Fix files without the friction
I Hate Image and PDF is a free, browser-based toolkit for everyday file problems that should not need a paid subscription: a PDF that is too big to email, scanned pages that need merging, a photo that must be resized before it will upload, or a form that needs filling. Instead of installing software or juggling single-purpose websites, every tool lives in one place and works the same way every time.
Most PDF, image, text and calculator tools run entirely inside your browser rather than on a remote server. The file you choose is processed with your device's own power and is never sent anywhere, which is both more private and usually faster because there is no upload and download round trip. A few tools, such as Word to PDF, OCR and AI summaries, genuinely need server-side software; for those, files are handled in a temporary workspace and removed afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to use I Hate Image and PDF?
No. No tool on the site requires an account or sign-up, and the core free tools never will.
Is I Hate Image and PDF free to use?
Yes. The core tools are free, never add a watermark to your files and have no forced trial period.
Are my files ever uploaded to a server?
For most PDF page tools (merge, split, rotate, watermark and more), PDF to image, text extraction, all image tools and all calculators and text utilities, no: they run entirely in your browser and the file never leaves your device. Tools that need specialist conversion software, OCR or AI processing send the file over an encrypted connection to a temporary workspace, and each tool page states exactly which applies.
Which file formats are supported?
PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP, DOCX, XLSX and PPTX are supported across different tools, along with plain text, CSV, JSON, Markdown and HTML for the data and developer utilities.
Is there a file size limit?
Each tool shows its own limit on the tool page, typically up to 50 MB per file. Browser-based tools are also limited by your device's memory.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Every tool is responsive and works on mobile, tablet and desktop browsers with no app to install.
Do you add watermarks to processed files?
Never. Every file you download is exactly what you asked for, with nothing added.
How is this different from other online PDF tools?
Many PDF sites upload every file to their servers even for simple tasks. Wherever it is technically possible, I Hate Image and PDF processes your file directly in your browser, so it is faster and your document stays on your device.
