### "Best PDF software I have ever used"

August 27, 2018

5.0

I can't tell you enough how much I love this software, it has truly been a gamechanger for me, even for someone who doesn't want to pay for the software (even though is really cheap) its free version is amazing for pdf reading.

Pros

SmallPDF is the best pdf software ever, it is extremely easy to use for pdf converting or editing, it comes with every tool you might possibly need for working with pdfs and best of all at a really reasonable price, it is the whole package.

Cons

The only issue I might have with smallpdf (but that I really understand) is the fact that when working with large files the conversion process can take a long time. Also opening the software can take a longer time than with other ones.

July 29, 2022

5.0

Its a handy easy to use tool for converting documents to pdf, Need to be very careful when uploading documents as it allows 1-2 conversion only in every 15mins if using a free trail version else have to wait until next conversion.

Pros

1\. The UI is amazing, its very user friendly 2. Ensures Fast and Flawless pdf conversions 3. Allows other operations for PDF handling like merging,editing,signing,etc.

Cons

1\. Support for conversion to other formats. 2. Hourly limits on conversions in free trail version, should be increased.

### "Smallpdf use in college students "

May 5, 2021

5.0

im a 22 years old medicine student, im currently at my fourth year and i can assure that every college student reads a lot and requires too much pdf\`s, imagine in medicine, all my books are on pdf\`s, this app is a great tool for all the students, its pretty much a relief in our day to day chores

Pros

It is so easy and accesible, you dont need any type of special knowledge to use this app, that is something that helps a lot, it dont uses too much storage so you dont have to worry about that and the design of the app looks pretty good

Cons

sometimes you can save a pdf and dont even know where it is, its just a matter of configuration in the app so you can select where do you want them to store

### "Smallpdf is a quick solution for everyday signature of legal documents"

November 23, 2023

4.0

My overall experience has been positive. I use Smallpdf to sign legal documents and sometimes to edit pdfs. I find it is reliable, quick and affordable.

Pros

The pros of Smallpdf is that the app is available online and can be used quickly with a free trial or no login required. These are particularly useful if you need a quick solution to your signature of legal documents.

Cons

What I like the least about Smallpdf is that the free trial does not have enough features for email management. I would love a more easy-to-use way of sending emails with the edited documents.

### "I've enjoyed the free version"

January 13, 2024

5.0

Pros

I've only utilized the free version of Smallpdf. It was come in handy when I worked for an organization that didn't have a paid subscription to a similar service. Typically I didn't need to complete a lot of the functions at once, so the daily limit would be enough for me to get by. Having it easily accessible online was also handy.

Cons

If you're needing to do more, the free version is definitely limiting. I've never looked into the pricing, so I can't say an opinion on if it is worth it (but I'd guess it might be!).

### "An ally in the office routine"

March 10, 2023

5.0

The application has already saved me in several situations, it has several good features but the pdf editing for me is the best, a shame it is limited in the free version!

Pros

When I was recommended the application I really liked it because several times I was breaking my head to be able to edit a pdf, I tried in several ways and many times without success. Now I know where to go when I need to!

Cons

I don't like the app having a daily limit for conversion. I know that the intention is to get people to purchase the paid option, but people are not always able to do so or use it for work routines and bosses do not buy the paid version, as is the case with me.

Why in the ilovepdf application there is no daily conversion limit. Depending on the day I use the conversion tool several times and in order not to be left in the lurch, I had to migrate!

### "Small Pdf"

June 19, 2023

5.0

It is useful. I'm using sometimes everyday but definitely every week.

Pros

It is super useable software for the people who needs to write and change documents everyday. In our job, everyone send me things as a pdf but mostly i needed to change them to something else.

Cons

First i think so expensive. second, turning to word doesn't work that good.

