The mobile version of SmallPDF Which is the one I use the most since it is practical, you just take out your phone and you can scan any document, you can edit PDF documents and convert Word, Excel or any image files to PDF format.

Pros

What I like the most is that it is a practical application to edit PDF files, it is not heavy software that is installed on your PC, this makes it very easy to use since it is used through the browser.

Cons

What I don't like about small PDF is that the document editing part lacks some tools, it's practical for small editions, but when better text or font recognition is required, it's not as good as other PDF editors.

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.

I've enjoyed the free version

Reviewed on 13/01/2024

Pros

I've only utilized the free version of Smallpdf. It was come in handy when I worked for an organization that didn't have a paid subscription to a similar service. Typically I didn't need to complete a lot of the functions at once, so the daily limit would be enough for me to get by. Having it easily accessible online was also handy.

Cons

If you're needing to do more, the free version is definitely limiting. I've never looked into the pricing, so I can't say an opinion on if it is worth it (but I'd guess it might be!).

Pros

This the allrounder tool that can solve all your pdf problems. It can be used for merging pdf, compressing, editing pdf, protecting pdf everything can be done with that. So it's must recommended.

Cons

If you are using free plan, there is so much limitation. But if you want to buy a plan, it will cost a bit high amount as per my point of view. Because using this tool is not a daily task for normal people. So they should decrease the price.
