Every PDF tool you need. GIANT power, zero uploads.
PDF Gaint does what iLovePDF does — merge, split, compress, convert, rotate, watermark and sign — but everything runs inside your browser. Your files never leave your device. Pick a tool below, drop your files, download the result.
All tools — click one to use it
Modelled on iLovePDF’s full catalogue (researched 25 Oct 2026), rebuilt with a bolder, faster, more dynamic theme and a privacy-first engine.
YOUR WORKSPACE
Merge PDF
Combine multiple PDFs into one, in the order you add them.
PDF files • They never leave this device
How it works: PDF Gaint uses pdf-lib + PDF.js running locally. For PDF → JPG / Text, pages are rendered on your device. Compress re-saves with object streams and strips unused objects — results vary by file; scanned/image-heavy PDFs compress least locally. Protect adds owner info + a visible security stamp in this free browser edition — for legal-grade AES encryption, use the hosting guide below to add a server worker later.
EXPORTABLE TO ANY SERVER — SINGLE FILE
Download this website & put it on your own server
This entire website is one single file: index.html — no database, no build step, no backend to install. Download it below and upload that one file to any host: Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, cPanel shared hosting, or your own VPS (Nginx / Apache). It will open exactly as you see it here.
- Click Download index.html above.
- Go to Cloudflare Pages → Create → Upload assets.
- Upload the file, name the project
pdfgaint. - Done — live at
pdfgaint.pages.devwith free HTTPS.
- Netlify: drag the file onto Netlify Drop.
- cPanel: File Manager →
public_html→ Upload → replaceindex.html. - VPS / Nginx: copy to
/var/www/html/index.htmland reload Nginx. - Custom domain: point
pdfgaint.comDNS to your host, HTTPS is free via your host / Let's Encrypt.
Why this fixes “website not opening”: the old build loaded its PDF libraries from one slow CDN in the page head, so the whole page stayed blank until that CDN answered. This build opens instantly and loads the libraries in the background from multiple CDNs (cdnjs, jsDelivr, unpkg) with automatic fallback — if one is down, the next one is tried.
What I found analysing iLovePDF
The original, in one view
iLovePDF.com — “Every tool you need to work with PDFs in one place… Merge, split, compress, convert, rotate, unlock and watermark PDFs with just a few clicks.” Its catalogue is grouped as:
- Organize: Merge, Split, Remove pages, Extract pages, Organize, Scan to PDF
- Optimize: Compress, Repair, OCR
- Convert to PDF: JPG, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML to PDF
- Convert from PDF: PDF to JPG, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, PDF/A
- Edit: Rotate, Page numbers, Watermark, Edit, Sign, Redact, Compare
- Security: Unlock, Protect, Sign & certify
Strength: completeness & simplicity. Weakness for privacy-conscious users: files are uploaded to their server for processing.
What PDF Gaint changes
- Dynamic theme: Black + signal red + racing yellow, chunky shadows, live marquee & animated workspace — not the flat pastel clone look.
- No uploads: Same core jobs, done locally — faster for small/medium files and private by design.
- Search-first: Type to filter 18 tools instantly, categories as tabs.
- Honest limits: Office conversions (true DOCX ↔ PDF with perfect layout) need a server/Office engine — here PDF → Word is delivered as editable .doc + .txt extraction, clearly labelled.
- Free forever model: Static site = $0 hosting on Cloudflare Pages (see below).

Free domain options that still work
- Free subdomain (instant, $0 forever): .pages.dev, .netlify.app, .vercel.app — start here today.
- eu.org / is-a.dev: Free subdomains, volunteer-run since 1996 (eu.org) — good for testing, risky for a brand.
- GitHub Student Pack: Free .me for 1 year via Namecheap if you’re a student.
- Hosting bundle: Some hosts gift a free 1st-year .com with an annual paid plan — read renewal price first.

Frequently asked questions
Is PDF Gaint really free?
Yes. All 18 tools on this page work free, with no sign-up. Because it’s a static site, hosting on Cloudflare Pages is also free with unlimited bandwidth.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. On this page, processing happens in your browser with pdf-lib and PDF.js. Close the tab and the files are gone from memory. That’s the main difference from server-based tools.
Why is PDF to Word a .doc / .txt here?
Perfect DOCX conversion needs a paid Office engine on a server. This free browser edition extracts your text in reading order and gives you an editable Word-compatible .doc plus a clean .txt — honest, useful, and free.
Can I really get pdfgaint.com for free?
A .com itself is not free in 2026 — it’s ~$10–15/year at-cost. You can launch today for $0 on pdfgaint.pages.dev and attach the .com when you buy it, with no rebuild needed.
Why did the website not open before — and how do I export it to my own server?
The old version loaded its PDF libraries from a single CDN in the page head, so if that CDN was slow or blocked, the whole page stayed blank. This fixed build opens instantly, loads libraries in the background from multiple CDNs (cdnjs, jsDelivr, unpkg) with automatic fallback, and shows a “PDF engine: ready” pill at the top. To export: use the yellow Export Website section above — tap “Download index.html” and upload that single file to any server (Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, cPanel public_html, or a VPS). No database or build step is needed.
