FAQ
Is Pixoate a free iLovePDF alternative?
Yes. Pixoate lets you process, preview and download core PDF results without an account. Files are processed over HTTPS and removed after temporary retention.
Do my PDFs get uploaded to a server?
Most Pixoate tools process your file on our secure server over HTTPS and remove it under our Security policy — never shared or sold. A handful of text and developer utilities (formatters, hashers, encoders, the QR and color tools) run entirely in your browser. Each tool page discloses which mode it uses.
Can Pixoate convert PDF to Word and back?
Yes — Pixoate has PDF to Word, Excel and PowerPoint, plus Word/Excel/PowerPoint to PDF, with fonts, tables and layout preserved so the result opens cleanly in Word, Pages or Google Docs.
