Also, it is easy to switch pages and edit pdfs in the Smallpdf. > > **Cons**: I do not like the naming feature of Smallpdf. The pdfs downloaded are also automatically saved with the suffixes, causing incovinience. > > I like using smallpdf not as an alternate to but in addition to Adobe PDF to access some important tools like pdf compression and merging. ----- ### "Good product, works very well" — 5.0/5 > **Sabrina** | *30 January 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It works very intuitively, almost everybody can work with this, i came from adobe pdf software, but this is so much easier and smoother. Even converting to excel works so nice. > > **Cons**: Sometimes login seems to be buggy, but other than that, i haven't found anything i don't like, everyting i used so far worked to my satisfaction. > > It is a very nice apllication, it works very well. In my opinion you really get good value for your money. ----- ### "If You Send PDFS You Need This Tool\!" — 5.0/5 > **Zach** | *22 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: As an organization dealing with a lot of media-rich PDFs that are large in size, Smallpdf has been excellent for reducing the size while still retaining a high degree of quality in the file. It is often difficult to send emails that have attachments above 20 MB in our organization so SmallPdf is very useful when I need to send a PDF that comes in a larger size. > > **Cons**: Minimal complaints, but the same would apply from before where in some cases higher resolution photos that are part of the PDF can get degraded a bit in quality, but that is to be expected. Just something to keep in mind if you are using higher resolution or high DPI images in your PDF files. > > Overall I'm still incredibly satisfied with Smallpdf and I have been using it for several years. I intend to continue using it and often recommend it to colleagues looking for similar solutions. Smallpdf has been a blessing for compressing PDFS\! ----- ### "Small pdf review" — 4.0/5 > **Mohamed** | *25 December 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how it’s really to use , no software installation is required everything is online fast and clean > > **Cons**: I really really dislike how limited is the free version , I also find it that I struggles with big files ----- ### "review of smallpdf" — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *17 April 2026* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: converts easy which is great also great to convert pdf files into the power point app which is very helpfull > > **Cons**: converting to word from pdf not great had a lot of editing to do to make it right wasting time hoping it will improve very soon > > good to use so that is good but due to not converting the pdf to word and having to write 100 words in boxes give 6 out of 10 ----- Page: 1 / 41\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/178267/smallpdf?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/178267/smallpdf) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
