Is AttachKit as full-featured as iLovePDF?

No — iLovePDF has more tools (~30) and a bigger AI suite (summarize, translate). AttachKit focuses on the jobs most people actually need — fill, sign, redact, convert, compress, merge, OCR — and does them without uploading your file. If you need iLovePDF's full breadth, keep it; if privacy and a flat price matter more, AttachKit covers the essentials.

Doesn't iLovePDF delete my files after processing?

Yes — their privacy policy says uploaded files are deleted after 1–24 hours depending on your account, and they pledge never to access them. That's a reasonable policy, but your document still leaves your device and sits on a third-party server for that window. AttachKit removes the question entirely: the file is processed in your browser and never uploaded.

Can iLovePDF auto-fill a form from my saved details like AttachKit?

No. iLovePDF can fill a PDF's form fields manually, but it has no saved-profile autofill. AttachKit lets you save your details once and have AI map them into any form's fields — and the PDF itself never leaves your browser to do it.

AttachKit vs. iLovePDF — the same PDF tools, without the upload

iLovePDF: A huge server-side PDF suite — convert, compress, merge, edit, OCR, sign, plus AI tools.

iLovePDF is one of the most popular PDF toolboxes on the web — around 30 tools, used by tens of millions of people a month. Its free web tools all share one trait: you upload your file, their servers process it, you download the result. (Local processing exists, but only through their paid desktop app.) AttachKit runs the same everyday jobs — convert, compress, merge, sign, redact — entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your device, free.

Why pick AttachKit for these cases

The same everyday PDF jobs — convert, compress, merge, sign — but the file never leaves your browser.
Free and private by default; iLovePDF's free tier uploads, and its local option is a paid desktop app.
AI auto-fill from a saved profile — iLovePDF doesn't have it.
Flat $12/mo Pro (or $120/yr), no per-seat pricing.
