Smallpdf is the online PaaS (Platform as a service) tool that is used to convert multiple images into a single pdf, perform some edits on the PDF files, and convert multiple files formats into the PDF. If we check this around on the business side we use the Small pdf to covert the multiple pages into a single pdf, convert different file formats into pdf like HTML, JPEG, PNG, EXCEL, WORD, and many more. It gives us the ability to convert images into the pdf in just a click also SmallPDF provides the API service as well that we can use to integrate it on the other platforms.
  • Convert multiple images to single pdf.
  • Convert different file format to pdf.
  • Perform edits on the PDF online.
  • Easy to use and implement.
  • Can use the other services as well for the excel, ppt, doc and other formats.
  • Merging multiple pdfs into single one.
  • Use the tool on the fly.
Cons
  • SmallPDF should give the free trial access for the students to implement and play around it.
  • SmallPDF should not be only around PDF it should cover all the other fields as well.
  • Small pdf should work on building its brand value like this is a tool for all the important and handy tools to be used for multiple applications like pdf, excel, JPEG, PNG, ppt, word, and many more.
As per my knowledge and experience, Small PDF is well suited when we want to convert the large and bulk processing on the images to convert them into a single file and share. I found it well suited for college students because daily they scan multiple images and merge them to send as a single assignment file. Smallpdf has the future in the education field. Sometimes it is less appropriate for the people who want to share official documents by converting them into pdf without a watermark. I personally really like the Small PDF, it really helped reduce the difficulty of sending files, and photos to others.

At the current moment Smallpdf is being used by my team only as we are giving it a trial run. The most useful aspect is the mobile app as it helps us share documents, edit, merge, and convert PDF documents. Also, you can use all the features on the go very easily through the mobile app.
  • Converting PDFs to different formats.
  • Easy to use over mobile phone.
  • Sharing documents.
Cons
  • Free Trial has very limited features.
  • Pricing.
Smallpdf can be used for sharing, editing, [and] converting small documents. It can be very helpful for teams to use on the fly by using the mobile app which facilitates the collaboration between different team members. Unfortunately, It won't be a good fit if you have very large documents as it can be a bit slow.

Fast and effective

I discovered Smallpdf less than a year ago. One day I found myself with a problem after creating a test for my students since I did not know how to pass it to PDF to be sent by mail. My students could not modify it until my boyfriend arrived and he told me that with Smallpdf you could convert it and from there always I can change it. I've even shown other teachers how to use it when they need to pass PDF to Word files.
  • It is very fast, since for any file conversion it takes only a few seconds.
  • Everything is indicated, so it is not possible to make a mistake when choosing a function.
  • The conversion of files is very good, there are no collating errors, nor sizes, nor loss of any kind.
Cons
  • Maybe they could include a PDF to Epub converter that works, because the ones I've worked with so far have the problem of creating double jumps between paragraphs.
Smallpdf is quite appropriate for when you want to convert files to other formats in an easy and fast way, it even works very well when you want to number pages of PDF files (it has happened to me that I create a PDF file and I forget to number pages, so I do it with Smallpdf so that at the time of printing I do not confuse the order). In itself, it serves to be able to handle PDF files in an easy and comfortable way, since when passing them to other formats it is easier to extract images and information from those files.

SmallPDF here to save the day!

Our business, and I personally, use SmallPDF on a daily basis. We use the compression feature primarily however have found a use for almost all of the other features it offers. We send applications that must be under a certain file size. Unfortunately, when we receive them, they are not always small enough to be updated for approval. Small PDF has certainly saved us and made compressing these files much easier.
  • Compressing Files
  • Merging files for those who do not have the appropriate software
  • Easily converting file types
  • Protecting files with passwords if you do not have the appropriate software
Cons
  • Where the start over button lives after a function is completed is a tad hidden to the user
Smallpdf really hits the mark on anything you might need it for. They are always coming out with new features and have been a lifesaver in multiple scenarios. Unlocking and securing PDFs are extremely helpful if you are trying to prevent the end-user from being able to make edits. Especially for invoices and signed documents.

Smallpdf is an excellent tool to convert your word file to pdf and pdf to word. It helps in compressing data, storing data, converting JPEGs into pdf, excel into pdf, etc. We are able to extract and manipulate data, store and retrieve data according to the need and wants. We are able to showcase data in the exact form and convert it, compress it, split them, merge them, etc.
  • Convert word to PDF
  • Convert Pdf to word
  • Compress file
  • Split files
  • Merge files
Cons
  • Converting pdf to word, some formatting is disturbed.
  • While merging files, file size becomes large.
  • While compressing files, picture quality gets disturbed.
  • Some data is lost while converting the files.
Smallpdf is best suited for converting large files and data into compressed files of Pdfs. Excel and word can be converted into proper files and used accordingly. It is less favorable for companies where documentation is less. Companies, where documentation is key, can use small Pdf as an excellent tool to store, retrieve, and manipulate data.
