iLovePDF is a capable toolbox, but the free tier caps file sizes and tasks, and your documents are processed on its servers. Nanodoc runs entirely on your device: no upload, no account, no task caps, no watermark. The honest trade: iLovePDF converts between formats (Word, Excel, JPG) and compresses files, which Nanodoc does not do. For the editing half of the job, combining, page management, annotation, redaction, and signing, Nanodoc covers it free and local.
No sign-up required • No watermark • Files never leave your device
Both columns are honest. If the right column is your daily work, iLovePDF is worth its price and we would rather say so than have you find out after switching.
Format conversion (PDF to Word, Excel, JPG and back), compression, and OCR. Nanodoc focuses on editing: combining, page management, annotation, redaction, signing, and stitching pages onto one sheet.
Not with Nanodoc. All processing happens locally in your browser or in the free desktop app, so your documents never leave your device. Most online PDF tools upload your file to their servers to process it.
Really free. There is no premium tier, no trial clock, no daily task limit, no watermark, and no account. The project is supported by optional donations.
