Filozy

iLovePDF alternative

The iLovePDF alternative for files you would rather not upload.

iLovePDF is a well-run service that processes your PDF on its servers and deletes it afterwards. Filozy does the same jobs — merge, split, compress, convert, sign, protect, redact — without the upload step at all. Here is exactly where the two differ, in their own words and ours.

What Filozy does instead

Filozy's document tools process the files on your device and save the results locally, without uploading your document to our server. Capacity depends on your browser, available memory and the selected operation. Multi-step workflows can temporarily store a result in your browser to carry it to the next tool; see the privacy policy for cleanup details. The website and supporting engine files still require ordinary web requests.

When iLovePDF is the better choice

Questions people ask

Is Filozy free like iLovePDF?

Yes, and without the free-tier limits: there is no daily task quota, no file-count limit and no account, because nothing is processed on a server that has to be paid for. Your device does the work.

Does iLovePDF keep my files?

According to its own security page, iLovePDF stores uploads on its servers only long enough to process them and deletes them automatically after a number of hours that depends on the account type. Filozy never receives the file, so there is nothing to keep or delete.

Which iLovePDF tools does Filozy not have?

HTML-to-PDF rendering is planned but not live, because a browser cannot fetch another website. Certified digital signatures, desktop and mobile apps, and cloud workspaces are not offered — those genuinely need a server or an installed application.

Can I switch a workflow from iLovePDF to Filozy?

The mapping table on this page pairs each common iLovePDF tool with the Filozy tool that does the same job in the browser. Connected workflows on Filozy also pass a result from one tool to the next without re-selecting the file.
