About iLovePDF

iLovePDF is an online PDF toolkit with separate tools for merging, splitting, compressing, converting Office files to PDF, adding text and shapes to a PDF, and removing a password. The site describes the basic tools as free, and they run in the browser. Desktop apps for Mac and Windows add offline batch editing, and mobile apps cover iOS and Android.

The free tier limits document processing. Premium removes most of those limits, adds digital signatures and workflows, and is billed monthly or yearly. Business plans add single sign-on and a dedicated account manager. For a few PDFs a month the free tier is enough. For regular volume, the paid plan is the practical choice.
