A Smallpdf alternative with no daily limit and no upload

Smallpdf's free plan has a daily download limit on most tools and processes files on its servers; the PDF tools here have no daily cap and run inside your browser. Here is where each one is the better choice.

Smallpdf's plans and limits as published on its own pages on October 20, 2026; they may have changed since. Sources are listed at the end.

Where Smallpdf is the better choice

  • Editing the existing text of a PDF (Pro), which this site can't do.
  • A mobile app, cloud storage and sharing links.
  • E-signature requests through Sign.com and AI tools such as chat with PDF.

Where this site is the better choice

  • No daily download limit: use the free tools as often as you like within the per-file limits.
  • Batch processing and full-document OCR are free.
  • Files never leave your device, and tools keep working offline once you have used them.
  • Beyond PDFs: image, video and audio, file, text, calculator, developer and business tools, most of which also run in your browser.

How the in-browser processing works, and how to check that nothing is uploaded, is explained on How it works.
