Overall Satisfaction with Smallpdf

Smallpdf is a lightweight online PDF application equipped with all the basic functionalities of PDF solutions. Users can use the software without downloading and installing the software. Among the tasks you can perform on this platform are converting, merging, compressing, and splitting PDF files. Smallpdf does not have the robust capabilities of its desktop counterparts. This PDF tool is created with the users’ convenience in mind. Hence, it’s capable of doing all basic PDF-related jobs entirely online. The application’s free version is already a robust PDF tool capable of all the basic PDF functionalities that users would need. It also offers integration support with other applications such as Dropbox and Google Drive, which will provide more dynamic, seamless, and smooth PDF processes.

Smallpdf is a basic PDF editor platform. Overall, it is best for beginners and those who only need a PDF editor to make simple edits and changes. Would also recommend it to those with a smaller budget. If you prefer an advanced, all-in-one PDF editor and also use other Adobe products like Adobe Sign and Adobe Scan, then we recommend Adobe Acrobat. If you need a solution with a wide range of review and annotation tools, currently use SignNow, and have a larger budget, then we recommend pdfFiller. If you need a semi-robust platform that is priced reasonably for those who want to long-term investments, then we recommend PDFelementIf you prefer an intermediate solution with high-quality customer support tools, then we recommend PDF Expert.

Pros: A ton of PDF toolsMulti-platform integrates Google Drive and Dropbox cloud services. Great pricing. Functionality relies on the internet. Struggles with complex documents.

Cons: Pretty limited in functionality compared to the desktop version. It's a bit costly if you want to convert or compress a batch or a group of docs. The pricing factor can determine a lot
