February 20, 2023

5.0

Muy buena, es una apps muy práctica, de fácil manejo. Hasta la versión gratuita te entrega varias utilidades para manejar tus pdf. Me ha servido mucho en mi trabajo docente. Muy recomendable.

Pros

Por las múltiples funciones que te permite hacer, con una interfaz muy sencilla e intuitiva, además me gusta que tenga una prueba gratuita, así exploras la versión antes de comprarla.

Cons

Que no hay plantillas predeterminadas para ciertos documentos, ejemplo: invitaciones, diplomas, currículum, etc.

### "Editor per Neofiti con poche pretese "

July 13, 2023

4.0

Ho utilizzato prima la versione free per un paio di settimane e poi quella a pagamento. Nella sua versione free il programma è un pò scarno in base ai miglior competitor free che vi sono in giro ma per una persona poca esperta e che deve utilizzarlo per fare poco editando pdf potrebbe andare bene. La nota dolente sta nella versione a pagamento che nonostante sia troppo cara offre le stesse potenzialità di altri competitor gratis. Nel complesso il programma è buono di facile utilizzo e di installazione ma ciò che davvero lo penalizza è il prezzo.

Pros

Un ottimo software per le persone alle prime armi con la gestione dei Pdf che non hanno molte pretese e che vogliono un software facile da installare e da utilizzare.

Cons

Nella sua versione Free offre poche funzionalità e molta pubblicità, invece per le versioni a pagamento direi essere un po' care per ciò che offrono considerando ciò che offrono i competitor

### "Pratico e utile"

September 27, 2023

5.0

Pros

Trovo che questo software sia uno dei migliori attualmente disponibili, lo utilizzo giornalmente e mi è di fondamentale aiuto durante il mio lavoro. Oltre ad essere pratico e veloce è di facile utilizzo e si apprende molto velocemente il modo in cui va utilizzato. Fornisce un'ampia gamma di strumenti con cui gestire e modificare i file in pdf. La conversione dei documenti è pratica e veloce ed altre funzionalità utili sono la compressione, la possibilità di unire o dividere pagine, la modifica tra cui rotazione delle stesse e così via.Utile e di grande importanza anche la firma elettronica dei documenti.

Cons

Migliorerei soltanto un po' il prezzo, per il resto non ho riscontrato alcun problema. È un software che consiglio a chi lavora giornalmente coi file pdf e documenti di vario genere.

### "Like a utility tool for busy professionals"

September 21, 2023

5.0

Sometimes when I scan a multipage document, half the pages are upside down... Smallpdf to the rescue!Sometimes I want to combine two one page documents so I can print them out on both sides of a single page... Smallpdf!Sometimes I have only saved the PDF verson of something I wrote, and want to reuse some of the text, or edit it... BOOM! Smallpdf can convert it to Word or Powerpoint.

Pros

I have full Adobe Suite through my workplace, but I love Smallpdf. It is my secret weapon. It is super easy to use, never messes up, and let's me do things like convert PDFs back to editable documents and edit or combine scanned PDFs. Totally worth the money!

Cons

There isn't anything I don't like about this product!

### "SmallPDF - Small gateway file editor"

January 22, 2023

4.0

Smallpdf is useful in many ways for editing a document or a file. More options are enlisted so that every editing can be done in a single place. More editing options are available on this platform. Moreover, basic editing options are available free of cost.Some features are only available on full purchase of this application. And sometimes some of the editing is quite nasty in terms of the final output of the file.

Smallpdf has allowed me to fill out documents and send them to clients without wasting paper or time faxing.

Pros

I love the ease of use and how there are so many functions available for free. You can use your own signature, fill in documents, and import different fonts and templates to use.

### "Just perfect"

March 23, 2023

5.0

I love it, will always use it as long as it stays that simple. The interface is familiar, with all things in the right place. It is one of those software that every business should have on their desktop. Strongly recommend.

Pros

Converts everything. From PDFs to JPGs with incredible accuracy and efficiency. I really like the classic PDF editing modes, always useful and well done. But I also appreciated the possibility of digital signing and PDF protection, making them within everyone's reach.

Cons

The price. Maybe a little high for these basic features. The functions of Small PDF are easily available online for free. However, it does offer unlimited downloads and desktop apps.

### "The greatest PDF tool software out there."

September 25, 2018

5.0

Smallpdf has been a handy tool to convert Microsoft Office files to PDF, as the current export option highly reduces image quality, and to compress files that are quite heavy. My company publish a monthly catalog which is usually two or three heavy files, where I need to not just join these files but also heavily compress them and Smallpdf does it perfecly.

Pros

Smallpdf is a complete solution for PDF files, being the most popular one the possibility to convert these to Microsoft Office files or images (and vice versa). They also offer some editing tools, such as being able to merge or split different files, rotate them and even signing or unlocking files. Also, the compress tool is shockingly effective, reducing some files sizes by 90% with a barely noticeable loss on quality. They also offer a desktop solution that is completely offline, being a lot cheaper than other tools in the market.

Cons

The only negative aspect I can think of is the lack of prepaid options. While it is possible to do two operations each hour for free, I can't justify paying a monthly fee when I may only need to convert no more than ten files weekly.