### "SmallPDF is one of the best tools we have ever discovered. We use it daily. It is great!"

March 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

There are so many functions. We can convert Word, Excel, Powerpoint and JPG files to PDF and convert a PDF file to those formats. We mostly use SmallPDF to compress files. This is a great help when storage space is limited in some of the apps we use. We can also split, edit, rotate and eSign a PDF file.

Cons

I love everything about this tool, but there is one thing I would like to change. If a file is the smallest size after merging or converting and then compressing the file, we receive a message stating that the file cannot be compressed to a smaller size but we are not given the option to download the merged or converted file.

### "Una alternativa eficiente y de facil manejo"

February 7, 2024

5.0

Smallpdf ofrece varias herramientas para trabajar con archivos PDF. La opción de fusionar PDF y división de PDF me ha resultado bastante util. Tambien resulta ser practiva, intuitiva y fácil de usar.

Pros

Una de las claras ventajas que destaca de otras apliciones son características que priorizan la facilidad de uso, la calidad del resultado de los archivos. Sumado a opciones liberadas que no requieren un algun pago.

Cons

Aunque no se puede conciderar una desventajas como tal, el uso gratuito o la disponibilidad de ciertas funciones en la versión gratuita en comparación con la versión de pago se hace evidente.

### "Excellent PDF Tool for any personal or business use! I use it all the time!"

February 20, 2023

5.0

Extremely satisfied. Makes me look like a tech genius to others when I "magically" covert file types wicked quick haha. Very useful and easy to use tool!

Pros

I love that you can convert PDFs to other file types, and visa versa. INCREDIBLY handy, and makes me look like a wizard to clients and others when they can't figure out how to submit documents because they're in a different format. I also use this periodically to split/add PDF pages apart/together. It is an immensely and time-saving web-based tool (so you can use it anywhere). It's also insanely easy to use!

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of anything negative right now. It has always worked well for me and done what I needed it to do!

Reason for choosing Smallpdf

It was the smoothest, easiest and most consistent product that I found.

### "Small but Mighty, Smallpdf Gets the Job Done"

December 27, 2023

Great; I would recommend it for quick jobs like PDF merges, and PDF conversions - especially if you want to compress the size.

Pros

The overall easy to use interface allows me to get in, get the function I need, and complete the task in short order.

Cons

The editing features could be a bit more user friendly; it didn't quite have the ease of use of EscapePDF.

Una herramienta tremendamente útil para la edición, combinación y conversión de archivos PDF. Si necesitas trabajar con archivos PDF, sin duda deberías probar

Pros

### "Experience with smallpdf"

December 27, 2022

5.0

Pros

For more than 2 year, i am using this software mainly for putting my e signature as well as for editing data. this is the one of the best software i found to use and trust for my e signature. the other best feature of this software is the merging the files in sequence without any trouble. Homepage is well designed. so, i found this software trustwothy as well efficient in mentioned features.

Cons

In my pinion, it is best software to use. it has nothing that i shouldn't like. Login requirment email to use the free trial, even for the very first time, is the featue that i might not like because for the very first time, people can not trust on software to share their personal infomation. so, this might be the only one feature that i like least about it.

My experience was super satisfactory, it met all my expectations about everything, it was super easy to use and very nice

Pros

The agility and speed in the transformation of the necessary documents, a software that is super easy to use and understandable with each available document and without any problem during the process of using the software

Cons

They could have resources to improve when choosing files faster when running the software, the time that the software takes to bring the expected result and in addition to having several options to choose from when saving the work performed makes it a little difficult to be finished

May 11, 2023

5.0

Fácil de utilizar, si lo recomiendo ya sea versión gratuita (aunque es limitado el uso por día) o si se va a pagar por ello, si vale la pena, tiene muchas opciones.

Pros

Es de las primeras plataformas que encontré para realizar este tipo de conversiones con PDF pero no hace mucho ya limita en la versión gratuita solo cierto numero de archivos por convertir.

Cons

Limita por dia como 3 archivos para poder convertir, antes lo utilizaba por mas tiempo, el costo si se me hace elevado.
