Pros

“The document editing is fine for light touch-ups but falls short for anything more involved deeper text editing, precise layout control, and more advanced document management leave you wanting a dedicated PDF editor.”

Soumya N.

Senior Software Engineer

“Smallpdf is my go-to for routine PDF work compressing, converting, and organizing documents because it's quick and requires almost no thought to operate.”

Soumya N.

Senior Software Engineer

“Converting PDFs to PPT allows me to quickly demonstrate small tweaks and refinements to clients, which saves time and enables our creative studio to focus on higher-value work.”

Lu H.

Account Director

Pros

“It is a reliable and easy-to-use online conversion tool website that offers a wide range of conversion services for video, audio, image files, etc.”

Shobhit K.

Asst. Controller-Tax and compliance

“Another best thing, this tool's interface provides all the file convertion options in a single place, whether its json, XML, CSV, PDF, or any other supported formats.”

Rehnuma K.

Content Writer

“which was good in terms of Enterprise. When we need to convert some files or if we have API , and as per testing purpose we need that response in a pdf format it was supported that one also, where we need to just hit the api and integration of APP is so easy.”

Akarsh A.

DevOps Engineer

Cons

“Some capabilities are gated behind the paid tier or hit usage limits on the free plan, which can interrupt you mid-task.”

Soumya N.

Senior Software Engineer

“That one has to pay 10 euros for a Pro subscription. That, according to Kununu, their employees are not treated well.”

Mateo C.
