### "Melhor ferramenta"

February 13, 2023

5.0

Depois que conheci o Smallpdf, me ajudou muito no meu trabalho e os meus arquivos ficaram ainda mais organizados, além disso é mito fácil de usar!

Pros

O recurso que mais uso é juntar os PDF's, antes de conhecer o Smallpdf eu sofria para juntar as páginas do meu documento em apenas um arquivo. E depois de juntar os pdfs ficava muito pesado, foi então que comecei a usar a ferramenta para cumprimir o arquivo, assim fica muito mais fácil de enviar.

Cons

muitas ferramentas para usar, nada que eu não goste.

### "Outil gratuit pour convertir, compresser, fusionner des documents PDF"

February 28, 2023

4.0

Pros

Smallpdf me permet d'utiliser une large gamme d'outils pour travailler avec des fichiers PDF, notamment la conversion, la compression, la fusion, la division. Le fait qu'il soit accessible à partir de n'importe quel navigateur web et ne nécessite pas de téléchargement ni d'installation de logiciel est un réel atout.

Cons

Je n'ai pas rencontré de problème avec cet outil pour le moment.

### "The PDF editor that I need"

March 8, 2018

5.0

Make changes on my PDF files in so many ways.

Pros

I can do a lot of things with SmallPDF, I can edit, merge, transform from multiple formats, split, rotate, and so on, all this only selecting the document, later the option that I want apply and in few seconds my file will be ready for download, this is one of the most complete apps to work with PDF files.

Cons

I cannot use it without internet connection, and that is a bad thing, because I do not have internet acces all day, so I have to wait to be in my job to do changes on my PDF files with SmallPDF.

### "Easy to use and fast"

May 4, 2023

5.0

Pros

Smallpdf is a great tool to any kind of adjustment you have to make to a pdf document. It could be signing, merging or editing. Anything can be done easily and fast. Just upload the file and make the changes with a few clicks.

Cons

You only have a few free usages available, before having to upgrade to the pro version. If you need pdf merging or editing regularly its definitely worth it, but have to consider.

### "For those time sensitive files"

November 10, 2022

5.0

Pros

I have always kept this software in my back pocket since I first heard of this website from a former coworker several years ago. It is easily accessible and perfect for quick/small projects. This software is truly beneficial for remote workers and organizations. It's especially necessary for those moments where a document needs a quick file conversion or an e-signature added, which saves time/money on using at home printers/scanners. Also, their safety clause means all documents are 100% confidential and personal/company data is kept safe.

Cons

I really wish there was a user option in their view & edit section for an add/edit text box to add text to documents.

### "Great to reduce the PDF size without loosing quality"

June 11, 2021

5.0

It does the job without issues, since we only use it from time to time and not on a daily basis the free version works perfect for us.

Pros

It is really a great tool to reduce the size of your file without compromising quality. Very useful when you need to attach files or upload them online. You can also convert other files to PDF or merge to files in one. There is a free limited version.

Cons

For it's basic use there are no issues, but if you require to convert a PDF file to Word in other language different than English some word might be changed. It might be pricey if you required the paid version.

### "Information to everybody "

December 30, 2022

5.0

I love the fact that it's an app and that I can have it at all times. The part of being able to sign all kinds of documents is super useful.

Pros

In a world full of digital files, it makes your life easier to find a tool that helps you edit pdfs, allows you to unify several in a single file, or lets you edit and write on top of it to take notes. It really makes your life easier and I see it as necessary if you dedicate yourself to the digital world

Cons

If you dedicate yourself to working with different documents online every day, you need it. If you are not going to use it often, it may not be so cheap for you

### "Transform documents, tables, presentations and images in PDF files"

February 28, 2018

5.0

Great option for transform files in PDF format.

Pros

The tools is very friendly, because in three or four steps you can easily convert the files, the functioning is very smooth and quickly, and allows the most commond files of MS Office. For me it is wonderful because I do not need to download any software to do this and the use is very simple.

Cons

I have a little worry about the security, I do not know if they save a copy of my files for the registration and process and what can be the use of it, but I believe in the policy of confidence.

### "Great tool for editing PDF files"

October 9, 2020

4.0

I use Smallpdf for pdf editing, specially to add some notes and marks. This helps in understanding and marking special quotes of the document.

Pros

You can add text, shaped figures, drawings and marks into your pdf, which facilitates understanding and studying.

Cons

Few options for shape figures and text fonts. Also could have more types of color.

### "Small pdf muita versatilidade e qualidade para pdfs"

January 15, 2024

5.0

O smallpdf é um programa intuitivo e fácil acessar, entrega resultados fantásticos. Estou muito contente em poder contar com esse programa.

Pros

O small pdf entrega muita qualidade ao manusear arquivos em pdf, todos as funções são primordiais para os usuários, mas a função que mais utilizo e gosto é a compactação de pdfs, muitas vezes pego contratos grandes difíceis de enviar, mas com o smallpdf consigo reduzir o tamanho desses arquivos e enviar tranquilamente.

Cons

O smallpdf é muito completo, mas acredito que na versão gratuita poderiamos ter amostras de uma compressão mais densa.

### "Basic PDF functions"

November 26, 2023

5.0

Pros

I used the free trial version of Smallpdf for simple file conversions (converting word docs and other files to PDFs, merging PDFs into one file, reordering and breaking up pages, etc.) that would have otherwise required a paid Adobe account.

Cons

I don't have any reason to worry about the data safety of files uploaded to Smallpdf, but I do play it safe and not upload sensitive or personal information. I also only used the free trial version which served me well. If you handle a large volume of documents, you may have to use a paid account although I would not be interested in paying for such simple services such as file management.

### "Great PDF compressor that doesn't compromise quality"

June 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

Its super simple to use, you just upload your PDF and it compresses it sometimes up to a 90% of the original size, and does not compromise quality

Cons

I think its a little overpriced (the paid option) but there is a free version, if you are only compressing 1 or 2 files a day or a week its great, but if you need that constantly , the pro version is the way to go.

### "I love working with Small PDF"

May 16, 2018

5.0

I really recommend Small PDF, it is such a complete online software, it really works wonders when editing PDFs like almost no other software do.

Pros

Small PDF is a great online PDF software that you can use for several options which include file conversion to and from powerpoint, word, excel, jpeg among other formats, and reworking your pdfs wether it is by mixing a bunch of pdf documents or splitting them for only keeping a small portion of it.

Cons

What I don't love about Small PDF is the fact that it works online, so you need a good internet connection for working with large files.

### "A classic to PDF work"

February 11, 2023

5.0

There is one very useful thing about this program and it is being able to convert pdf files to word or other formats. It allows you to be able to work on the documents that come to you in pdf and that these are not "closed" files

Pros

It is a very complete program to work in all PDF formats. A classic that has been around for many years and is updated more and more. All the tools you need to work with your digital documents in PDF: compress, edit, sign, link..

Cons

to say something, it would be that I miss being able to work PNG

October 12, 2020

5.0

Overall smallpdf has made any opportunity to manage PDFs super easy and fast.

Pros

I love how easy it is to select specific pages from the PDF to extract them and then merge together. IT's super easy to use the splitter tool.

Cons

Nothing-the UI is great and extremely understandable for what your different PDF need is. There is a limit for how many times a free user can use it.
