iLovePDF and similar suites are polished and feature-rich. They also typically upload your files to process them. SortMyFile takes the opposite tradeoff: fewer server features, stronger privacy defaults, and ₹0 hosting because processing stays in the tab.
Which private PDF and image tools does SortMyFile offer today?
Merge, split, compress (including target KB), JPG↔PDF, HEIC, EXIF strip, OCR PDF, contrast, axe HTML checks, QR, zip, and more — all client-side.
Does SortMyFile convert PDF to Word or Excel?
PDF ↔ Word/Excel/PowerPoint needs a server. We list that honestly on Pricing instead of shipping a pretend converter.
When should you choose SortMyFile vs an upload-based PDF suite?
Choose upload-based tools when you need Office conversion or huge team workflows. Choose SortMyFile when ID scans, tax PDFs, or medical forms should never hit a third-party disk.
How do ads work if every browser tool is free forever?
SortMyFile keeps every current browser tool free forever with no daily caps and no watermarks. Ads (Google AdSense) help fund hosting and development. Pro (when checkout ships) unlocks power features like layout-true Office conversion and batch recipes — not higher caps on tools you already use for free.
What trust checks should you use when comparing PDF sites?
Ask: Does processing upload my file? Is there a clear Privacy Policy mentioning ads/cookies? Are About and Contact easy to find? Prefer honest limits over marketing that pretends desktop Acrobat lives entirely in a free tab.
