks, compresses and password-protects a contract. Ready-made workflows are free; Premium lets you save your own.
You review the result at every step, and nothing moves to the next tool until you click Continue.
Works in 14 languages and offline
The PixnPDF interface is available in 14 languages, including Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Turkish and Russian, with right-to-left layouts where needed. Once the site has loaded, browser tools keep working even without an internet connection, and you can install PixnPDF from your browser so it opens like a desktop app.
Premium for heavy users and teams
If you process documents every day, Premium raises batch sizes to 100 files for merging and image-to-PDF and 25 files for compression and conversions, gives up to 100 server jobs a day for Office conversions, and adds 1,000 AI credits each month. It costs $4.99 a month or $39 a year and can be cancelled online at any time, with a refund of the latest payment within 7 days.

Common questions
Is PixnPDF a good iLovePDF alternative?
For everyday tasks such as merging, splitting, compressing and converting, yes. Most tools run in your browser for free with no upload, no adverts and no watermark.
Can I convert PDF to Excel for free?
Yes. PDF to Excel runs in your browser and can read scanned pages with built-in OCR. Always check numbers in the result before you rely on them.
How many files can I merge?
Up to 30 PDFs per job on the free plan and up to 100 with Premium. You can run as many jobs as you like.
Is my data safe?
Browser tools never upload your files. Server tools ask for consent first and delete uploads within one hour.
