Hi Product Hunt 👋 I built iHatePDF because of a habit I couldn't shake: every time I needed to merge two PDFs, I'd upload a contract to a random website and then spend the next ten minutes wondering who now has a copy of it. Most "free online PDF tools" are just a file upload with a delete-after-1-hour promise you can't verify. So iHatePDF does the processing in the browser. You drop a file in, the work happens on your machine, and the file comes back. Nothing is uploaded, which also means there's no account, no queue, no 20MB free-tier cap, and no watermark stamped on page one. There are 48 tools in there now. The ones people use most: • Merge / Split / Extract pages — drag to reorder, then done • Compress — for the "attachment too large" moment • Sign — draw it or upload an image • Unlock — strip the print/copy restrictions off a PDF you already have • PDF → Text / Image / Markdown / JSON — the last two are for feeding PDFs to LLMs • PDF Word Count — for anyone with a submission word limit What it is not: a cloud workspace. Nothing is saved, so there's no history and no "open on my other device". Very large files are limited by your own RAM rather than by our plan tier. And a scanned PDF with no text layer has no text to extract — check the output before you trust it. It's free. I'd genuinely like to hear which tool you reached for first, and which one you expected to find and didn't — that's how the next batch gets picked.

I really love this. One thing that would be absolutely phenomenal is the ability to redact. Do you know how many times I want to take a PDF but get rid of sensitive information, but still have some key information available, especially when I'm trying to understand something with technology such as Claude or ChatGPT. Adobe Acrobat subscription is ridiculous. Other services that offer a reduction give dirty watermarks.
