Most iLovePDF tools -- compress, convert, split, watermark, and others -- accept multiple files uploaded at once and apply the same operation to all of them in a single run, rather than requiring one file per job. The REST API extends this into automated pipelines, letting a script queue processing tasks programmatically for higher volumes than the web interface is practical for.
Concurrency and daily/monthly processing limits depend on the account plan (free, premium, or business/API tier), so high-volume batch use in production is generally a paid-tier consideration rather than something the free tier is built to sustain.
- Most tools process multiple uploaded files in a single batch run rather than one at a time
- The REST API allows scripted, automated batch processing beyond what the web interface supports
- Batch volume and concurrency are governed by account plan tier, with free accounts facing tighter limits than paid ones
