IYONM vs iLovePDF

The iLovePDF alternative that never uploads your files

IYONM gives you the same PDF and image tools you know, but everything runs right in your browser. Your files stay on your device. No size limits, no task limits, no signup.

IYONM stands for It's Your Online No-upload Multitool. That is the whole idea: the work happens on your computer, not on a server you have to trust with your documents.

Where iLovePDF is still ahead

We believe in being straight with you. iLovePDF is a mature product with a few things we are still building toward:

  • Server-side Office conversion can keep complex layouts more exact than in-browser conversion.
  • iLovePDF has desktop and mobile apps. IYONM is web first.
  • They have a longer track record and a larger tool count.

If your top priority is privacy, speed, and no limits, IYONM is the better pick. If you need pixel perfect Office conversion of complex documents, their server tools may suit you.
