### "an excellent PDF converter"

March 9, 2023

5.0

Personally I started working with this software since I was students with my colleagues, especially in the field of scientific research which requires the mastery of several techniques with regard to the conversion of documents into PDF, WORD or images. or others

Pros

it's a great tool, i wouldn't need to use multiple apps to edit my documents, it can do multiple task, like convert documents whether word, ppt , JPEG or pdf to word or vice versa, and you can use it at any time and several times.

Cons

Sometimes if you want to convert a document containing symbols to PDF, the software cannot convert them correctly, that is to say it cannot decipher them well.

### "Multitalent"

December 28, 2022

5.0

Smallpdf ist ein Multitalent, denn die Software hat viele nützliche Funktionen, wie eSignatur und die Möglichkeit, PDFs beliebig zu bearbeiten. Deshalb empfehle ich die Software häufig weiter.

Pros

Die Software ist praktisch und übersichtlich. Ich nutze Smallpdf, um Dokumente zu komprimieren, umzuwandeln und zusammenzuführen. Diese 3 Funktionen finde ich am Besten und am Wichtigsten für meine Zwecke. Deshalb freut es mich, dass es immer schnell und unkompliziert funktioniert.

Cons

Bisher konnte ich nichts Negatives finden.

### "The Substitute that shows its better than the main one"

July 18, 2019

5.0

I have a great experience and recommed for anyone searching for a PDF solution.

Pros

Small PDF shows that, even been free, you can have a good quality software. And the best part is: Its online! although the online software have some problems with too much ads, the software compensates by not charging anything for most of the functions. 99% of the things you have to do daily, Small PDF can solve for free. The best part is, for what this software does for free and with high quality, Adobe charges a LOT.

Cons

Too much ads on the online plataform. Sometimes the online processing of the PDF takes too long.

### "Level Up Your PDF Game"

May 1, 2019

5.0

Pros

This software has allowed me to any features available in Adobe Pro via the internet in a simple UI. I love the fact that our team doesn't have to download software to be able to use this simple online PDF tool. Whether it is splitting up the PDF or converting the PDF to another format, this tool is in my back pocket.

Cons

I don't like the fact that there isn't a support team or a way to report an issue other than to email the small pdf team. I would like to be able to vote on features, suggest recommendations, and report bugs.

### "Smallpdf - L’editor online che non ti aspetti "

February 2, 2023

5.0

Nel complesso Smallpdf è una perfetta alternativa ad altri programmi scaricabili a pagamento, in quanto ti permette persino di usare la firma digitale o altre funzioni che permettono di certificare i documenti.

Pros

Il punto forte di Smallpdf è, prima di tutto, l’usabilità; trovando questo software direttamente su Browser non si ha la necessità di acquistare/scaricare software aggiuntivi sul proprio computer. Inoltre, ciò che lo rende davvero comodo, è la possibilità di usarlo anche da Smartphone, magari in situazioni dove si ha la necessità di editare/convertire velocemente un documento ricevuto.

Cons

Direi che dal punto di vista dell’accessibilità Smallpdf è un buon software, ma sarebbe gradita qualche miglioria a livello di interfaccia, in quanto le funzioni sono sparse e, a volte, di difficile fruizione.

### ""wonderful for technical support team for applications" "

January 14, 2023

5.0

On usually, I employed smallpdf to convert scanned files or photographs into pdf files because it was the simplest and quickest method for doing so.Additionally, it made use of the ability to comprehend function to lessen the weight of the files because, when they contained images, they were too large for the intranet of the previous employer. However, after encoding with smallpdf, the files were reduced to half their original size while retaining the same level of photo quality.

Pros

Timely communication is valued by our clients, and using Smallpdf has expedited our workflow.Overall, I would unquestionably advise any small firm that has to accept, modify, or return crucial papers to use Smallpdf.

Cons

There's little to like other than the fact that the software tool periodically fails to recognize specific documents, although this only happens occasionally and has no consequence on your job.

### "Excellent online PDF software"

May 16, 2018

5.0

I recommend this to everyone who needs a solid pdf editing tool, beware of the fact that it works online so you can rely on it only when you have an internet connection and it would be better if it is a good one too.

Pros

Small pdf is a really complete tool, you can use it to mix pdfs and create large documents from smaller ones. It has so many great functions not just for file conversion (from jpg, powerpoint, docs, xlsx, xls to PDF or visceversa) it can edit them and most importantly split them and merge them which can come really handy.

Cons

Since you have to work online it can make our work connection really slow. There should be a downloadable application. In our country our internet connection is really slow so working with large files is really a pain.

### "As a user for a long time..."

October 19, 2023

5.0

Pros

I like that it is a fast and efficient service to use. It always reduces my documents to high quality and allows me to send my files in a matter of seconds.

Cons

If I'm not mistaken, maybe my file is too big, and can not be compressed more than I ask, but well, I think it's up to me, but I wish I could fix it with this site.

### "very good tool for different documents"

April 18, 2023

5.0

It is an easy-to-use tool and is very comfortable for daily use if you deal with documents constantly.

Pros

When constantly working with different documents, this tool helps a lot in management. Both for the digital signature and for file conversion.

Cons

Although it is very useful and complete, it is true that if you want more options you need to contract the premium version..

### "Using Smallpdf saves time on workflow"

December 9, 2019

5.0

Smallpdf allows the user to make the desirable changes in a PDF file, although he/she cannot change the texts (it should be done in the original file), but having Smallpdf near permits us to export presentations to PPT or DOC files, making it easy to interact and send to other users, compress sizes, to put numbers on the pages, delete undesired pages too, and many other incredible functions.

Pros

What I like most about Smallpdf is that it's a very user friendly, intuitive, free and available option for those who need to manipulate a PDF File, without having to buy a licence from a paid software. Smallpdf allows the user to make any changes he needs, such as import PDF as jpeg files or even compress the size from a very large PDF. It's neat and easy to use!

Cons

Positively I believe that there is no CONs for this software, because it's free, easy to use, accessible even for slow connections, and the user has a very intuitive interface.

### "Great little software for PDF formatting and conversion needs"

July 17, 2019

4.0

The neat little software is a powerful one - my experience with it has been great. There are many competitors on the market, but this one is simple and straightforward.

Pros

The chrome plugin allows me to rapidly convert files attached in Gmail, without having the download the file first for manual conversion.

Cons

Occasionally, conversion results in slight distortions - however, it may be because I have more complex properties on some of the files I convert.
