It is often difficult to send emails that have attachments above 20 MB in our organization so SmallPdf is very useful when I need to send a PDF that comes in a larger size. > > **Cons**: Minimal complaints, but the same would apply from before where in some cases higher resolution photos that are part of the PDF can get degraded a bit in quality, but that is to be expected. Just something to keep in mind if you are using higher resolution or high DPI images in your PDF files. > > Overall I'm still incredibly satisfied with Smallpdf and I have been using it for several years. I intend to continue using it and often recommend it to colleagues looking for similar solutions. Smallpdf has been a blessing for compressing PDFS\! ----- ### "Review of SmallPdf" — 5.0/5 > **Gregory J** | *2 April 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Versatility and ease of use > > **Cons**: No human support. No account portal to see expiration date, payments made and general information like that. > > GREAT ----- ### "Simple to use yet advanced functionality making it the only document management software you need." — 5.0/5 > **Rachael** | *29 January 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Continues to offer incredible versatility for all of your document management needs along with advancements with an improved editor that is more streamlined and AI integration to help clean up documents. Still simple to use with expanded functionality. > > **Cons**: Still no dislikes with Smallpdf. Remains the most advanced yet streamlined interface that is simple to navigate. > > Wonderful overall experience that keeps me coming back and relying on this tool as my go-to document management tool. It has clean looking interface, is simple to interact with, yet offers incredibly advanced document management abilities with new and improved advancements. ----- ### "Probably the best service at making large volume PDF documents" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *13 February 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The speed of PDF creation for large documents (especially ones with many tables embedded within them) is amazing. Acrobat bogs down for hours, while this site generates it in ~1-2 minute(s). > > **Cons**: Not much to say here. Maybe the pay wall for more features, but that's pretty common with services like these. > > I can't really say anything bad about this. It's been pretty useful all around. I've had to create several documents that are 50+ pages in length, and this site converts them in no time at all. ----- ### "Highly recommend SmallPDF for conversion of many file types" — 5.0/5 > **Patrick** | *20 May 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simple to use. Intuitive layout. All tools I need in one place. Great customer support. Simple to use. Intuitive layout. All tools I need in one place. Great customer support > > **Cons**: I would like to specify the size of reduced file size PDFs - maybe in a range eg below 5Mb etc. 5-10 > > Always use it whenever possible. Great UX.
