A private iLovePDF alternative
PDF merging, splitting, compression and conversion
iLovePDF is the biggest name in online PDF tools, but every job uploads your document to their servers and free accounts hit daily task and file-size limits. GenRise's PDFKit does the same core jobs — merge, split, compress, rotate, reorganise — entirely on your device.

Frequently asked
Is GenRise really a free iLovePDF alternative?
Yes — the core PDF operations (merge, split, compress, rotate, organise, image conversion) are all free with no limits, and your files never leave your device.
What can iLovePDF do that GenRise can't?
Features that genuinely need a server — OCR at scale, e-signing workflows, and some Office conversions — are where upload-based tools still win. For everyday PDF jobs, the browser is enough.
Comparisons reflect each service's publicly documented free tier at time of writing — features and limits change. iLovePDF is a trademark of its owner; GenRise is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
