What iLovePDF does
Who it’s for: anyone who handles PDFs at work, especially for simple, repeated tasks: assembling a file, slimming down an attachment, signing.
Compress a PDF
The tool reduces the file size. You choose among three levels: extreme, recommended, or low compression, depending on the quality you want to keep.
Convert to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and back
A PDF becomes a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file you can edit, or a series of images. In the other direction, your office documents and images become PDFs.
Also
- Recognize the text in a scanned document
- Sign and request signatures
- Summarize a PDF with AI
- Translate a PDF
- Permanently hide information

Nova’s advice
The free plan is enough for most employees: merging, compressing, or converting a file now and then. Premium is worth it if you process batches of documents every week, if you need the certified signature, or if you want to work without sending your files over the internet.

What it does less well
