### "helpful with converting documents"

September 24, 2024

5.0

"Using this tool has significantly improved my work life. It allowed me to easily convert documents according to specific requirements and file sizes, which is crucial in my daily tasks. For instance, when attaching documents in Gmail, I often faced challenges ensuring the file formats or sizes met the requirements of the agency I was corresponding with. However, after I started using Smallpdf, those issues became a thing of the past. The platform seamlessly handled all my document conversion needs, ensuring compatibility and ease of use, saving me valuable time and reducing stress

Pros

was able to convert pdfs and documents based on my reference

Cons

the loading times for big files can take a lot of time

### "PDF edit platform"

November 19, 2024

4.0

We are using this to make changes and edit any kind of pdf related work. It is very simple and sorted product to use , all issues came only at the billing time.

Pros

1\. Easy to use and convert pdf in different format. 2. Don't require any proficiency and tools, simple upload and download and high-range editing options. 3. Supported in all browsers in all machines and safe to use as well.

Cons

1\. Pro version is expensive to buy and includes all the amazing features that are needed. 2. It won't work without buying a free trial and cancellation of that trial is extremely difficult and worse thing. 3. Take time in processing of documents.

### "pdf easier to use"

July 23, 2024

5.0

A long time ago I didn't like working with pdf files because they seemed difficult and complicated to work with, now I don't care if the file is in that format

Pros

All the functions it has to work with pdf are the necessary ones to be able to convert, compress and transform in a very fast and simple way, that is what I like the most, the ease that this platform has to provide the service without complications or long step by step. Before, doing these processes was difficult and time-consuming, now everything is easier

Cons

I have nothing that I don't like, I like everything, I love this application that made my work easier

### "Small in name, not in value"

August 30, 2024

5.0

Really positive, lovely website, which is easy to use and graphically appealing, plus reliable functionality for compressing/merging and manipulating PDFs.

Pros

Mega resource, used this so many times to compress, merge and/or edit PDF's. Been a real lifeline at times, when software licenses haven't been available but an urgent amend is needed. Image conversion is also really handy, all in a cracking site with hugely useful free features.

Cons

Very little, only real drawback is the limit on how many free operations you can carry out per day. I'd seriously consider paying for a subscription over Adobe Acrobat Pro.

### "Scam Payment Charge and No Refunds"

September 12, 2024

1.0

Awful and disgusting, would never recommend anyone

Pros

I did not like anything, its a scam and people should avoid it.

Cons

I tried using smallpdf and did not intend to buy a one-year subscription. They had something hidden in terms and conditions, and I accepted them. I asked the support, telling them I was not using the tool. And I want a refund for the remaining period, but all they reply is this: 'I can confirm that we won't be moving forward with your refund request. Our policies are in place to ensure fairness and consistency for all of our customers and accepting the Terms and Conditions is a mandatory step for any type of account creation.' The businesses are here to support the customers and help them even if they are on mistake. But smallpdf has given me really bad experience by charging me $150cad for the service that I don't use. I will suggest other guys to use alternatives of smallpdf without hidden agreements for payments.

### "Quick and Simple PDF Management"

November 16, 2024

4.0

Overall, SmallPDF was a handy tool for managing PDF documents. It was fast, straightforward, and great for occasional use, though heavy users might need to look at premium options. For a free service, I preferred ILOVEPDF

Pros

What I liked about SmallPDF was its simplicity and efficiency. It handled tasks like compressing, merging, or converting PDFs quickly, saving a lot of time when managing documents.

Cons

One thing I didn’t like about SmallPDF was the limitations on free usage. Having to upgrade for more frequent use or advanced features could be a bit restrictive.
