iLovePDF is one of the most popular online PDF tool suites, offering merge, split, compress, convert, and more. However, it uploads your documents to their servers, and the free tier limits you to 2 tasks per day.
EaziApps PDF tools use pdf-lib and pdfjs-dist to process selected documents in the browser rather than sending them to an EaziApps PDF-processing server. The current tools do not use account-based daily quotas.

Verdict
For core PDF operations - merge, split, compress, unlock - EaziApps is the privacy-first choice with no daily limits. iLovePDF offers more advanced features like OCR, e-sign, and format conversion, but requires uploading your documents. If your PDFs contain sensitive information, browser-based processing is the safer option.
