### "Smallpdf is a great software product for converting documents "

March 3, 2022

5.0

Overall smallpdf looks reliable (in comparison with other free providers) and it works with any type of document you want to convert. Besides that you can easily use a lot of tools for designing your pdf the way you want it to be!

Pros

Smallpdf converst any document type that you want. The premium tools are more than usefull and the fact that it is free of charge is perfect for the way I use it.

Cons

Sometimes I had to convert a document twice because it would put it in the wrong file type by accident. After I made a comment on this complaint it was easily fixed.

Overall a good software, easy to use & understand and takes less of a space on your hard disk.

As a USER no CONS have been discovered except a FREE USER can have little more feautures to use which urge him to go for PRO mode!

### "Great File Editing Software"

May 5, 2020

5.0

Overall my experience with the software has been great - I mostly use it to reduce the file size of my PDFs.

Pros

Smallpdf is a fantastic, easy to use software. Working in design, my files tend to be incredibly large. Smallpdf allows me to do all sorts of manipulations to my files after just dragging and dropping onto their site.

Cons

It used to be free and you just didn't have as many options with the free version. Now you have to pay to use the software at all so I think that's not great - even SketchUp has a free version.

### "Smallpdf, big results. "

December 4, 2019

5.0

Great. I could not be more happy. I hope they release an app of this software.

Pros

Everything. I have been an Adobe user for most of my professional career but Smallpdf is about to change that. This small yet powerful tool packs a lot of punch.

Cons

I am not totally comfortable using this web based software. I have a lot of confidential documents that require delicate handling and uploading them to the web isn't really a good option.

Very useful tool to work with documents and pdf.

Pros

I can easily transform files from MS Word to pdf in only three steps, and no matter the content of the files, if I need to make a change I can do it diretly on the pdf without saving again the original file.

Cons

The edition option does not has so many tools, just the basic for edition, and to add some figures to the file, but you cannot edit text or tables with this app.

### "SmallPDF is amazing! No installing necessary"

October 31, 2019

5.0

Our marketing team uses SmallPDf to compress, edit, and manage Word/PDF sales decks without the need for graphic design programs like Adobe, etc. - It's easy enough to use that you don't need to be a graphic designer to carry out basic tasks.

Pros

SmallPDF is seriously amazing, given the fact everything runs through your browser, it's a really great lightweight alternative to Adobe Acrobat. It gives you basically everything Acrobat does, in an easy to use format. Simply upload your PDF, and you can convert, edit, compress and more. In our experience, the compression worked significantly better in a lossless format compared to desktop solutions like Acrobat DC.

Cons

When working with really large PDFs (100mb +), it can take a while to upload, and the web software seems to have a hard time handling the load. Larger and high resolution images can give SmallPDF some issues as well. In our experience, the PDF to Word conversion was not useful at all, since it often generated broken, distorted files.

Reason for choosing Smallpdf

SmallPDF is great as a simple solution for marketing teams, etc. that need to manipulate PDF files with no graphic program experience.

### "Amazing tool for managing documents"

September 28, 2021

5.0

Very happy to use Smallpdf, and I highly recommend this platform.

Pros

Smallpdf is a simple tool for managing any document on the fly. I used it a lot to convert documents and to combine multiple pdfs together. The platform is simple and easy to use. I like the file compression feature as it significantly reduces the size of the document.

Cons

I like using Smallpdf, but I am always skeptical about uploading documents with sensitive information. I hope they add additional security features in the future.

### "Great option for transform your documents and presentations"

February 27, 2018

5.0

Transform files into PDF very quickly and without restrictions of time and size.

Pros

This app work easily, in the first panel you select the kind of transformation that you need, for example Word to PDF, PP to PDF, JPEG to PDF, and son on, so later you just select the file, and very quickly the files is download in your computer in PDF version, all that steps must take no more than two minutes, and the quality of the files is very high and do not have any watermarks on it.

Cons

I think that they must offer must offer more formats for conversion, I still did not try, but I do not know what happen is a upload a file from Libreoffice for example which not have the same structure than a MS Office file, I think the app maybe not be able to transform in a correct way.

### "Amazing conversion app!"

December 5, 2019

5.0

This app saves me a lot of time when I have to convert files for large projects and that time saves my client money and keeps me employed.

Pros

I have to convert a lot of Power Points to PDF and SmallPDF not only does the conversion, it converts it right. Other ways of conversion sometimes messes with the format. I have not see the issue with SmallPDF. The batch feature is cool.

Cons

The batch feature IS cool, but a lot of the time at least one file will fail. But even with the failed files it is still faster than most other methods of converting.
