Why Choose ToolBox Over iLovePDF?

Three reasons users are switching

No Server Upload

iLovePDF requires uploading your documents to their cloud servers for processing. ToolBox processes everything locally in your browser — your confidential PDFs never leave your device.

No File Size Limits

iLovePDF caps free users at 100 MB per file and limits tasks per hour. ToolBox has no server-imposed size limits — your browser handles the processing, so the only limit is your device's memory.

No Signup Required

Open the page, drop your PDFs, merge or split instantly. No account creation, no email verification, no waiting. iLovePDF pushes you to create an account — ToolBox gives you instant access.
