What frustrates you most about existing PDF tools?

by•

I’ve been working on iLikePDF, a browser-based PDF and image toolkit, and while building it I kept noticing the same trade-offs across existing tools: too many steps, signup walls, confusing interfaces, weak mobile UX, or limited free usage.

I’m curious how other makers and users think about this space.

When you use PDF or image tools, what matters most to you?

  • Speed

  • Privacy

  • No signup

  • Better mobile experience

  • More conversion formats

  • Higher compression quality

  • Simpler interface

I’m especially interested in hearing what annoys you most about the tools you already use, and what would actually make you switch.

For context, I’m building around common workflows like merging, splitting, compressing, converting and resizing files.
