- Total reviews: 1,005

### Secondary ratings

- Ease of use: 4.7/5
- Customer support: 4.3/5
- Value for money: 4.4/5

### Rating distribution

- 4 stars: 204 reviews (20%)
- 3 stars: 33 reviews (3%)
- 2 stars: 6 reviews (1%)
- 1 star: 14 reviews (1%)

### Most mentioned pros

- The platform is user-friendly, convenient, and makes it easy to manage documents, especially when converting files, filling out forms, and using e-signatures.
- It is exactly just what I need from a cost free web application to take care of my small day to day need for merging, editing my pdf documents.
- I process payroll and print the paystubs to PDF and have individual employee folders as well as a general all folder for our use, so it really helps.

### Most mentioned cons

- I have noticed this tendency in PDF readers: whenever they have a web app version and a desktop app version, the web app version crashes if it tries to OCR very large files or very many files, but the desktop app can handle is.
- The free version also limits how much you can do in a day, so if you’re working with a bunch of files, you’ll hit that wall pretty fast.
- The daily usage limits for free users can also interrupt workflow, especially when working with multiple documents.

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

The compress pdf size tool work really well. 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.

#### Reasons for switching to Smallpdf

It is a cheaper alternative to some of the premium features of Adobe.

### Amazing product. Desktop app just needs a bit more.

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Jonathan T.

- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: May 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Very good. Love it. I am trying to get more people to use it. It's very close to being an all-purpose PDF platform.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

The user interface is INCREDIBLY easy to use. I love how you can seamlessly transition from merging PDFs to cropping them, and so forth. Great suite of features. User-friendly. Good value for the money. Also, support is fast if I ever have a technical issue.

#### Cons

Please please please create an feature for the desktop SmallPDF app to OCR files. SmallPDF's *web app* OCR feature produces the cleanest and most legible OCR'd files I have seen, but whenever I try to OCR very large files or very many files, it crashes because a web browser just can't handle that much processing. I have noticed this tendency in PDF readers: whenever they have a web app version and a desktop app version, the web app version crashes if it tries to OCR very large files or very many files, but the desktop app can handle is. The OCR feature needs to be brought to the desktop Smallpdf app. Please. I beg you. I'll pay more money for it.

#### Reasons for choosing Smallpdf

Easy batch cropping - a must have! Seamless user-friendly transition between merging/cropping/OCR'ing the same file. Easy drag-and-drop feature. Also, SmallPDF's OCR feature has the cleanest and most legible OCR output I've seen.

#### Reasons for switching to Smallpdf

I still use them. I would use Smallpdf exclusively if the desktop Smallpdf app could OCR files. iLovePDF has a desktop app that can OCR files, but the quality of the files it outputs tends to be poor.

### If You Send PDFS You Need This Tool!

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Zach P.

- Company size: 501-1000 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years

- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

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!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### 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.

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5

#### 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.

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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.

#### Reasons for switching to Smallpdf

Acrobat couldn't handle large document conversions, and bogged down for hours.

Tasks are completed quickly without unnecessary steps, and the most common PDF actions (compression, conversion, merging, signing) are accessible in just a few clicks. I also appreciate that it works directly online, without complex installation, and delivers reliable results even for non-technical users.
