What it means for your business

Less manual work

Documents are converted, compressed, signed and filed automatically, not by your team.

Faster turnaround

Work that took hours of opening, converting and sending files is done in seconds.

No infrastructure to run

Nothing to install, host or maintain. We run and scale the servers; you just call the API.

Fits the tools you use

Built into your own app, ERP or CRM, or connected without code through Zapier, Make or Power Automate.

Secure and compliant

Made in Europe, ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. Files are deleted automatically after processing.

Workflows

Build complete document workflows, not single conversions

Chain tools across the PDF, Image and Signature APIs without re-uploading files, and get notified by webhook when each step is done.

AI-ready

Make every document ready for AI

Give AI agents the same document tools your code uses. Connect any MCP-compatible client to the iLoveAPI MCP server, or call the REST API directly.

Deterministic by design. Every tool returns the same output for the same input, so agents get predictable, repeatable results. The only exceptions are the tools that rely on specific AI models: Translate PDF, AI Summarize and Smart Split.

Built for production

Everything a developer team needs to ship and scale

One task flow for every tool

Start, upload, process, download. Same pattern for PDF, image and signature.

$ilovepdf = new Ilovepdf('project_public_id', 'project_secret_key');

// 1. Start a task
$task = $ilovepdf->newTask('officepdf');

// 2. Upload from disk or URL
$task->addFile('contract.docx');

// 3. Process, 4. Download
$task->execute();
$task->download();
