Es la solución a la gestión de todos nuestros documentos. Conocer y usar esta aplicación ha sido la mejor alternativa ( frente a las opciones que Adobe ofrece y que son de mayor costo) con funciones y herramientas de gran performance que iguala y hasta supera a otras aplicaciones similares.

SEO Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Using smallpdf" September 5, 2023 2.0 the experience is still not very satisfying, but it's quite pleasant to use. Pros smallpdf is still very practical for working with pdf files. The application has a wide range of functions, from converting pdf files into several formats, merging several pdf files into one and, above all, compressing files to reduce size. Cons smallpdf is very limited in free mode, although it should be pointed out that the free version is still very useful. it gives you the number of files you can process in a day and even the size you want. apart from that, smallpdf requires more internet, so offline use is difficult, and last but not least, there's the problem of data confidentiality for some users.

Compressing large PDF files is crucial today in a post pandemic and highly connected world. Optimizing the internet connection bandwidth through reducing our document's files is the best way to save time, size, and storage capacity. Pros It offers exactly what I need in terms of file compression and ability to share them on internet. The quality is preserved and the documents are smoothly shared without having to worry about the large PDF sized preventing the sending by email or the conditional uploading to a size limit.

Pros On the plus side, this software is still free for light users, as they offer up to two files for free every day. Though it has almost every feature you need in such software, from merging PDF to deleting a page from a PDF, it is free. Which will be a blessing for students or low incomes. Cons They have one flaw to mention is that they still didn't include a digital signature in their features, not even in their paid version. Reason for choosing Smallpdf Small PDF is relatively cheap or free for light use where others are expensive or not offering all features. Review Source Ashish K.

I used it on weekly basis to complete my work with a little time. The best part of this tool is the templates which savemy lots of time to design. Pros I liked small pdf due to their simple and easy-to-understand user interface. Functionalities are categorized better way as compared to other similar tools which do not create confusion for me as a user of small pdf. Pricing is excellent for countries like India. The best part I liked about small pdf is the template's of invoices, bills, etc. Cons In small pdf, some of the functionality is missing pdf reader like reading mode, search for a keyword in the pdf reader, and commenting option. Customer service should be improved. If it has integration features like google drive, and GitHub it is easier and time-saving to do the work. Switched from [iLovePDF](https://www.capterra.com/p/173963/iLovePDF/) I did not like their pdf editing tool due to much complex functionality for a user. Review Source EB Emanuel B.

One of the main points is its ease of use. In addition to having several tools, which often does not require the use of other programs. Pros I really like the tools that Smallpdf makes available, they are very useful in my daily life. In addition to being very easy and practical. Cons Free version should allow more functionality. I understand that the program needs to charge, but there are many people who use these tools and are unable to pay, so this would help a lot. Review Source Talib J.

It's so easy to use that the rest of my team also use this tool on a daily basis Pros The pricing of this software makes it incredibly attractive. The low cost means that we can have unlimited usage of something that me and my team use every single day is highly critical to our work Cons There is not much to like apart from the fact that some documents are sometimes not recognised by the software tool but this happens very infrequently and has little no impact on my job Reason for choosing Smallpdf Mainly the pricing and ease of usage. The tool is very quick to convert files and the incredibly low cost made it so attractive that we just decided to go with this one instead. We were considering multiple other tools.

Molto soddisfatta di questo software che mi era stato consigliato da una collega, e di cui ho potuto fin da subito apprezzarne le qualità.

Pochi clic e molti documenti si possono convertire, i pdf si possono tagliare, estrapolare e unire, oppure convertire. O ancora firmare digitalmente. Cons Al momento né io, né il mio team abbiamo riscontrato delle criticità, quindi per noi che lo usiamo ormai da anni, SmallPDF si conferma un software fondamentale nell'ambito della comunicazione e della relazione pubblica.

