Edit and Convert PDF
Merge, split, compress, and convert PDFs without software.
iLovePDF
The Swiss Army knife for PDFs.
Extremely easy to use. Covers every PDF task imaginable. Free tier is generous.
Why I picked this:
iLovePDF is my top choice because it handles every PDF task I've ever needed—merging, splitting, compressing, converting, and more. The interface is incredibly intuitive, and I can accomplish complex tasks in minutes. The free tier is generous enough for most of my needs, and I've used it for dozens of projects without hitting limits. It's the one tool that covers everything.
