### "versatile software for administration and conversion of files to pdf or pdf format to another format"

April 23, 2018

3.0

Pros

The low cost of your license compared to other similar PDF administrators is very good, it is a very versatile software since it does not limit itself to converting files to PDF format, we can also convert PDF files to another format, and it also allows us to compress, edit and perform several things, besides its usability is extremely simple so any user can adapt to its very fast use

Cons

the free version of small pdf is limited to the conversion of only 2 files every so often, which is a very unpleasant factor

### "Great PDF editor for professionals"

February 7, 2021

5.0

I am using SmallPDF in my daily work and it helps me to do it much faster than with other tools.

Pros

Small PDF is constantly evolving and adding new features. I work with many documents and SmallPDF is the most used app for PDF compression, merging and splitting.

Cons

The desktop app have many features of the web app, but not all of them. Would love to see them all in the desktop app.

Switched from

[ABBYY FineReader PDF](https://www.capterra.com/p/65868/ABBYY-FineReader/)

FineReader is great, but more expensive and slower. SmallPDF does not have all the features of FineReader, but is constantly developed and new features are added.

### "compress your PDF files to the maximum"

November 15, 2018

4.0

smallpdf I met him in a casual way once I was doing postgraduate studies. On that occasion I did a job in pdf which contained images I weigh a lot more than allowed to attach to my mail, and looking in several forums to get to smalpdf and really was an incredible utility as it decreased the weight to half and still it looked very good. Truly one of the best tools to reduce the weight of pdf files.

Pros

smallpdf is practically the same as the other similar programs that exist of this type, performs the same processes and in the same way being very easy to use (and with a very friendly environment), giving the options of cutting and pasting pdf, converting files pdf to other formats (word, excel. ppt jpeg), as well as to transform the files to pdf, number pages and in itself, all the same functions that the other programs have. However, it has a great advantage, and that is that the processing done to reduce the weight of the pdf files is really very good, since not only does this decrease, but it also maintains the resolution of the file as much as possible.

Cons

it does not have anything in particular that needs to improve or that it is a disgrace compared to other similar programs.

### "Smallpdf review"

May 22, 2023

5.0

You have all the editing options available. If you want to edit in your pdf file, be it a signature, text change, watermark, page numbers, fonts and anything, you are at the right place.

Pros

I am a teacher and sometimes converting a pdf to word os a must for me especially when the pdf is long. Thus, this smallpdf app is a great help to this and I have been using this to convert files and I must say, it's very easy and accurate.

Cons

The company just needs to work a little more on the calibration of the cursor and reduce the sensitivity.

### "Can't beat the price"

December 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

You are able to edit pdf files for free without the paid version, which makes quickly file editing great. I have purchased the full version to be able to manipulate more files then the free version allows, and it is a better price than purchasing Adobe Writer.

Cons

The free version only allows you one edit ever so often (2 hours or so), but the paid version I have had no issues with besides it can be slow based on your internet connection, but that is to be expected.

### "If You Send PDFS You Need This Tool! "

February 22, 2026

5.0

Overall I'm still incredibly satisfied with Smallpdf and I have been using it for several years. I intend to continue using it and often recommend it to colleagues looking for similar solutions. Smallpdf has been a blessing for compressing PDFS!

Pros

As an organization dealing with a lot of media-rich PDFs that are large in size, Smallpdf has been excellent for reducing the size while still retaining a high degree of quality in the file. It is often difficult to send emails that have attachments above 20 MB in our organization so SmallPdf is very useful when I need to send a PDF that comes in a larger size.

Cons

Minimal complaints, but the same would apply from before where in some cases higher resolution photos that are part of the PDF can get degraded a bit in quality, but that is to be expected. Just something to keep in mind if you are using higher resolution or high DPI images in your PDF files.

### "Everything you need!"

August 3, 2023

5.0

Pros

All the tools to covert a file to whatever you need. It takes any PDF and gets it to a different format in under a minute. It is free to use for about the first or second time and then you need an account after. It is still a great buy to get the ease of using it. You can modify the PDF in anyway you want which is nice!

Cons

No complaints since it is so easy and great the way it is.
