Is there an iLovePDF or Smallpdf alternative with no task limits?

Yes. Sealique edits, splits, merges and converts PDFs with no task cap, no watermark and no card; image tools run in your browser, and results can be signed in place.

Last reviewed 11 October 2026 · Sealique

iLovePDF, Smallpdf and Sejda are good tools with a business model built on limits: a couple of tasks per hour or per day on the entry tier, file-size caps, ads and watermarks until you pay. Sealique takes a different route: the PDF tools come without task caps or a card because they feed the signing flow, and the image tools never upload your picture at all.

Key facts

  • Sealique PDF tools are included with an account, created without a card, and have no hourly or daily task cap and no watermark.
  • Remove background, edit image and PDF to image run in your browser: the picture is processed on your device and nothing is uploaded unless you choose to save.
  • Every edit, split or merge is kept as a version or a derived document in your library, never as a one-off download.
  • The edited or merged PDF can be signed and sealed with a PAdES signature on the same page, then verified by QR code.
  • At the time of writing (October 2026, per each pricing page) iLovePDF's basic tier applies task and file-size limits, Smallpdf's entry tier allows a couple of tasks a day, and Sejda's no-payment tier allows three tasks an hour on documents of up to about 100 to 200 pages and 50 MB.

How do the task limits compare?

Sealique: no task cap, no watermark, no ads; uploads up to 50 MB per document; image tools with no upload at all. Included with an account, no card needed; remove background, edit image and image to PDF need no account.

iLovePDF: a basic tier with task and file-size limits, ads, files processed on its servers. Smallpdf: a couple of tasks per day on the entry tier, then paid plans per month. Sejda: three tasks per hour on the no-payment tier, on documents of up to about 100 to 200 pages (the cap depends on the tool) and 50 MB per file. PDF24: no task limits and no payment, but desktop-oriented, no signing or verification flow. Limits as published on each pricing page in October 2026; check them before you decide.

Which tools does Sealique include?

Edit a PDF (rewrite text, add text boxes, tables and images, cover content, rotate, reorder and remove pages), split a PDF, merge PDFs, PDF to image, image to PDF, remove a background and edit an image. Compression and OCR are not offered today; split or convert the file instead, or use another tool for that single step.

What makes the Sealique tools different?

Every result is a document in your library with its history: an edited PDF is a new version of the original, a split produces derived documents, a merge produces one. You can sign any of them in place: the sealed PDF gets a PAdES signature, a verification ID and a QR code that anyone can check. No other tool in this comparison closes that loop.

Best for whom?

Sealique: people who edit a document in order to sign or send it, offices that want no watermark and no quota, and anyone who prefers image tools that never upload the picture. iLovePDF and Smallpdf: occasional users who need compression or OCR once in a while. PDF24: desktop users who want many tools offline.

Questions people ask

Does Sealique add a watermark to the PDFs it produces?

No. No watermark, no ads and no task cap on any tool.

Do I need an account to use the PDF tools?

Remove background, edit image and image to PDF need no account; edit, split, merge and PDF to image need an account (no card) so the result can be kept.

Can Sealique compress a PDF?

Not today. Split the document or convert pages to images instead; a compression tool is on the roadmap.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

Image tools run in your browser and upload nothing; PDF edit, split and merge run on the Sealique server over HTTPS in private storage, never on a public link.

Can I sign the merged or edited PDF right away?

Yes. Every result can be signed in place and sealed with a PAdES signature and QR code.
