Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about IL PDF
Is it really free to use?
Yes, all tools are completely free with no limits, no watermarks, and no account required. There are no premium tiers or hidden charges.
Are my files safe?
Absolutely. Your files are processed entirely in your browser and never leave your computer. We don't upload, store, or have access to any of your documents. Once you close the tab, all data is gone.
What file size limits are there?
Since everything runs locally in your browser, there are no server-imposed file size limits. Performance depends on your device's memory and processing power. Most modern devices handle files up to 100 MB without issues.
Do I need to install any software?
No installation is needed. Our tools run directly in your web browser using modern JavaScript APIs. Just open the website and start working with your PDFs.
Which browsers are supported?
All modern browsers are supported including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Brave. We recommend using the latest version for the best experience.
Can I use these tools on my phone or tablet?
Yes, our tools are fully responsive and work on mobile devices and tablets. Upload files from your device's file picker or cloud storage app and process them right in your mobile browser.
How does the OCR tool work?
Our OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool uses Tesseract.js to analyze scanned PDF pages and recognize text. It creates a searchable PDF with an invisible text layer over the original page images, making the content selectable and searchable.
Is the redaction permanent?
Yes. Our Redact PDF tool permanently removes content under the redaction boxes. The original text and images are replaced with solid black fills in the output PDF — the redacted content cannot be recovered.
