THE ORIGIN STORY
It's 11:47 PM. Your assignment is due at midnight. You need to merge two PDFs.
You Google it. First result wants you to create an account. Second result lets you do 2 files free, then it's $11.99/month. Third result uploads your file to a server in who-knows-where and takes 45 seconds to "process" a 200KB file.
You just wanted to merge two PDFs. Now you have three new accounts and a subscription you'll forget to cancel.
That's why ihatepdf.lol exists.
WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO DIFFERENT
YOUR FILES STAY YOURS
Everything runs in your browser. Your files never touch a server. We couldn't snoop on your stuff even if we wanted to (we don't).
ZERO SIGN-UP BS
No account. No email. No "sign up free to continue." You open the site, you use it, you leave. Like a normal website should work.
FREE MEANS FREE
Not "free for 3 uses then pay $12/month" free. Not "free but we watermark everything" free. Actually, genuinely, no-strings free.
BORN FROM FRUSTRATION
This started because merging two PDFs shouldn't require creating an account, verifying an email, and selling your soul to Adobe.
"BUT HOW DO YOU MAKE MONEY?"
Short answer: we don't. This is a passion project. We built it because we needed it and figured other people did too.
If you want to support us, tell a friend. Or don't. We'll be here either way.
Enough reading. Go fix your PDFs.
