Smallpdf caters to teams and businesses of any size that require digital document processing, including tools to convert, compress, edit, e-sign, merge, split—online, offline, and mobile.
Small-medium-sized and large companies as well as individual users.
Another great feature of Smallpdf is its speed. All the operations on Smallpdf are done quickly, which can be a lifesaver for those who need to convert or compress large PDF files quickly.
Customer Service is horrible. I was charged twice and sent an email regarding the charge and found out a strange email was created and used my banking info for this account.
Functionalities are categorized better way as compared to other similar tools which do not create confusion for me as a user of small pdf. Pricing is excellent for countries like India.
Recent force landscape option to complete the eSign was giving trouble to most of my end-users, have to call and guide them to complete the process.
It's very cost effective and easy to use specially for converting small files. It has been very helpful for me to create graphs and report that are needed to be shared.
Occasionally there is an error in mathematical formulas and symbols when converting a PDF file to word or ppt.
Great; I would recommend it for quick jobs like PDF merges, and PDF conversions - especially if you want to compress the size.
This could not have been simpler. It loaded all my pages and I was able to select where to cut it off and make a new file.
CocoDoc’s effective 256-bit SSL encryption is worth the praise. Documents are quite secure across the PDF editor.
If your internet is not working properly then you can face difficulty in upload and downloading files which can hinder your work.
CocoDoc is such a welcome change. The platform works effortlessly and even if you are a first timer with PDF editing, it’s super convenient in usage.
It's an online tool, so when I have a bad internet connection it becomes difficult to work.
CocoDoc's OCR technology gave me the ability to convert PPTs into PDFs automatically. I recommend CocoDoc PDF editor for my devices because it is easy to use and very secure.
It is very difficult to work when my internet connation is poor.
Their Documentation Editing feature are great, I can easily edit my PDF document and work on it easily and work like just drag and drop feature are also amazing.
The offline version not available or I haven't seen it and that means when I'm in the report areas things will not work for me.
Idan Meir: Hi, I'm Idan, Co-Founder and CEO of RightHear. We're an early stage startup in the space of accessibility with seven people on our team, and I'm giving Smallpdf the rate of four. So before Smallpdf, we were actually using different tools online to minimize the size of the PDF, to merge the PDFs together, and different manipulations on PDFs with different sources online, nothing in one place. And we were looking for a one stop shop for everything PDF that we can do in order to edit, control and manage these types of files. We chose Smallpdf for the following main reasons. One, we were looking for a place where we could have all the different actions we want to do with these types of files at one place, just one favorite link that we can save somewhere, and then go there for whatever PDF work we need to do. And secondly is for the compress. We've been very impressed by the compression of the PDF through this tool. It was, I think, better than other tools. The user experience there, and also the size that it gets us, eventually, was better. So I think that was the main two reasons why we chose Smallpdf. Getting started with Smallpdf was very easy. Very simple. It was, at first, one account that we had for the whole team, and then we added another account. So at the beginning when we had only one account, and we asked another person from the team who couldn't access, that was a bit confusing. But then we realized that each person needed to have their own account. But once you're logged in, that's as simple as it could possibly get. Very easy to understand what you can do with these files, and how to do it, and very satisfying from that. My best advice for you, if you're thinking of getting Smallpdf or not, is give it a try. You'll find very quickly that it does serve the purpose that it's built for. And my other productive, I would say, advice would be to keep it in a favorite link somewhere on your tab of the browser. That's what I've done, and that's what makes it easy for us to access it. And so yeah, absolutely. It's a great tool, highly recommend to give it a try, and keeping it somewhere handy for your day-to-day work with PDFs.
