Smallpdf limits free users to two tasks per hour and uploads files to their servers. Here is a completely free alternative with no hourly limits and no server upload.
Smallpdf's free plan allows only two PDF tasks per hour, requires file uploads to Swiss servers, and prompts for a paid plan after the limit is reached. Files are deleted after processing, but they do pass through external servers.
No two-task limit. No hourly restriction. No file upload. All processing runs in your browser using WebAssembly. Every output is watermark-free. No account needed.
Tip: Run ten compressions in a row, merge twenty PDFs, compare dozens of files — no limits at any point.
Compress, merge, split, sign, fill forms, annotate, edit text, erase content, add images, OCR, convert to/from Word/Excel/PowerPoint/JPG/PNG, compare, protect, unlock, repair, crop, rotate, add page numbers, watermark, header/footer.
No. There are no hourly, daily, or monthly limits of any kind.
Yes. Files processed at pdfeditor.onl never leave your device. Smallpdf processes files on their servers, even with their privacy guarantees.
