Generates documents meeting ISO 19005 PDF/A-1b archival specifications.
LovePDFs is a completely free alternative to Adobe Acrobat, Smallpdf, and ilovepdf. Unlike other online tools that upload your files to remote servers, LovePDFs processes everything in your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your files never leave your device — not even for a second.
This makes LovePDFs the right choice for sensitive documents — contracts, medical records, financial files, government forms, and anything you wouldn't want sent to a third-party server. It's also the only major PDF tool suite that is GDPR-friendly by design, since no personal data or file content ever leaves your browser.
PDF/A is an ISO-standardized archival format for long-term preservation. It embeds all fonts, restricts certain features, and ensures documents remain readable indefinitely.
Upload your PDF to LovePDFs PDF/A converter, select PDF/A-1b compliance level, and download the archival-compliant document for submission.
LovePDFs converts any PDF to PDF/A format for free in your browser — no Adobe Acrobat Pro or paid software needed.
