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. ----- ### "Awesome service \!\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Nathan** | *28 April 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the versatile of the product itself it is far from one dimensional. I am really satisfied with the prompt assistance from the supprt team and their understanding. A big thank you to Michelle\! > > **Cons**: I don't think there is much cons other than the premiums that are abit high but understandable based on what is being supplied. ----- ### "If You Send PDFS You Need This Tool\!" — 5.0/5 > **Zach** | *22 February 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation 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\! ----- ### "Best editing site and customer service" — 5.0/5 > **Vivein Faye** | *20 May 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really appreciate how easy it is to use their e-signature and form-filling features. Converting files to PDF and vice versa is also very quick and convenient. What stood out to me the most was their excellent customer service they handled my dispute promptly, kept me updated, and kindly considered my refund request, which meant a lot since I badly needed it for my medication. > > **Cons**: Honestly, there’s nothing I liked least about Smallpdf. My experience has been smooth and very convenient from start to finish. The tools are easy to use, the platform works fast, and the customer service team is responsive and helpful whenever assistance is needed. > > My overall experience with Smallpdf has been very positive. The platform is user-friendly, convenient, and makes it easy to manage documents, especially when converting files, filling out forms, and using e-signatures. I also appreciate how responsive and understanding their customer service team is. They handled my concern quickly, kept me updated, and considered my refund request, which I truly appreciated during a difficult time. ----- ### "Probably the best service at making large volume PDF documents" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *13 February 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The speed of PDF creation for large documents (especially ones with many tables embedded within them) is amazing. Acrobat bogs down for hours, while this site generates it in \~1-2 minute(s). > > **Cons**: Not much to say here. Maybe the pay wall for more features, but that's pretty common with services like these. > > I can't really say anything bad about this. It's been pretty useful all around. I've had to create several documents that are 50+ pages in length, and this site converts them in no time at all. ----- Page: 1 / 41\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/178267/smallpdf?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/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
