### "Do a lot of thing in your PDF files with this tool"

February 28, 2018

5.0

Pros

SmallPDF brings the possibility of convert, compress, edit, merge, split, and so many other features in your PDF files, the process is very easy, select the option that you want apply, select the file and in a less than a minute (depending of the speed of your connection) the file will be available for you. The process is fast and the instructions are very easy to understand.

Cons

Some option are shor of feature, for example in the edition feature you can only edit some specific topics like text and images, but you cannot edit tables for example, I think they must app more option in some topics.

### "User friendly pdf main focus"

November 28, 2023

5.0

great and would not use adobe again because it's not the standard

Pros

It has a singular focus with such detail and ease to a PDF itself. Easy to store documents, digitally sign them and organize them

Cons

Its free with not so many cool features and with them they're 10 bucks a month fort pdfs and even though I like them better than adobe not more expensive then my delivery

Alternatives considered

[Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/)[Microsoft Word](https://www.capterra.com/p/227146/Microsoft-Word/)

Reason for choosing Smallpdf

### "Join and sign PDF files for free"

February 28, 2018

5.0

Great software to join and sign PDF files.

Pros

This tool allows to do easily a process that in the past it was so difficult to do, join a PDF was an annoying thing to do but with SmallPDF you only have to add the files, select the pages of start and finish and in few seconds you will your PDF download in your computer. You can also sing you PDF files with your own mark to make a personalize document, the process is easy as the join of a document.

Cons

I have to have internte connection to work with, so I think that they must offer a downloable version to use it directly in the computer or smartphone.

### "Incredibly Easy to Use"

December 3, 2019

5.0

Our clients appreciate communication in a timely manner and being able to use Smallpdf has improved our workflow. Overall, I would definitely recommend using Smallpdf to any small business who requires acceptance/customization/return of important documents.

Pros

Smallpdf has made my document customization incredibly easy. I'm able to upload documents in all different forms and create new documents in different formats. It's incredible easy to use, navigate, and customize. The format of the site is also very user-friendly.

Cons

I have yet to find a feature of Smallpdf that I have not appreciated. It's incredibly easy to navigate and I have used this software several times to create new documents for my wedding clients.

### "SmallPDF"

May 13, 2021

4.0

It started out okay but with a quick google search there are other software products that do what it cannot do.

Pros

It was very useful in the beginning when we first got this software. After doing a little more research I found other alternatives but we still have our account.

Cons

To make even a small change was a hassle. For example, everything had to be uploaded in the correct order.

### "Easy way to edit pdfs"

May 31, 2023

5.0

It's the best way for me to edit pdfs. I've mainly used it to add comments, to shrink a pdf's file size, and split up a many-paged document into smaller documents

Pros

It's very easy to use, and allows me to do everything I need to do with a PDF. I haven't found a better alternative to using this software

Cons

I understand that the company need to remain viable, but this software did used to be free, and now it's not. Also, there aren't many options for writing on a pdf.

### "Smallpdf"

September 24, 2020

5.0

We are all happy with our experience using Smallpdf, and would recommend it to anyone.

Pros

This is such a great product to easily condense large files. We have to store tons of files and we have a limit on the file sizes, so we have to use this product frequently.

Cons

There are honestly no negatives to using this software, it is so simple to upload/download the files we need to condense.

### "Easy Converter for PDF's"

August 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

It does everything Adobe Reader can't do. Comes in handy when you need to convert/edit PDF files at the last minute.

Cons

When editing files, you have to create a text box to write anything. Also, the "Unlock PDF" tool doesn't actually unlock anything.

### "I am happy only using the free plan, but I would pay just because I love SmallPDF so much."

June 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's easy to use and can pretty much do anything you want when it comes to document manipulation. Their chrome extensions is fantastic too!

Cons

The document hourly limits, but like I said, I would happily pay for this service. Really aren't any cons!

### "Ok mais ... ça existe en version gratuite..."

November 27, 2023

5.0

Je ne perçois pas l'intérêt de perdre de l'argent du budget de l'équipe sur un outil qui finalement est, certes bien, mais totalement remplaçable en faisant une simple recherche internet...

Pros

Complet, plus besoin de passer par internet quand tout est déjà installer pour le salarié. C'est clair, sans pub et propre.

Cons

C'est payant et il existe bien d'autre site proposant tous ces services gratuitement...

### "The Best PDF Editor Woohoo!!"

August 30, 2023

5.0

Pros

We generate and use lots of PDFs in our schools and we ended up using the free tools of Smallpdf for the text change, image change and trimming of the pdfs. This is the best free tool to work with your PDFs. I will surely consider buying the full version if we require all the features.

Cons

Some of the features are underpaid versions but I understand that it is not possible to provide everything for free. What cons can it have when it is already of great use for everyone.
