Our Mission

Making PDF tools free, private, and accessible to everyone. We believe that powerful document processing should not require expensive subscriptions or uploading sensitive files to unknown servers.

How It Works

Every tool on ILikePdf runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. When you process a file, the data never leaves your device. There are no servers handling your documents, no upload queues, and no temporary copies stored anywhere. This client-side architecture means your privacy is guaranteed by design, not by policy.

Technology

We leverage modern web technologies to bring desktop-class PDF processing to the browser. Ghostscript runs via WebAssembly for high-fidelity rendering and conversion. The pdf-lib library handles programmatic PDF manipulation. Our interactive UI is built with a React Lamp component for fast, responsive interactions. All processing happens locally — no backend required.

Our Vision

We are working to expand our tool suite to over 100 tools, all running client-side. Our roadmap includes advanced document analysis, accessibility checking, batch processing, and collaborative features — all while maintaining our core principle: your files never leave your device.

The Team

ILikePdf is built by a small independent team passionate about web privacy, open-source technology, and creating useful tools that respect users. We believe the web can be powerful without being invasive, and we build every feature with that philosophy in mind.
