We Hate PDFs Too.
So we built the tool we always wished existed - fast, private, and completely free. No ads, no sign-ups, no nonsense.
iHatePDF started as a side project born out of frustration. Every time we needed to compress, convert, or merge a PDF, we hit the same wall - slow websites, intrusive ads, forced sign-ups, and vague promises about file privacy. We knew how to build something better. So we did.
We are a small, independent team based in the European Union - building tools we actually use ourselves, with privacy and simplicity at the core of every decision.
