Disclaimer

Last updated: January 1, 2024

The information and tools provided by ILovePDF are for general use and informational purposes only. By using our Service, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. No Warranty

ILovePDF provides all tools and content "as is" and "as available" without any representations or warranties, express or implied. We make no warranty that:

• The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
• The results obtained from using the tools will be accurate, reliable, or complete.
• Any errors in the software or tools will be corrected.

2. File Processing Accuracy

Our PDF and image processing tools are designed to produce high-quality results; however, certain edge cases may result in imperfect output. In particular:

• PDF to Word/Excel/PowerPoint: Conversions are text-based. Complex formatting, embedded fonts, and images may not be preserved perfectly.
• PDF Protection: Where server-side encryption tools (Ghostscript/qpdf) are unavailable, we apply metadata-based protection. This is not equivalent to strong cryptographic encryption. Do not rely solely on our protection tool for highly sensitive documents.
• OCR: Our OCR tool extracts text from text-based PDFs. Scanned (image-based) PDFs require specialized OCR software beyond the scope of our free tool.
• AI Summarizer: Our summarizer uses extractive techniques and does not guarantee perfect summaries of all document types.
• Translation: Translations are provided via the free MyMemory API and may not be perfect. We do not guarantee translation accuracy.
• Background Remover: Works best on images with solid white or near-white backgrounds. Complex backgrounds may require manual editing.

3. Temporary File Handling

Files uploaded to ILovePDF are processed entirely in memory or in a temporary server directory. They are deleted within 8 seconds of delivery. While we take reasonable precautions to ensure file security during transmission (HTTPS), we cannot guarantee absolute security. Do not upload highly sensitive documents (e.g., classified government documents, medical records with patient identifiers, or financial records) to our service. You use our file upload feature at your own risk.

4. Third-Party Services

Some tools on ILovePDF rely on third-party APIs (e.g., MyMemory for translation). We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or privacy practices of these third-party services. Use of such tools constitutes agreement with the respective third-party terms of service.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ILovePDF, its owners, operators, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, or special damages arising from:

• Use or inability to use the Service or its tools.
• Loss or corruption of files or data during processing.
• Inaccurate or incomplete tool results.
• Unauthorized access to your files during transmission or processing.

6. External Links

Our website may contain links to external websites. We have no control over the content of those sites and accept no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

7. Advertising

ILovePDF displays advertisements provided by Google AdSense. We do not control the content of these advertisements and are not responsible for products or services advertised by third parties. Advertisement revenue helps us maintain this free service.

8. Governing Law

This Disclaimer shall be governed by applicable laws. Any disputes arising from use of ILovePDF shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation.