Document creation, split, merge, page numbering are done at ease5. Image to PDF is a noteworthy feature6. Scan PDFs and edit effectively Cons PDF edit option is not so comprehensive. Though Digital Signature and Security are inbuilt in this tool there is a lot of skepticism and thinking going on before using it for documents that has some sensitive information. Company is now addressing this issue and providing some confidence. Other than that this is a good tool at this less expensive pricing. Review Source CW Ceon W. Field analyst Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A very effective software that calls for user efficieny." June 26, 2022 3.0 The software got the job done but it is very time-consuming and calls for a lot of user efficiency since mistakes often meant that the editing process had to be restarted. Pros The ease of access, the reliability, and the effectiveness of the software is what makes it manageable for day-to-day users. Cons The software does not perform well on low bandwidth speeds and the absence of different fonts and background colors in the text editing area makes the app less versatile.

December 24, 2023 5.0 Smallpdf me ha acompañado desde los estudios universitarios y hasta mi experiencia laboral en la que creo, edito y convierto documentos y PDFs de manera satisfactoria, eficiente y premium.

Pros Its biggest plus is undoubtedly the amount of functionality it can offer: it can compress, convert from different formats (pdf, jpg, pptx, in short really many formats), it can merge, split or export single pages. All these functions are just a click away, with a simple and fresh interface. Cons When your files are too heavy it becomes chargeable. The price is not expensive, however usually when you use it you need to get things done quickly and finding the banner for payment is not the best.

Cons Converting file, cause i do't always use that Review Source TC Tara C. Researcher's Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Trusted and reliable based PDF software " February 3, 2023 5.0 Smallpdf solves several business problems, including document editing, conversion, compression, eSignatures, and PDF security. Smallpdf allows businesses to speed up their workflow and ensure the accuracy of their work. The benefits companies have realized through the use of Smallpdf include faster document processing, improved security, and lower costs associated with document storage and printing. Pros Features that are most impactful in smallpdf include users can easily convert, compress, merge, unlock, sign, and protect PDF files from within the platform, Editing Tools, Security, and Collaboration Tools. The product is straightforward and user-friendly to use. The platform is also very intuitive and requires minimal technical knowledge to get the hang of it. Integration with existing business processes is straightforward, and the platform makes it easy to connect with other services. Cons One feature missing from SmallPDF is the ability to add watermarks to PDFs. The ability to combine multiple PDF documents into a single document could be improved by adding a drag-and-drop feature for more intuitive file organization. The user interface can be a bit clunky and difficult to navigate, making it difficult for new users to get accustomed to the product. Integration with existing business processes can be tricky as SmallPDF does not directly integrate with many popular business applications. However, it does offer integration with services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box. Review Source PM Pujitha M.

Review Source GP Giuseppe P. Fisioterapista Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Intuitivo, rapido, sempre pronto nelle urgenze" November 3, 2023 5.0 Decisamente buona. È un sito che continuo ad utilizzare da anni ormai, sempre pronto lì, rapido, intuitivo, accessibile. Pros La facilità di utilizzo. Il sito web è sempre lì pronto quando convertire ed editare qualcosa online e non hai tempo né modo di scaricare ed installare programmi come nel mio caso, in cui uso pc aziendale. Le funzionalità sono quasi tutte di rapida comprensione ed accessibilità. Penso che chiunque dovrebbe utilizzare questo sito. Ha salvato la vita molte volte a tanti di noi che utilizzano il pc per lavoro/mail/produttività Cons Penso sia necessario dare l’opportunità al cliente anche di poter preventivamente rinominare il file una volta convertito/editato prima di poterlo utilizzare. Molte volte mi è capitato di editare diversi documenti con questo sito e di ritrovarmi file con tutti nomi simili. Questo rende scocciante la ricerca. Occorre aprire ogni file per visionarne il contenuto. Questo inconveniente sarebbe superato se si potesse preliminarmente rinominare il nome del file.

Pros La funzione che utilizzo di più è quella di compressione dei pdf, ma tutto il set di funzionalità offerte da smallpdf è utile nella quotidianità. Ogni attività o azienda ha necessità di produrre documentazione e apprezzo particolarmente l'utilità di avere tutte le funzioni di cui necessito in un unica piattaforma.
