Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Our engineers are ready to help.

What is the iLoveAPI PDF REST API?

A cloud REST API that lets developers add PDF processing to any application. It includes 24 tools to merge, split, compress, convert, OCR, edit, protect and summarize PDFs, using the same technology as iLovePDF.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Every account gets 2,500 free credits per month, with no credit card required. Free credits cover every PDF tool except the AI ones (Smart Split, AI Summarize, Detect PDF Forms, PDF to Markdown, Translate).

How does pricing work?

Tools consume credits per file, per page or per task depending on the tool. You can buy a monthly or yearly subscription, prepaid packages that never expire, or both. Only successfully processed files are charged.

Which programming languages are supported?

Official SDKs are available for PHP, Node.js, .NET, Ruby and Python. Because it is a REST API, you can call it from any language that can make HTTPS requests.

How secure is my data?

iLoveAPI is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and GDPR compliant. Files are transferred over HTTPS and are deleted automatically after processing. You can also delete a task and its files immediately through the API.

Where are files processed?

You can choose the processing region: EU, US, Canada, France, Germany, Poland, India or Singapore.

Can I run multiple tools on the same file?

Yes. Chain tasks to apply several tools in sequence without uploading the files again.

Can I process files asynchronously?

Yes. Add a webhook to your request and iLoveAPI will notify your server when the task completes or fails.

Can I use the API without writing code?

Yes. iLoveAPI integrates with Zapier, Make and WordPress.

Is iLoveAPI suitable for AI and LLM workflows?

Yes. PDF to Markdown, OCR, text extraction and AI Summarize turn documents into structured content that language models and search systems can use.
