50+ tools
Merge, split, rotate, compress, watermark, sign, compare, and convert to and from Office, images and HTML.
Your PDFs. Your server. Your rules.
iLikePdf is a private PDF workspace with 50+ tools to edit, convert, sign, redact and automate documents. Run it on your laptop or your own infrastructure — nothing is uploaded to someone else's cloud.

Everything a document needs
One workspace instead of a dozen online converters that keep a copy of your files.
⌘
Desktop-class workflow
Upload once and chain tools. Files stay in the browser between operations, so large documents don't get re-uploaded.
◎
Private by design
The backend is stateless and processes documents in memory or temporary storage on a machine you control.
⚙
Automation
Build no-code pipelines in the UI or call the REST API for every tool to process documents at scale.
文
40+ languages
Full localization, dark and light themes, and an interface that works on desktop, tablet and phone.
★
Optional accounts
Add Google sign-in and a token balance when you want to share an instance with other people.

No account needed to start. Accounts and tokens are opt-in.

Run the Spring Boot backend and the Vite front end, or use the task runner.
Process documents
Drop a PDF into the workbench and chain the tools you need.
Add accounts if you want

Questions
Where are my files stored?
In your browser and on the machine running the backend. iLikePdf has no cloud storage and no telemetry.
Do I need an account?
No. Accounts and tokens are only enabled when you deploy the optional Cloudflare Worker.
How do payments work?
Checkout runs through Stripe (cards) and PayPal. Tokens are credited by the payment provider's webhook or capture callback, not by the browser.
Can I self-host the whole stack?
Yes. The Java backend and React front end run on any machine with JDK 25 and Node.js. The Worker is only needed for shared accounts.
