I got fed up with iLovePDF's 25MB limits & ads, so I built a privacy-first, zero-ads alternative🐊

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Abhijeet, creator of JPG to PDF Converter.

Why I Built This:

I was frustrated by "free" PDF converters that:

- ❌ Cap files at 25 MB

- ❌ Force watermarks on output

- ❌ Show intrusive ads and fake download buttons

- ❌ Upload your sensitive documents to servers with vague privacy promises

So I built the Anti-iLovePDF:

What Makes This Different

✅ 100 MB file limits — 4x the industry standard

✅ Zero watermarks, ever — completely clean output

✅ Zero ads — minimalist, focused UI

✅ Dual-engine privacy — convert in-browser (files never leave your device) / use cloud mode for large batches

✅ Target file size — output PDFs under 200KB/500KB/1MB for government/university portals

✅ Document enhancer — 1-click "scanner mode" to remove yellow tint and shadows

The Tech

- Hybrid architecture: Client-side pdf-lib) for 85% of conversions ($0 cost), Go worker fallback for heavy batches

- Cloudflare R2 for zero-egress storage

- Next.js + NestJS + Go + PostgreSQL + Redis

Try It Free

No signup required. No watermarks. Files deleted after 60 minutes (or delete instantly with one click).

What's Next

- Chrome extension (right-click any image → convert to PDF)

- PWA support for offline conversion

- Google Drive / Dropbox / OneDrive import

Would love your feedback! What features do you wish existed in a PDF converter?

P.S. First 500 users get lifetime access to OCR when we launch it next month. 🎁
