My Two Cents

Great service. Generous free service. I would definitely pay if I had the money. The ui is mostly clear and usable, which is very important to me since most other online pdf editors have very bad ui. Also the variety of services is really cool.

Excellent job

Excellent job! It is very friendly to use and helpful comparing to another similar app. If you feel annoying when spending time register to use trial of another similar app, I highly recommend you use Smallpdf. Very convenient, saving your time!

Unfortunately the company charged me…

Unfortunately the company charged me silently for multiple months even though I canceled my trial. When I reached out to customer support they just repeated to review their terms and conditions.

Yay! I love it

This site makes compressing Word docs fast and easy. They don't ask for your email address. I recommend using this site!

★☆☆☆☆ Poor app

★☆☆☆☆ Poor app, difficult to cancel, no refund
The Smallpdf app was difficult to cancel, and cancelling the subscription did not clearly cancel the app. It also failed to format, spell‑check, or properly convert my document to Word. Despite cancelling, I have not received a refund from their Zurich base. Very poor experience.
