### "Easy convert"

September 6, 2019

5.0

Convertign documents from and into different formats, e-signing, recognising images... very useful

Pros

It's very easy to use. Intuitive, all the options displayed at a glance. Converts into WORD format any document you need.

Cons

I haven't found anything important yet. Maybe, sometimes there are image files, quite difficult to convert into editable documents.

### "A useful tool when you need to edit/modify/digital signature"

October 28, 2022

5.0

Pros

I use it frequently and with total ease that makes my work simpler!

Cons

I used the desktop application, and I had moments when it got stuck. It probably needs to be improved in terms of performance.

### "Quick, easy, online, and necessary"

December 30, 2021

4.0

Pros

SmallPDF it's a really easy-to-use app. For me, the most important is that you don't need to download anything, and you can use it even on you smartphone browser. I'm a designer, so I live dealing with PDF files, on my computer and smartphone. Sometimes, when I forgot something, or need to edit it fast, I prefer doing it in Small PDF, instead to open the whole Illustrator document that slows my weak computer.

Cons

Since I started using it I didn't find any cons.

### "Boosting your PDF game"

July 25, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love SMALL PDF! It's such a powerful solution to manage, edit and interact with any PDF file — they cover anything from compression and splitting single pages into multiple PDF, to file format conversion. All of it using a nicely designed and intuitive interface

Cons

I have to say I struggle to find anything wrong with this app, it's really good

### "A solid platform for the ones working with PDF files"

August 29, 2020

5.0

It's very cost effective and easy to use specially for converting small files. It has been very helpful for me to create graphs and report that are needed to be shared.

Pros

It makes converting to PDF pretty easy and I would say compare to similar software is relativity cheaper.

Cons

Not anything in particular needs to be improve. Sometimes when you work with large files it becomes slow

### "I love Smallpdf!"

May 31, 2020

5.0

I have been using it for years and it is one of my favorite softwares of all time! Thank you Smallpdf team!

Pros

I use Smallpdf on weekly basis to compress and cut PDF files. The software is fast and precise, easy to use and free. I can't ask anything more!

Cons

Nothing I can think of. Since they added the Chrome extension, they offering is complete. You can do anything you can think of with PDF for free. A value proposition that you can't beat!

### "Mon avis"

March 3, 2022

1.0

Je trouve que l’équipe Small Pdf Pro devrait nous aviser dès que l’essai gratuit prend fin. Mais au lieu de ça, ils prélèvent directement sur notre carte bancaire. Je n’ai utilisé votre logiciel que très peu de fois voire 4 fois. Je demanderai juste qu’on me renvoie mon argent car l’abonnement ne me servirait à rien du tout.

Pros

Vous pouvez convertir n’importe quel document

Cons

Payante par obligation et peu de documents à convertir pour l’essai gratuit.

### "Very useful "

August 26, 2019

5.0

My experience has been great. So much that I want us to become one of my favorite work tools.

Pros

What I like the most is the amount of options you have to convert a PDF document to another format and vice versa. And that you have the opportunity to try the tool for 14 days.

Cons

I honestly don't think it has anything negative. I think it's great and I'm willing to pay for the tool to use it frequently

### "Super easy to use, wish it could upload a little fast sometimes"

March 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

I use small pdf because we scan cdocuments into a system that redacts info automatically, which makes my pdf file much larger than it should be to email to our exec director. Small pdf is easy to use! I just upload the files and it makes it so I can email the files out with ease.

Cons

If the file is fairly large, it can take over an hour to compress, which also slows down the wifi for everyone else in the office.

### "Straightforward and easy way to convert PDF files"

May 18, 2018

5.0

PDF conversion made easy!

Pros

Smallpdf is a super easy and straightforward way to convert PDF files to (and fro) various file types. The service is free, which is great, and the site is super clean and easy to navigate. The ability to merge is a plus as well.

Cons

It would be great if Smallpdf provided a way to add security to PDF instead of just removing security.

### "Convert a document to pdf....no problem "

January 20, 2020

5.0

Iam a student and often I need to write and send my documents to my university, but the document should be in PDF format. So Smallpdf is the best solution for it. I recommend it to everybody.

Pros

The Website is really easy to use, it really does its job, I don't want to pay Microsoft Office for the option for converting docx to pdf, and I found this solution, I use the website every week and never had any issue.

Cons

Sometimes it takes too long time to convert a document.

Switched from

[Microsoft 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/227157/Microsoft-365/)

I did switch from Office 365 because option to convert documents costs.

I use this software when I have to convert my student's report documents into PDF format. Working with this software is quite easy because it has so many options to convert documents into another formats. It is also easy to download the converted files and store them in my laptop.

Wonderful software to quickly unlock, edit, or convert a document in order to make changes.

Some features are paid only that require you to use Adobe instead.
