### "Smallpdf to reduce files size"

March 31, 2021

3.0

I would suggest to use Smallpdf when you need to fastly reduce the size of a PDF document.

Pros

Smallpdf is very easy to use and it fastly allows to reduce the size of PDF documents, allowing to attach them to emails.

Cons

Smallpdf doesn't allow its users to reduce the size of PDF documents that are too heavy for the platform (files around +40GB size).

### "Do what you desire to any document!"

June 18, 2019

5.0

Apart from the arabic text issue, which i find alternative ways to get done. Smallpdf has never disappointed regardless of the task, whether it be converting word to pdf, or vice versa, jpeg to pdf or vice versa, merging pdfs or compressing. It does a great job with just a few clicks.

Pros

Over the years they have made smallpdf more easier to use. With the recent update to the website, the look and feel of the website is great. Everything is well categorized and the best thing is the drag and drop feature. I mostly use the PDF conversion tools and the PDF compression tools. Any document related issue, smallPDF is my go to website

Cons

When converting documents with different language, Arabic in my case, small pdf messes up the whole document. The text doesnt make sense, the alignment is all off.

Alternatives considered

### "Essential app for Bookkeepers"

March 8, 2022

5.0

I love Smallpdf! It fufills my special reporting needs as a bookkeeper and is affordable.

Pros

This program allows PDF editing, document splitting, and conversions to other file formats such as Word. I love being able to customize bookkeeping reports for clients, and couldn't do that without this software.

Cons

I wish the text editing were better. Converting a doc to Word in order to change or add a line/text is a lot of trouble.

### "comentario Smallpdf"

December 14, 2022

4.0

En general smallpdf es una buena herramienta para gestion de documentos y me ha sido de mucha utilidad pero preferiría pagar por nitro pdf o adobe acrobat que aunque tienen un mayor costo son más completos e igualmente muy intuitivos.

Pros

Me gusta la facilidad con la que puedo cargar mis documentos y lo rapido que hace las conversiones, compresiones y cambios de formato.

Cons

Algunas veces me convierte mal los pdfs sobretodo cuando paso de pdf a word, se me desordenan las imagenes.

### "Hay mejores gratuitos"

November 8, 2021

4.0

La herramienta la usé durante un tiempo en la búsqueda de un software cómodo de lectura de documentos PDF. Sin embargo, desde la versión gratuita, solo encontré una ventaja y es el orden cuando debo leer muchos documentos de forma simultánea gracias a la barra superior ampliada.

Pros

Me gusta mucho lo sencillo que es de usar, y la organización que tiene para tener varios archivos abiertos al mismo tiempo.

Cons

Desde la versión gratuita deberían de haber más opciones como en otros software para lectura de PDF: subrayar y escribir sobre los documentos es una herramienta que hace mucha falta desde la versión de escritorio. Además, en términos de conversión de archivos se debe de ir hasta la página web para hacerse, lo que se me hace una funcionalidad básica.

### "Great suite of PDF tools that every business uses"

February 15, 2023

5.0

Pros

Very clean interface that has many PDF tools that help convert, edit, merge, and compress documents with ease. It's very affordable and well worth the paid plans if your team uses PDFs on a daily or weekly basis.

Cons

Sometimes document processing can drag on for minutes.

### "Invaluable tool for your document sharing needs"

January 8, 2019

5.0

Pros

This software is incredibly versatile and helpful, I lost count of how many times I’ve used it and how many times I’ve suggested it to my coworkers. It helps you with a ton of little tasks that might not be easy to accomplish for less tech-savvy people.

Cons

Nothing, really. It is very reasonably priced and if you’re a casual user, the free plan will let you do pretty much anything.

### "PDF hero and more"

November 27, 2018

5.0

I love this tool

Pros

I love this software! I have never had to contact support. There help section answered any questions that I've had so far. I downgraded from my paid account because my project ended. PDF's and Jpegs can be converted and it's quick.

Cons

You can only download a few conversions in an hours time on the free plan, but it's fair. I suggest making sure you have the conversion correct before exceeding your limit.

Smallpdf is available instantly online and we get the files converted within no time. I highly recommend this software to anyone who would need a quick conversion of their files to pdf and vice versa.

Pros

Small Pdf provides various options to convert the documents from Microsoft applications such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint to Pdf and vice versa.

Cons

We cannot use small pdf more than to convert files more than 2 times. We would need to upgrade to pro subscription.

### "A maneira mais rápida e eficaz de obter um PDF"

August 17, 2021

5.0

Todos os dias me é útil utilizar a aplicação no meu trabalho pois é a forma mais rápida.

Pros

Bom para converter qualquer tipo de documento para PDF ou PDF para qualquer outro tipo de documento. É muito rápido para converter esses documentos e é minha escolha quando preciso converter qualquer tipo de documento para PDF. Estou a utilizar no meu trabalho diário e isso ajudar-me a fazê-lo muito mais rápido do que com outras ferramentas.

Cons

A aplicação no computador têm muitos recursos da app, mas não todos. A implementação dos mesmos na aplicação no computador seria uma mais valia.

### "Horrible Service from Smallpdf"

March 14, 2023

1.0

I hate this company with a passion. I paid this company for almost a year, and their service malfunctioned and I couldn't download a key contract that had been counter-signed by all parties through their service, and their Help support was terrible. I got two messages making promises from support, but nothing happened, and then they just stopped replying. Horrible, horrible service. Then I asked them for a refund, and they just disappeared. It looks like this company is some ghost Swiss ripoff outfit taking money and thinking they can ignore customer complaints, because they don't think they will face any repercussions in other countries. I hope the government goes after them.

Pros

At first I liked the ease of getting agreements signed.

Cons

Everything. When the service stops working or malfunctions, you can't get help, or any accountability from the company. And these mistakes are critical because they often involved business and contracts.

August 27, 2023

4.0

It's definitely cost-effective and user-friendly. If you need some basic features only, the free version would do.

Pros

I have been using a free version only so far but it's quite satisfying when I need some basic features like merging files and adding text.

Cons

There is a limitation to what I can edit with a free version, but I cannot really complain as it's FREE!

### "Don't miss it!"

July 31, 2018

5.0

smallpdf is a very convenient tool because it is free, online and comprehensive, so you can have your PDF job done quickly and elegantly wherever you are without depending on a paid or desktop application.

Pros

I first came across smallpdf when I was looking for ways to compress PDF documents to upload to my websites. Keeping things small and fast is essential for web designers. Among the online tools that I discovered, the one offered by smallpdf turned out to be the most efficient. It was the fastest and the most capable to squeeze my documents to a really small size. I have occasionally used it to unlock PDFs or convert them to docx. In each case, the results were impressive.

Cons

smallpdf is free indeed, but for some time past the number of free runs has been limited. Nevertheless, smallpdf is definitely worth trying!

### "Best pdf software ever"

June 26, 2018

5.0

What is not to love about SmallPDF? It is really fast, something that is usually a problem with pdf readers, it can be used to edit pdfs in many useful ways, it is truly amazing.

Pros

I absolutely love smallPDF, it has been a truly hidden gem for our business, is much faster than other pdf readers, and comes with so many useful tools that it becomes the only pdf software you need, it allows you to edit, compress, transform to other formats, split, mix, rotate, etc.

Cons

I have absolutely nothing I dislike about smallPDF, it is extremely wonderful and has been lifesaver in our company.
