### "Great PDF converter"

October 19, 2018

5.0

Converting files into PDFs or editing

Pros

It is a great tool, it is the best PDF converter that is out there. It allows you to convert any file (word, power point, jpg) to PDF, merge any files to create a PDF and edit PDFs.

Cons

I wish that the free version will allow more than 2 PDF conversions per hour.

### "The PDF that has it all"

February 17, 2021

5.0

Overall, this is a program your business needs if you deal with digital content. It allows you to set it up to fit your business. You'll wonder how you got along without it.

Pros

I decided to use this program because of all the digital material I deal with. It was easy to set up and cost effective too. This one program does everything I need it too. I don't have to deal with several programs to get my work dealt with. I love it!

Cons

It almost has too much to offer. You really have to pay attention to the program. It's easy to over do it with this program.

### "The Best Software to edit your PDFs !!! Absolutely love how easy it is to use :)"

February 23, 2022

5.0

Absolutely Easy to Use and Navigate!! Self explanatory... Love it

Pros

I have been using SmallPDF for about 2 years and I absoultely love how easy it is to use! I usually merge my pdf pages on SmallPDF and the fact that it is free unlike other softwares makes it so special. I am an immigrant in Canada therefore I often do my immigration paperwork. The official sites usually do not accept my pdfs because of it's size and SmallPDF always come through. It helps me to edit, crop, compress pdfs so easily and download it right away without any fee. If you have not used SmallPDF, you're missing out!

Cons

Don't dislike anything at all! Maybe they can increase number of free tasks daily to 3 or 4. Not complaining though :)

### "Why I started using smallpdf a lot "

September 22, 2018

5.0

I own a marketing agency, and we use Canva a lot in most of our designs, we struggled with the poor image quality we used to get from Canva until we stumbled on SmallPDF, so we started converting all our designs to PDF in Canva that re converting them to JPG in SmallPDF to preserve the great image quality and keep our clients happy.

Pros

\- Smallpdf is a great online converting site that allows you to convert any file to PDF or vice versa. - Its offer up to 16 type of operations you can choose from and they are all for free. - Its your one stop for all your converting needs - Easy to use, just drag and drop - No pop ups, of forms to fill or any "Enter your card information to proceed" - Fast website with a simple yet beautiful design - You can easily download your files - Supports a multitude of languages

Cons

\- As a free user you can convert (use it) only two times before you have to wait certain amount of time to use it again. - You have to pay to use it with no caps (which is understandable)

### "Buona piattaforma per editing di PDF ma con qualche difetto"

February 8, 2023

4.0

Usato solo qualche mese come alternativa ad Acrobat, è stato sicuramente utile e funzionale ma spesso la qualità di formattazione e di compressione lasciava a desiderare.

Pros

Interfaccia intuitiva, conversione di PDF in molti formati, compressione, unione e divisione files.

Cons

Durante la conversione verso .doc spesso ci sono errori di formattazione. La compressione dei files riduce troppo la qualità delle immagini.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Smallpdf

### "compress pdf - the best option"

October 14, 2019

4.0

What I use most in smallpdf are the options to compress pdf and join pdfs, the option of compressing is often indispensable for sending emails as email does not always support the amount of pdf I need to send. Another option I use a lot is to exclude page from pdfs, because sometimes I need to delete confidential pages in PDF files before sending to someone.

Pros

What I like most about this software is the possibility of using it online, without the need to download the software, because I use several computers and sometimes it is complicated to have to download them all, with the option of online use is much more functional.

Cons

The file is not always the ideal size I need, and I need to redo the process, as well as some errors in the conversion already occur. However they are specific problems, in 99% of the cases the formatting is done correctly.

### "The plataform to convert your PDF and for free"

February 27, 2018

5.0

Convert files into a PDF in only two or three steps, keeping the quality of the files and all the details.

Pros

I can convert the must common files in to PDF easily, just selecting the option of conversion and the file that you have in your computer or device, and in few seconds you have your files download in PDF format. Smallpdf support a lot of extensions, you can convert files from PowerPoint, MS Word, and Excel, and you can also convert images like JPEG into a PDF file, This a very useful tool and for free.

Cons

I think that the privacy and the content of the file is compromised, even they working to a secure connection, you do not know if the save a copy of your file for registration or other porpuse, so I will not reccomend convert private files with this tool.

I really like Smallpdf. The quality is very good for a free solution and in terms of price-quality it's possibly better than the Adobe subscription to convert and edit PDFs

Pros

Smallpdf is very easy to use. What I like most about it is the fact that everything can be done on a browser, not needing to download an app. A great and free alternative to Adobe when converting PDFs to Word files.

Cons

In some files, the formatting gets all over the place and it's difficult to keep working on that file.
