Warqa as a Smallpdf alternative
Smallpdf is polished and popular, but its free plan limits how many tasks you can run each day, and files are processed on its servers. If you keep hitting the daily limit or handle confidential documents, Warqa gives you the everyday PDF tools with no daily cap and no uploads.
