Workflows (chain steps) and batch: iHateUpload vs ihatepdf.cv

Both ihatepdf.cv and iHateUpload run Workflows (chain steps) and batch in your browser without uploading the file. Here is what each one does and what happened when we ran the same synthetic test files through both.

Side by side

• Workflows (chain steps) and batch

  iHateUpload ahead

  iHateUpload

  Chain up to 12 steps (merge, compress, protect, OCR, watermark, image tools and more) and run them on any number of PDFs or images; merge and split handled; per-file by per-step progress; one failing file does not stop the rest; download as ZIP; built-in presets; save in the browser; share as a link that never holds files or passwords

  ihatepdf.cv

  Pipeline of 17 page operations with 7 presets, run on one PDF at a time

  How we checked

  Their workflow page takes a single PDF (the file input is not multiple and accepts only application/pdf), so 20 PDFs or 20 images cannot be chained in one run, and it has no image-to-PDF step. Ours ran 20 synthetic PDFs through Merge, Compress, Protect in 3.9 s (60 pages, opens only with the password in pdf.js) and 20 JPGs through Images to PDF, Compress in 9.4 s (20 pages), with zero non-GET requests. Their page sent 11 POSTs to Microsoft Clarity during the visit. Checked 2026-10-21.
