I use smallpdf whenever i need to convert document,from uploading to their website now they have their own software.

Pros

The user interface is not complex and suitable for all user.I use small pdf when i want to submit pdf document which converted from jpeg.The free use has limit of numbers on document that can be uploaded,therefore its definitely worth the subscription

Cons

Eventhough I like all the features provided by smallpdf,I do think that the price is slightly towards the higher ends.though,I do think for people who work with clients involving hardcopy needs to have this

Using smallpdf

Reviewed on 2023/09/05

the experience is still not very satisfying, but it's quite pleasant to use.

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.

It takes the headache out of working with PDFs. It's saved me countless hours by simplifying tasks that used to be tedious and time-consuming.

Pros

Smallpdf is my go-to for anything PDF-related. It's incredibly user-friendly, with a clean interface and tools that are easy to find. Whether I need to compress a large file, convert it to Word, or quickly add a signature, Smallpdf gets the job done quickly and efficiently.

Cons

The free version has some limitations, but the affordable Pro plan unlocks all the features I need.

A great online tool, fast and reliable, easy to use, covers all types of conversions and many tasks I can do in one place in the both free and paid version and is a quick and easy way to perform common PDF tasks

Pros

Cons

Works smoothly with small files, not with big files and here comes the problem change in speed appears it goes slower. Desktop App does not have the same features as the website

I use smallpdf a lot in my line of work and it is such a great site to visit when I need to merge documents or convert from one document to a different one. I will always recommend this software to people when they ask what I use.

Pros

I like that this software allows me to convert documents into different formats, merging multiple documents into one. It is super easy to use and I very much enjoy it for my line of work.

Cons

I do not like that you have to pay for a membership to use this software multiple times. I believe that this would be a great software that is free to use (or at least make it so that you can have a higher limit of uses in a single day).

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

Overall, we used smallpdf for years and typically in the easiest feature pdf merging. We still like it and use it on a daily basis.

Pros

Before we found Smallpdf we had a hard time getting all the PDFs together for the doctors to read. Now all we have to do is open smallpdf and drag and drop and we now only have to deal with one easy to read doc.

Cons

I'm not a big fan of the pricing. I know they have to make money and that most businesses can easily pay for such a service. But even if you do pay, you may not get all the features unless you pay more. Should be one flat rate fee for all the features and be done.

My overall experience has been positive. I use Smallpdf to sign legal documents and sometimes to edit pdfs. I find it is reliable, quick and affordable.

Pros

The pros of Smallpdf is that the app is available online and can be used quickly with a free trial or no login required. These are particularly useful if you need a quick solution to your signature of legal documents.

Cons

What I like the least about Smallpdf is that the free trial does not have enough features for email management. I would love a more easy-to-use way of sending emails with the edited documents.
