### "Smallpdf is a Convenient Tool"

July 15, 2024

5.0

Pros

I like the most about Smallpdf is that it allows me to manage my documents. I usually get Microsoft Word and PDF documents that I need to fill out and sign. I don't have a printer or a scanner, so being able to fill out the forms and sign them digitally is helpful. I like that I can convert Microsoft Word documents into PDF files.

Cons

It is just a free trial to use Smallpdf.

### "Small PDF is the best"

June 17, 2024

5.0

its exceptional and affordable. It a must use, as its really easy to use.

Pros

the ease with importing files and converting easily and quickly. when other app charge for even the first convert to pdf smallpdf don't charge any fee its free, amazing.

Cons

so far i haven’t see any cons at all with small pdf, the thing i will say is it doesn't retain any document after first converting, it always clears it up for another work.

### "Most Used During Online Classes"

June 1, 2024

5.0

It is truly reliable and one of the softwares I am so confident in using because it is straight forward and so easy to use, I don't need to be tech-savvy because it is no as complicated as others. They offer a lot of features that you never thought you could possibly but grateful when realized that it has been there all along, because you now need it!

Pros

I appreciate all the features it can offer because all that you could possibly need to edit a PDF is already there. I've been using the merge and extract pages most of the time since I always find the need to rearrange or reorder documents.

Cons

I've been using it for years because of online classes and since then, I honestly have never encountered any problems. Smallpdf really offers nothing but convenience especially for college students!

### "Quicker than Adobe Acrobat"

May 31, 2024

5.0

Overall, it's really great. It's simple and saves a lot of time.

Pros

I really like to use Smallpdf when I want to make a quick change without opening up a large app like Acrobat. I think the merge pdf feature is really simple as you just drag and drop.

Cons

Editing the PDF might take a few goes as it might lay things out a bit differently.

May 13, 2024

5.0

Pros

There are multiple things that you can do with the free version. It is pretty awesome. We convert multiple pdf's into one single one consistently, and it's easy to do!

Cons

The face of the website looks a little sketchy, I don't find it eye-appealing but it does work!

### "Creare facilmente"

May 5, 2024

5.0

Decisamente positiva, facile l'installazione, estremamente intuitiva l'interfaccia: utile l'impiego della IA che rende più rapido il lavoro

Pros

Smallpdf mi ha dato la possibilità di creare dei lavori partendo da materiali diversi e di organizzarli adeguatamente in pdf .Viceversa ho potuto crearne altri, specie presentazioni convertendo vari file nel formato più utile.

Cons

Il costo, lavorando con diversi programmi sarei costretta a sostenere più abbonamenti a vari software cosa, per me, non economicamente sostenibile e, quindi cerco di utilizzarne di gratuiti.

5.0

### "It's worth a try, useful"

May 6, 2024

5.0

Pros

Even the free version is useful for urgent work. Usually there are urgent tasks where I need to reduce the size of a document, so it has become an application that I enjoy using.

Cons

It needs to stand out among its competitors. It is easy to use, it always ranks high in ads, but if I am on another site at that moment and it can handle my job, I am not necessarily looking for this Smallpdf. Binding, sustainable policies can be produced. So I mean this. For example, when I need to translate a document or image, I should think of typing Smallpdf instead of typing "Jpeg to PDF". Of course, this is not a negative situation for me, but it is for Smallpdf.

Sometimes I use IlovePdf. I use it when it's more accessible, when it's higher up in the ads, or when I can't get the results I want with Smallpdf.

### "Quick fixes if you dont want to slow down"

May 14, 2024

5.0

Pros

I like how easy it is to remove or rearrange pages. I also appreciate how you can split a very large attachment into 2 separate ones.

Cons

Its nothing to big because I understand the meaning of a subscription but the only con to me is that I can only do it twice then I have to wait to split or merge other attachments.

### "Avaliação SmallPdf"

July 15, 2023

5.0

No geral, minha experiência com o Smallpdf tem sido positiva. Ele me ajudou muito em diversas situações em que precisei converter ou compactar arquivos, tornando o processo rápido e eficiente. Apesar das limitações em certas funcionalidades, acredito que o Smallpdf é uma ferramenta bastante útil para lidar com documentos digitais.

Pros

O que eu mais gostei no Smallpdf foi a facilidade de uso. É incrivelmente simples converter documentos de um formato para outro, seja PDF para Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ou vice-versa. Além disso, o site é intuitivo e possui uma interface limpa e agradável

Cons

O que eu menos gostei no Smallpdf é que algumas funcionalidades são pagas. Por exemplo, a edição de PDFs é restrita para usuários premium, o que pode ser frustrante se você precisar fazer pequenas alterações em um documento sem a necessidade de adquirir uma assinatura.

