iLovePDF is one of the best-known online PDF suites: merge, split, compress, convert and sign documents on the web. To do that, your files are uploaded to their servers, processed there, and then you download the result.
Toolkoa covers the most common PDF tasks (merge, split, compress, rotate, reorder, sign or turn pages into images) but does all the processing inside your browser. The document never leaves your device, no account is needed and we add no watermark. It's handy for contracts, payslips or any document you'd rather not send to a third party.
Real limits: Toolkoa doesn't convert to Word, Excel or PowerPoint and has no OCR, and with very large PDFs the speed depends on your device's memory and processor. If you need those conversions or team workflows, iLovePDF offers more features.

No. Toolkoa's PDF tools use pdf-lib inside the browser: the file is read and generated on your device.
We don't set a fixed limit; the practical limit is your device's memory. PDFs with hundreds of pages may take longer on a phone.
Not yet. Toolkoa can turn a PDF into images or Markdown, but not into Word.
