About
I Love My P.D.F. is a free and open-source site to prepare your documents before sharing them: filter personal data, merge, split and convert PDFs, without ever sending them over the Internet.
Why this site
We hand more and more text over to AI tools and online services. Yet our documents often hold names, addresses or numbers that have no business being there. I Love My P.D.F. lets you remove them before sharing, and do everyday PDF tasks without going through a server.
Our commitments
Your files are processed by your browser, on your device: no server receives them. No account, no ads, no cookies, no analytics, and nothing is kept once the page is closed.
Who is behind it
I Love My P.D.F. is an independent project created by Ambroise Jessenne.
Free software
The source code is released under the MIT license: anyone can read it, check it, reuse it and suggest improvements.
