Frequently asked questions
Can iLovePDF rename PDF files based on their content?
No. iLovePDF is a PDF manipulation tool focused on merging, splitting, compressing, and converting PDFs. It does not read document content to generate intelligent filenames. You need to manually name each file. For content-based renaming that extracts invoice numbers, dates, and vendor names automatically, use renamed.to.
Is renamed.to a good iLovePDF alternative?
For different purposes. If you need to organize files by their content (invoices, receipts, contracts), renamed.to reads your PDFs with AI and generates consistent filenames automatically. If you need PDF editing, merging, or compression, iLovePDF has more features. Many users use both tools for their respective strengths.
Which is cheaper: renamed.to or iLovePDF Premium?
renamed.to uses pay-as-you-go pricing: $9 for 1,000 renames with 50 free renames to start. iLovePDF Premium costs $7/month (billed annually) or $9/month monthly. If you only need occasional file renaming, renamed.to is more cost-effective. For frequent PDF editing, iLovePDF subscription makes sense.
Does iLovePDF have bulk rename functionality?
iLovePDF lets you download processed files with new names, but there is no feature to automatically rename files based on their content. You must decide what to name each file manually. renamed.to uses AI to read PDFs and generate filenames like "2025-01-15_Acme_INV-1234.pdf" automatically.
Can I use renamed.to with Dropbox like iLovePDF?
Yes. renamed.to has native Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive integration with watch folder support. Connect your cloud storage and new files are automatically processed and renamed. iLovePDF connects to cloud storage for importing files but does not have automatic content-based processing.
