Berlvis vs iLovePDF, the privacy-first alternative
iLovePDF is a great brand. It's also a server-side product that uploads every file you give it, limits free users to a few tasks per hour, watermarks output, and pushes a paid plan. Berlvis Tools is a different model: every tool runs in your browser, so there's nothing to upload, no quotas to hit, and no upsell.
