### "Enjoy the reliability of a software that facilitates procedures and compatibility"

February 9, 2021

5.0

The quarentine made even more obvious for me how useful the electronic signature and the file type conversion are, proving that working remotely, even without internet connection isn't an issue thanks to Smallpdf.

Pros

Smallpdf is reliable, practical and resourceful. It runs on any explorer, phone or tablet as an extension or as an app, which guarantees a very desireable deployment. This software fulfills perfectly its purpose, given that the document management is user-intuitive, efficient and straightforward. I would like to highlight that working on a pdf format is completely accesible due to the provided option to edit.

Cons

Small pdf doesn't count with document indexing, assembly, retention and archiving.

"iLovepdf" lacks the huge ammount of collaboration tools that Smallpdf has.

### "The process of conversion of your PDF files all through the cloud"

February 28, 2018

5.0

Awesome tool to edit, modify and convert files into PDF and all this do it through the cloud.

Pros

In this app I can upload files to apply changes directly from my Google Drive and Dropbox, which is very helpful for my because I do not have to occupy storage in my computer, tablet or smartphone. All the process is easy and once the file is available I save again in my Drive or Dropbox to share or save for my own.

Cons

The private policy for me is compromised, becuase I do not know if they have the same policies of Google and Microsof, so I do not know what is the destination of the original file or if this is deleted once I do the process of conversion.

### "Best tool to work with PDF files"

February 28, 2021

5.0

Good tool for conversion with PDF files. Simple and fast!

Pros

Smallpdf is my best friend at my work. I need to edit and analyze data that I'm receive in PDF every week and this tool helps me with this.

Cons

Smallpdf is great converting PDF to most popular kind of extensions. At my context, the software put every page of original PDF file at separated spreedsheet on output file, It will better for me, in one next update, put all data in one spreedsheet.

### "Edit and compress PDF files in three steps"

February 28, 2018

5.0

Compressed and edit PDF files in a very easy way and without download a program or app.

Pros

The capability to edit text, add and modify images and forms, draw and add specific features in a PDF file, all this is done easily, you just select the option, add the files, edit what you need, and download the files, a very easy process. SmallPDF also brings the opportunity to compress files, which is a great feature for huge files like books or file with a lot of images, that you want to save for you or share, the process is the same, and a few seconds you your file compress in your computer.

Cons

I think that they must add more options to edit, the ones that exist are very simple, maybe they can add the option of make personal stickers and more option of figures to add, and also the possibility to add and modify tables.

### "Smallpdf free premium tools"

February 17, 2022

4.0

It is a platform that I use often since it has many options to edit PDF documents, I can combine documents of different formats to convert them into a single PDF file, the best thing about this platform is that I don’t have to install any software on my PC, everything is donde in the cloud, all I have to do is upload my files, I edit, combine and then it downloads to my PC in the format I want.

Pros

Smallpdf is a platform that I use constantly as it offers tools for editing and creating PDF documents. What I like the most is that it offers free tools that other software offer in their paid version. I use it to convert, excel, word to PDF.

Cons

what I don't like is when you convert some documents from PDF to WORD the margin is not aligned.

5.0

Pros

I love that this program allows me to join different PDFs which facilitates the work when delivering final reports.

Cons

If the files are too heavy sometimes does not allow to convert them is what I like least and should inform the maximum weight that supports.

### "Perfeito para quem necessita editar e juntar documentos em PDF"

September 27, 2022

4.0

É um excelente software, possui uma estrutura bem intuitiva, porém quando necessário realizar o aglutinamento de grandes quantidades de PDF ele deixa a desejar, pois o sistema barra devido ao tamanho do arquivo gerado.

Pros

O software está em uma página da web e com uma simples busca é possível encontrá-lo. Há várias opções para conversão de documentos, para aglutinação e edição, o que é bem útil e otimiza tempo. O layout é bem intuitivo.

Cons

Aceita uma quantidade menor de arquivos para "juntar PDF" se comparado a outros softwares.

Overall, what I like most about Small PDF is in addition to converting documents, it also converts images and compresses without losing quality.

Pros

The thing I liked most about Small PDF is it was available to convert my Word document when nothing else was available.

Cons

There is nothing I can think of at the moment it does a lot for a simple little tool.

### "Super Practica App"

April 9, 2021

5.0

Muy práctica, rápida y eficiente al momento de resolver una conversión de documento, imagen o división de pdf, me encanta.

Pros

Me encanta todas las herramientas que tiene en su versión gratuita, es la más completa en la que ha conversión de documentos, como pdf, excel, jpg se refiere.

Cons

Lo que no me gusta es que no puedes convertir varios archivos a la vez, tiene que ser uno por uno, deben agregarle por lo menos un máximo de 2 archivos a la vez una vez al día.

### "the best PDF compressor."

March 6, 2019

4.0

In general, I used smallpdf when I had to create pdf files from scanned images or files, since it was the only easiest and fastest way to do this process. In addition, it used the comprehension function to reduce the weight of the files, since when containing images they were very large for the intranet of the company that worked previously, and when compressing with smallpdf the files turned out to be half the size and with a image quality similar to the original.

Pros

1.- Online application that does not require any type of installation. 2.- Its PDF file compression system is very good, managing to reduce the size of the files without losing quality. 3.- You have multiple options that allow you to work with PDF files, among the options you can; cut and paste files, rotate, add signature and the possibility of converting your pdf files to different format of office (word, ppt, excel). 4.- It also has a tool that allows you to create PDF files from xon files, word, ppt, jpeg and excel extension.

Cons

1.- Perhaps the only problem is that to be able to use smallpdf you must always have access to the internet since it can only be used through a browser, which is somewhat inconvenient when you are traveling and you can not connect to an internet network.

### "Convenient and useful converter"

February 12, 2020

5.0

I got many costumers that send me a PDF instead of the original file, this converter saves me A LOT of time.

Pros

I use small PDF almost on a daily basis, i like its versatility of being an online converter and an app, that way i can access anywhere from any device (that's not mine) where i need it, without the need to download it.

Cons

Nothing to like the least about Small PDF, yes it has a premium version that offers unlimited conversions daily (the free version only gives you 2-3 max daily), so i would encourage anyone to purchase the full version or the free-trial to start and compare.

### "The best PDF editor!"

May 8, 2023

5.0

I found SmallPDF because the need arose to transform several files into a single PDF, and I fell in love with the ease with which I perform this task with the program, I use this function almost daily.

Pros

What I like the most is that, in addition to file conversion, SmallPDF also provides the option to merge multiple files into a single document. What we need to do is simple and easy, select the files you want to merge, drag them to the upload box and click the "Merge PDF" button. Another important feature of SmallPDF is file compression, which is useful when you need to email or upload a large PDF file.

Cons

I have nothing negative to say about the program, as it has always met my needs perfectly.
