### "The most reliable converter on the market, in my experience"

June 30, 2020

5.0

The degree of reliability and number of features made Smallpdf a pleasure to use and justify its price.

Pros

Outstanding value for money, very easy to use and most importantly, very reliable file conversion within no time.

Cons

Nothing to dislike with the tool. The (team) prices are high but justified but, nevertheless, I would highly appreciate a "pay per use" pricing.

### "'Smallpdf' does its job flawlessly and quickly."

September 5, 2022

4.0

Quicker and easy way of converting PDF to any format and vice versa by using this tool. Only problem is its limited number of usage per day for a single user. It provide quality result in less time compared to 'iLovePDF' but free limit per day makes me use other tools.

Pros

The usability of "smallpdf" has evolved over time. It is a simpler and faster method of converting PDFs. Any type of document can be converted to a PDF and vice versa. Best part is its output document's quality and if it is Adobe, they will charge a lot for this.

Cons

It allows batch processing only for its pro users. Another issue is the limited number of conversions per day per user in free mode. If you want to convert more files then you have to find another solution.

### "Multi-tool Online PDF Editing Platform"

February 22, 2023

5.0

Overall, Smallpdf is a great tool when I need to compress pdf, split pdf, merge pdf, or change the file type. There are several features to help me quickly edit my files.

Pros

I enjoy the ability to do all my pdf edits and file changes through one platform. It is quick and easy and all stored in one place.

Cons

There is a limit to how many documents you can edit for free.

### "Merge, split and rotate your pdf files with this online tool"

March 21, 2018

5.0

Pros

Finally I can do a lot of things in my PDF files easy and for free, just in four steps I can do what I need, I just have to select the file, upload, select the options to apply and in few minutes my file is ready to use, all this in about two or three minutes, with no publicity or watermarks.

Cons

I had some troubles working with heavy files because the app has trouble with files that exceed the 20 megas of content, so I have to compress the file first and later do the process.

### "Mi opinión sobre Smallpdf"

March 13, 2023

4.0

Muy buena. Si no se dispone de licencia para Adobe Acrobat PDF, sin duda alguna es la mejor opción.

Pros

La facilidad y comodidad de su aplicación. Es una web versátil que permite, de manera gratuita poder transformar documentos, editarlos e incluso firmar.

Cons

Aunque sus funcionalidades son esenciales y muy útiles, no está tan optimizado como podría ser Adobe Acrobat PDF, que sí te permite hacer las mismas cosas pero de manera más profesional y correcta. Smallpdf hay veces que no convierte bien del todo o que da algún tipo de error.

Switched from

[Adobe Acrobat](https://www.capterra.com/p/251329/Adobe-Acrobat-DC/)

Ya no disponía de la licencia de Adobe Acrobat, por lo que busqué una herramienta similar gratuita y di con SmallPDF, entre otras. Esta fue la más completa.

### "Valutazione SMALLPDF"

January 16, 2023

4.0

Nonostante abbia qualche problemino è molto utile, soprattutto per vari questionari o domande d'iscrizione che prevedono una compilazione. Trasformandolo in un documento editabile la compilazione è veloce ed ordinata.

Pros

La facilità d"uso e la velocità di compilazione mi consentono di avere un documento perfetto e ordinato

Cons

Alcune volte trasformando un file da PDF a WORD "sballa" le impostazioni del testo

March 23, 2023

4.0

User friendly and easy to use. Quick and efficient.

Pros

I have been using this product for a while now and been happy with it so far. We use it almost daily to convert and down size files in pdf. It is very useful when sending documents over emails and docusign.

Cons

It was okay to integrate the product within our company. We used customer service and all was good.

November 7, 2022

5.0

### "Extremely helpful product "

April 18, 2023

5.0

User friendly site makes it very useful for staff that is not knowledgeable about PDF documents.

Pros

User friendly! Multiple options to edit, merge and separate documents with this site. Drag and drop features have made my life easier.

Cons

None! 10/10 would and have recommended this site to colleagues and friends. If there is a con, I would say it is the about of documents you can edit per month on the free version.

### "Esperienza pessima"

March 3, 2023

3.0

Esperienza complessivamente pessima. Ho ripiegato di altri SW e tools.

Pros

Le funzionalità sono facili da utilizzare, ma risultano piuttosto deficitari rispetto ad altri software e tools che si trovano online e non. Esperienza positiva solo riguardo la conversione dei file.

Cons

La funzione di modifica del testo è tra le peggiori mai utilizzate. La formattazione non resta la stessa in fase di salvataggio del file.La funzione di modifica/aggiunta/rimozione delle pagine è appena sufficiente, non al livello di altri software e tools utilizzati.

### "The pdf solution you've been missing plus its web-based and freemium"

June 13, 2018

5.0

Quick , easy, flexible and freemium. If you are dealing with pdfs this is your solution.

Pros

SmalPdf is my secret weapon. No one in my office knows how to change file types - they ask me to do it, I go to Small pdf and in minutes it is done. It is very user-friendly, always faithful conversions. It is especially useful when you get an online pdf form that you are expected to print-fill in by hand-scan-send - nope, no one has time for that. Just turn it into a word doc with smallpdf, type your answers, save it as a pdf and email- done! They take so many file types - xcel,PPT, Word, Jpeg, you can merge, split - it can do anything. I have a good print to pdf program but still prefer to use this one

Cons

I do not have a paid account although if I needed to convert lots of files it would be totally worth it. The 2 doc per hour max works for me but not for others - I say, pay for it if it bugs you.

### "No way out"

January 17, 2020

3.0

I've used a lot when it used to have free features, but I couldn't trust this site anymore after noticing they won't leave a way out for users on free trial period. The "cancel anytime" thing is a lie.

Pros

The tools are great, actually. If they were not trying to get you arrested as their costumer forever, it would be really nice.

Cons

They say you can unsubscribe anytime, but that's not true. Once you're in the free trial period, you can never go out.

### "Great tool, but free version is very limited"

September 7, 2022

5.0

Great experience overall, easy to use and great design. The only downside would be its restrictive free version.

Pros

It's a super easy-to-use tool for all your PDF needs. You can merge files, convert files into PDF, or compress a PDF without compromising the quality in matter of seconds! It's user friendly, being able to do all with just dragging and dropping files. Finally, the visual identity is clean and appealing.

Cons

I love this tool, but they have recently become very restrictive in their free version - allowing only one file a day for free. I have since moved on to a free alternative for my PDF needs.
