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

It allows you to work directly on the PDF file, reducing time and helping to make the work easier

Pros

Previously editing a PDF was almost impossible or you had to do it through many tools that allowed it, with Smallpdf that is a thing of the past for me because it has allowed me to work with PDF files much more easily and edit it when I need to very quickly. Not only does it have the tool to edit it, I can also convert it to another format or reduce the size when it is too large.

Cons

I have no problems now or in the past with Smallpdf, always in perfect use

Forget Adobe! Use this for your PDF Needs!

Reviewed on 1/4/2024

Pros

Easy to use, so many features. I mainly used it to work with PDFs. Adobe (the free version) has its limitations to edit and sign PDFs which is extremely annoying and I'm not paying their ridiculous price just to edit/sign a PDF. Smallpdf was heaven sent. I edit and sign all PDFs on there. Won't ever use anything els!

Cons

The price. It gives you a limit as to how many times you can edit a PDF each day for free, so if I need to correct an error or update a PDF I edited, let's say, an hour earlier, I can't and get a pay wall. You get like 2-3 times in a day as the limit.

It's worth a try, useful

Reviewed on 6/5/2024

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.

Free pdf editor for merging and compressing pdf files.

Reviewed on 5/11/2023

Pros

The main advantage of smallpdf is that it provides the Adobe PDF Premium features like merging pdf files, compressing pdf files, and converting pdf files to doc files for free. Also it works really well on a web browser.

Cons

Smallpdf is not advanced enough to replace Adobe. The UI is basic and does not give a seamless feel to read pdf files. Also, the pdf to doc conversion lacks advanced features like AI support.

It made my job easier because before to edit a PDF file I had to go through several processes or applications so that the document would let me edit it, now it is much simpler

Pros

It allows me to better manage PDF documents by being able to compress when they are very large files and being able to edit the original PDF file with text or images. All its functions make it easier to work with PDF and from my mobile it is also magnificent with the application that never fails

Cons

Overall, I am satisfied with the Smallpdf as it allows me to perform the basic functions required in our daily transactions. It is a good program, that I totally recommend, easy to use and has good features.

Pros

What I like the most about Smallpdf is that is a wonderful tool for whatever type of alteration you need to make to a pdf document. It might involve revising, merging, or signing. Everything is quick and simple to do. With a few clicks, simply upload the file and make the necessary change

Cons

Although I haven't yet seen any significant problems with Smallpdf, it is somewhat pricey when compared to alternative programs. Despite not having an OCR feature, Smallpdf is one of the best applications for managing and modifying pdf files.

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.

Scam Payment Charge and No Refunds

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.