### "Effortlessly Compress and Convert Docs"

October 28, 2023

5.0

Pros

Smallpdf is a free, web-based program that allows you to easily convert documents into multiple file types. The feature that I use most often is to compress PDFs into smaller sizes for easy storage and sending. It is also convenient to have tools to edit, merge and sign PDFs all in one place.

Cons

There are multiple tools that need to be used separately. The file has to be downloaded before using another tool. It would be nice to have a full interface where all of the modifications can be performed within the app.

A great online tool, fast and reliable, easy to use, covers all types of conversions and many tasks I can do in one place in the both free and paid version and is a quick and easy way to perform common PDF tasks

Pros

The website is easy to walk around and navigate, and uploading is fast, I use the tool for converting and editing PDF files and It is super useful and efficient.

### "Good tool - limited in the free version, but very useful"

May 25, 2022

5.0

It's a very good option with good free resources. There is a limitation on the free usage, but it's good overall.

Pros

I love that it is easily accessible directly through the internet browser. It allows for multiple types of conversions and edits even in the free version. Easy to find with an easy Google search. No watermarks, which is great.

Cons

I wish the free version would allow for more conversions per day. This limitation made me migrate towards other similar free tools with similar features but with fewer limitations on the free version.

I felt smallPDF was easier to use and find. It started to popup on my searches more frequently and it also had similar tools (and all the tools that I needed). Later on I switched again to iLovePDF. Similar motives.

### "Une expérience pratique avec Smallpdf"

November 16, 2023

5.0

Smallpdf reste un outil exceptionnel pour des tâches PDF rapides et simples, mais l'intégration de fonctionnalités plus avancées le propulserait vers une utilité encore plus étendue.

Pros

Smallpdf se distingue par sa simplicité d'utilisation. Les fonctionnalités sont intuitives et accessibles, même pour ceux qui ne sont pas familiers avec la manipulation de fichiers PDF. La conversion, la compression et d'autres tâches se font en quelques clics, rendant l'ensemble du processus extrêmement efficace.

Cons

Cependant, bien que Smallpdf excelle dans la simplicité, les utilisateurs avancés pourraient ressentir une limitation quant aux fonctionnalités plus avancées. Par exemple, des options de personnalisation plus poussées lors de la conversion ou de la fusion de fichiers pourraient être souhaitables pour répondre aux besoins spécifiques de certains utilisateurs.

Small pdf is a compact sized pdf viewer. It can compress your pdf size to 90% or lesser. Mainly I can say it is all in one application to use. Try it and it will change your thoughts about pdf reading. This really convenient. Ill recommend everyone to use at least once. Happy reading.

Pros

It can compress the pdf size to 90% or lesser as we can read or keep more pdfs in our stock. Also it can convert,marge and edit the document in one hand. This is really a compact application to daily use.

Cons

The interface of the apps should be improved. It is in pristine condition but need to upgrade more.

### "All type of pdf work can be done with the tool"

October 20, 2023

I am satisfied with the smallpdf. I love using it. It serve all my purposes. So i am recommending it to everyone.

Pros

This the allrounder tool that can solve all your pdf problems. It can be used for merging pdf, compressing, editing pdf, protecting pdf everything can be done with that. So it's must recommended.

Cons

If you are using free plan, there is so much limitation. But if you want to buy a plan, it will cost a bit high amount as per my point of view. Because using this tool is not a daily task for normal people. So they should decrease the price.

### "Definetly one of the best PDF software I have ever used"

August 27, 2018

5.0

Small pdf is significantly cheaper than it's competitors and offers a quality product that is second to none, it is an incredible tool and has been amazing every since we started using it. I truly recommend it.

Pros

Ever since I used the free version in small pdf website I was convinced that this was one of the best pdf softwares available and I was totally right, it has every possible tools and gadgets for pdf editing and it is incredibly easy, its conversions are top notch and most of all it is really fast for pdf reading.

Cons

Something I really don't like about smallpdf is how limited the free version is on its website, you can convert only two files an hour, it almost convinced me not to buy it (but thanks god I did)

### "Needs a lot of improvement"

April 22, 2021

4.0

A good product, have scope for improvement, as I use only for eSign tool I would want the process to be simpler and the issue highlighted above to be addressed.

Pros

My job requires end-user to digitally eSign the documents, smallpdf was very handy to carry out the same. Also all the PDF tools were handy and work with Ease.

Cons

1\. End-user used to see the pixelated document, when highlighted there was no help. 2. 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. 3. Documents used to take ever to load in few cases even with good connectivity and never used to load with moderate to low connectivity.

### "Small PDF un sito rapido per la modifica/compressione dei tuoi file"

July 4, 2023

5.0

Ottimo programma per la realizzazione di file PDF adatti ad ogni esigenza. Ottimo per la creazione di contenuti alle esatte dimensioni che necessiti. Interessante e rapido. Lo consiglio.

Pros

Facile e intuitivo. La modifica e la compressione dei file è pressoché istantanea. Permette di ridurre o aumentare le dimensioni del proprio file e di renderlo adatto ad ogni occasione. Ottimo come strumento rapido per le occasioni in cui non si ha tempo da perdere.

Cons

Non mi piace molto che i file caricati espongono i tuoi dati personali. Spero possano risolvere.
