I like that Smallpdf keeps PDF work simple. Everything is easy to find, the interface is clean, and I can do most PDF tasks in my browser without installing anything. I work as a Dietician and Nutritionist, manage a homeopathy clinic, and also create health education content. I often prepare diet plans, nutrition guides, patient education material, clinic records, presentations, and other health education content. Since I work with PDF files regularly, I need tools that help me finish my work quickly. I mostly use PDF Compress before uploading or sending larger files. PDF to Word helps when I need to update an older document instead of creating it again. Merge PDF and Split PDF are useful because I often need to combine different documents or keep only the pages I need. OCR is also helpful when I receive scanned PDFs that need to become editable. The AI tools have also been very useful. AI Summary quickly gives me the main points from a longer health education PDF, so I can review it faster. Chat with PDF has become one of my favorite features because it makes long documents much easier to work with. When I am reading health education PDFs, research papers, or reference material, I can ask about a specific topic and quickly find the information I need instead of searching through the whole document. I also use the AI PDF Assistant to convert PDFs into Word and other formats, and I like that it brings different PDF tasks together in one place. I also like having tools like PDF to Excel, PDF to PowerPoint, Protect PDF, Extract Pages, and Number Pages available whenever I need them. Overall, Smallpdf has been a reliable tool that makes my PDF work quicker, easier, and more organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Smallpdf? I would like to see a little more access to the AI features in the free version. I also noticed that larger PDF files can sometimes take a little longer to process. It would also be nice if the free version allowed batch conversion, as converting multiple files at once would save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Smallpdf solving and how is that benefiting you? I work with many PDF files while preparing diet plans, patient education material, clinic documents, presentations, and health education content. Earlier, I often needed different tools for compressing, converting, merging, or editing PDFs, which took extra time. Smallpdf lets me handle most of these tasks in one place. I can compress large files, convert PDFs to Word when I need to update a document, merge or split PDFs, and use OCR for scanned files without changing my normal workflow. The AI Summary and Chat with PDF features are also helpful when I need to quickly understand a long health guide or research paper instead of reading every page. This saves me time, keeps my documents organized, and makes it easier to prepare files before sharing them with patients, students, or for health education content. Overall, it helps me finish my PDF work more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

People and Culture Officer Consulting Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/28/2026 "Effortless PDF Management, But Needs Better Multilanguage Support" 5/5 What do you like best about Smallpdf? I find Smallpdf very convenient and user-friendly. The UI on the main webpage makes it easy for anyone, even a layman who's never used a similar tool, to log in and do whatever is necessary, like converting files. Since we work in a small team, the PDF editing, splitting, and merging features are essential, and Smallpdf's efficiency in these tasks is great. The drag-and-drop feature for documents simplifies organizing them within Smallpdf. I appreciate how the compression feature retains the quality of PDFs, even when compressing, as the quality of the images is maintained, which is impressive. The ability to merge, split, compress, and convert from Word to PDF or PDF to Word is also incredibly useful. On top of that, the premium and pro licensing is priced conveniently and competitively. Overall, it's been a standalone tool that I've relied on for more than six or seven years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Smallpdf? What doesn't work well for us is when we deal with Arabic documents. When we convert from PDF to Word, the English elements are done perfectly using the OCR feature, but the Arabic gets all messed up. Unfortunately, we aren't able to convert documents with Arabic in it from PDF to Word without issues. However, splitting or merging PDFs works fine regardless of the language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Smallpdf solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Smallpdf for merging, splitting, compressing, and converting PDFs. It's crucial for managing large PDF files and retains quality during compression. The editing features make document preparation for reviews or clients easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Organization Coordinator Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/28/2026 "User-Friendly PDF Tool with Great Integrations" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Smallpdf? I like Smallpdf because it's actually the easiest PDF creator to use. I've tried Adobe and other ones before, but Smallpdf stands out because it also integrates with sign.com, which we use for signatures and turning documents into other formats. As a small organization, the ease of manipulating the software is really beneficial. I like the user experience, especially the look and feel, given the colors. It's just easy to do what you need to get done, like converting PDF to Word or PDF to Excel and vice versa. The capability to handle electronic signatures and track them is really helpful. We switched from Foxit Reader and Adobe because Smallpdf was just a better fit, especially for simple needs, with a better user experience and interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Smallpdf? Maybe the automatic automated fields. I've tried to work with those but they don't seem to line up properly. And, also, when we're doing signing signatures, I'd like it to just be even a little bit more intuitive of lining up where the signature goes and things like that. It's not really a big deal. But it could be a small improvement. I'd also really, really love better OCR capability to be able to scan like, scan our receipts and turn them into PDFs, that would be a really great feature and it would really make the software perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Smallpdf solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Smallpdf to create agreements, change formats, and track electronic signatures. It's easy to use, integrates with sign.com, and suits our small team's simple needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/12/2026 "Quick, User-Friendly PDF Compression" 5/5 What do you like best about Smallpdf? I've used Smallpdf over the years for compressing my PDF files into smaller versions. It helps me quickly compress files instead of jumping through all kinds of hoops on other programs to do so. I like that it's quick and easy to navigate and I enjoy the ease of use and efficiency. The initial setup was very fast, and I simply keep the link saved on my browser bookmark bar.