### "SmallPDF as an online PDF viewer/editor"

May 4, 2023

5.0

SmallPDF is my go-to software for quickly viewing, editing, converting and merging PDFs!

Pros

SmallPDF is a small online PDF viewer/editor but offers the same capacity as many big name PDF viewers. Across all platforms, it is quick, little to no lag, and offers quick uploading for PDF conversion and merging.

Cons

SmallPDF can only convert and merge PDF files to a specified size for their free option. However, many of my use-cases in academia have barely went above their file limitation.

### "Smallpdf: o melhor serviço de edição de arquivos já inventado"

May 11, 2023

5.0

Já usei alguns serviços de edição de arquivos, principalmente edição de PDF, mas a maioria distorcia o documento ou mudava alguma formatação e ao invés de facilitar a nossa vida acabava dando mais trabalho. Depois que começei a usar o Smallpdf não tive mais esses problemas, além de oferecerem várias opões de se tratar um documento. Essa ferramenta foi um grande facilitador dos trabalhos administrativos no meu escritório.

Pros

O Smallpdf é uma ferramenta muito boa de edição de arquivos que facilita demais o tratamento de alguns documentos. Dentro do site você pode encontrar várias opções de edições disponíveis que atenderam todas as necessidades que tive.

Cons

Única coisa que poderia ser melhorada ao meu ver é facilitar um pouco mais o entendimento de todas as funções que são disponibilizadas no site. As vezes sinto dificuldades de manusear alguma ferramenta.

### "Evaluación de Desempeño para Amplio Uso Habitual"

July 18, 2023

4.0

A pesar de los pocos inconvenientes mencionados, se considera que son detalles mínimos y prescindibles en comparación con la gran calidad y versatilidad de las funcionalidades ofrecidas, por lo que es de gran utilidad y calidad.

Pros

Principalmente, lo amigable y lo intuitivo de la interfaz, así como el poder del mismo para desempeñar velozmente tareas fáciles como otras más complejas de forma simplificada.

Cons

Naturalmente, los limitantes de la versión gratuita y la falta natural del total de fuentes para la adición, así como los inconvenientes ante firmas digitales de mala iluminación. Sería de gran ayuda trabajar más el análisis de la carga de imágenes para firmas digitales con gradientes luminosos debido a que presenta gran diferencia al digitalizar la misma.

Reason for choosing Smallpdf

Debido a su interfaz amigable e intuitiva.

Overall, the platform's commitment to data security and encryption gave me confidence in uploading and sharing sensitive documents.

Pros

I liked how the converted files keep their original quality.

Cons

I couldn't afford it since I was broke, but when I get more money, I'll buy a plan that would meet my needs.

### "Smallpdf critique "

May 10, 2023

5.0

Pros

J'ai utilisé SmallPDF pendant plusieurs d'années et plusieurs reprises lors de mes recherches, notamment dans le cadre de mon projet de fin d'études. Ce qui distingue SmallPDF est sa facilité d'utilisation sa rapidité pendant la conversion Word /PDF ou les 'autres format, la fusion de plusieurs pdf et pendant le téléchargement malgré que j'ai utilisé la version gratuit j'ai trouvé très efficaces para port d'autre logiciels payants.Je redemande tous les chercheurs, les étudiants ... à utiliser SmallPdf

Cons

Les inconvénients de Smallpdf d'après mon expérience sont trois inconvénients:- La limite de documents convertis par jour, on a le droit à deux documents à convertir par jour uniquement, - Pendant la fusion de plusieurs documents il y a des décalages sure les pages - Pendant la conversion PDF/Word il y a des fautes il faut vérifier avant l'utilisation

### "Smallpdf una herramienta necesaria tanto para estudiantes como docentes"

May 28, 2023

4.0

Pude convertir a tiempo mis archivos de investigación ya que en la mayoría de plataformas estudiantiles es obligatorio entregarlo en pdf.

Pros

Me ha permitido convertir archivos de formato de word e inclusive formato de imágenes a pdf y de esa forma puedo acumular archivos crear mi propio compilado de lecturas o de fotos de mi preferencia.

Cons

Es un software que a veces no permite ciertas herramientas sino tienes acceso a la versión premium. Una de ellas es el número de conversiones y el tamaño de archivo que quieras convertir.

### "Review for Smallpdf"

September 15, 2022

4.0

Pros

Very nice online application that does things like split pdf to office formats, split pdf documents, merge pdf files, convert image files to pdf, crack password (remove password). If you want, it saves the file to dropbox or google drive. I've been using it lately. I dealt with a few sites and programs that said before, that they would translate the first three pages, and that they could not translate it in a ridiculously long time. But this is really nice. At the same time, pdf documents are signed electronically, as well as allowing you to do a thousand and one transactions.

Cons

Application where the desktop version is even more useful than the site. I think its price is more expensive than other similar products. The lack of OCR support is also a shortcoming.
