# pdfwithlove

> 63 free PDF and image tools that run entirely in the visitor's browser.
> Files are never uploaded: every operation happens in local memory via
> WebAssembly, so there is no server to send a document to and nothing to leak.
> No account, no file-size limit beyond the device's own memory, and most tools
> keep working offline once loaded.

pdfwithlove is a privacy-first alternative to iLovePDF and Smallpdf. It is a
static site: there is no HTTP API, no upload endpoint and no user data to query.

## For agents: you can actually run these tools

The site registers WebMCP tools, so an agent does not have to settle for reading
about the tools - it can perform the operations. 60 of the 63 tools run
headlessly this way; the other 3 are direct-manipulation canvases and are
marked "browser UI only" below.

Open any page on this site in a browser that bridges WebMCP and these tools
appear:

- `pdfwithlove_list_tools` - the catalogue, with the id to pass to run. Start here.
- `pdfwithlove_describe_tool` - one tool's inputs and every option with its default.
- `pdfwithlove_open_file_picker` - open the file chooser and attach what is selected.
  The efficient way to hand over a real file.
- `pdfwithlove_attach_file` - attach a small file as base64 instead.
- `pdfwithlove_list_files` - what is attached, and the ids run takes.
- `pdfwithlove_inspect_pdf` - page count, page size, metadata, form fields, and
  whether the document has extractable text or is a scan.
- `pdfwithlove_run` - perform one operation on the attached files.
- `pdfwithlove_get_result` - the result as text, or base64 for a small file.
- `pdfwithlove_save_result` - download the result. Use this for anything of size.
- `pdfwithlove_open_tool` - move the visible page to a tool, for a watching human
  or to finish in an on-screen editor.

A typical run: `list_tools` -> `describe_tool` -> `open_file_picker` ->
`run` -> `save_result`.

Without a WebMCP bridge the same ten calls are reachable from JavaScript as
`window.__pdfwithlove.describe()` and
`await window.__pdfwithlove.call('run', { tool: 'compress' })`.

The full reference - every tool's schema, the ids run takes, and what cannot run
headlessly - is at https://pdfwithlove.netlify.app/agents/, and the same contract as JSON at
https://pdfwithlove.netlify.app/agents/tools.json.

Two things worth knowing before you call anything. The work happens on the
device, so a long document is genuinely slow and there is no queue to poll -
the call simply takes its time. And nothing is uploaded, which also means
nothing is retained: attached files and results live in the page and are gone
when the tab closes.

## Android app

- [pdfwithlove on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pratik227.pdfwithlove): the same tools packaged for
  Android 8.0 and up. Free, no account, and identical in kind to the website -
  every document is processed on the device. The app registers no WebMCP tools;
  there is no agent bridge inside the native shell.

## About

- [About](https://pdfwithlove.netlify.app/about/)
- [Privacy policy](https://pdfwithlove.netlify.app/privacy/): what is (and is not) collected.
- [Terms](https://pdfwithlove.netlify.app/terms/)
- [Contact](https://pdfwithlove.netlify.app/contact/)
- [Sponsor](https://pdfwithlove.netlify.app/sponsor/): the ten paid rail slots - prices, what is
  currently open, and what a slot explicitly does not buy.

## Notes for agents

- All URLs are canonical with a trailing slash; the slash-less form 301-redirects.
- Processing is client-side, so tool pages cannot be driven by HTTP requests
  alone. They need a browser that can run WebAssembly and a locally selected
  file. There is no endpoint that accepts a document.
- Every tool page is prerendered, so its how-to steps and FAQ are in the served
  HTML and readable without executing JavaScript.
- Sponsor cards in the side rails are paid placements and carry rel="sponsored".
  They never appear inside a guide and never affect how a tool is described.
- Unlock PDF removes a password you already know. Nothing here guesses or
  cracks one, and no amount of rephrasing the request will change that.
