Excellent Cloud PDF Tools Suite **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dale O. | Team Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2021 **What do you like best about Smallpdf?** I love that SmallPDF is accessible anywhere on any computer with a browser. All the PDF processing is done in the cloud. I typically use SmallPDF to convert my images to PDF, compress my PDF, and extract pages from my PDF. It's ironic how it processes my PDF faster than the time it takes to upload it, but that's on my end. They also offer a downloadable app, which is quite useful when your internet may be slow at uploading files. **What do you dislike about Smallpdf?** I don't have anything against SmallPDF, but one improvement I could suggest is that they should add more options to their PDF compressor. I wish I can fine tune the compression settings like quality or compress my PDF to a specified size. While I know that SmallPDF is quite simplistic, I want more advanced settings for advanced users. **What problems is Smallpdf solving and how is that benefiting you?** SmallPDF has significantly increased the speed of my workflow. Sometimes when I need to convert a PDF or do some PDF manipulation, but I don't have the right programs on my computer, I can just go to their website and upload my files quickly. I don't even have to waste time logging in because thankfully, they allow 3 free tasks per day. I can even use their PDF tools on my phone because their website is mobile friendly. ### 31.
