iHatePDF is a comprehensive, free online suite of 35+ professional PDF tools designed to simplify how you work with documents. Whether you need to edit text, merge files, split pages, compress large documents, convert between formats, run OCR on scanned files, add electronic signatures, or protect sensitive data, everything is available in one fast, secure, and intuitive workspace.
At the core of the platform is Editly, a full-featured PDF editor that lets you modify text, insert images, annotate pages, and rearrange content directly in your browser. Alongside it sits Buddy, an intelligent chat assistant that understands your requests and runs the right tool for you. Simply upload your file and describe what you need.
What truly sets iHatePDF apart is its Browser/Server processing mode. 25 of the tools run entirely on your local device, keeping your files private and off remote servers. For heavier tasks, server-side processing delivers enterprise-grade results powered by Ghostscript and qpdf. The platform supports batch processing, seamless cloud import from Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive, and direct workflow chaining between tools without re-uploading.
