Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Fast Reliable Accurate Ease to use with moderate to use even without much knowledge of computer it's ok
  • Easy to use. i loved the experience, i can recommend it to beginners. PDF Guru your daily office companion
  • I thought the price of 0.99€ to edit a PDF was reasonable as an urgent job which I needed in a rush.
  • I've been using it quite a bit these past few days, it's very fast and practical, I highly recommend it, not to mention that the website is very comprehensive!
  • easy to use and quick, best pdf signing tool I've ever used. came across this through an ad I saw on google
  • Pdf guru is an amazing app and it is very user friendly anyone can edit there pdf and make one it gives you so many options such as text, font type ,zoom in and many more it make my work done very quick and easily and I am a very happy user
  • N/A
  • I appreciate the overall user experience, professional presentation, and the effort invested in making the product accessible and convenient. The platform offers a useful approach, and I found the experience generally positive. Its features and practical functionality can be valuable for users seeking an efficient and reliable solution. The overall design and accessibility contribute to a satisfactory experience.
  • N/A
  • Very little to mention here. The PDF conversion itself worked and the website was relatively straightforward to use for the specific task I needed. Customer support was also polite and responded to my emails, which I appreciate. However, beyond that, I didn’t find much that stood out positively about the overall experience. The initial service seemed convenient for a simple PDF conversion, but the unexpected subscription charge and subsequent refusal to provide a refund significantly outweighed any positives. Given the cost involved, I would personally expect a much clearer purchasing process and greater transparency around trial-to-subscription terms.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Absolutely love that SmallPDF is available through a web browser, meaning we do not need to download and install any software and that it is accessible anywhere we are regardless of which computer we are using. It has *most* the features we use for editing PDFs including inserting text and converting PDF files to Word, and it integrates nicely with Google Suite. The overall design and UX is also very slick and intuitive.
  • The convenience of being able to convert to and from PDFs, along with a range of file manipulation options whenever I want, makes Smallpdf a no-brainer compared to the the huge expense and bloated nature of the market leader. It does exactly what I need it to do, 95% of the time, the balance is usually page "overflow" and not hard to rectify.
  • How easy it is to use, and the price. Also, the style is beautiful. And you can compress the document right after editing and signing it.

Cons

  • Coming from someone who also uses Nitro Pro, SmallPDF is missing the feature to directly edit existing text and images on a PDF file while retaining original formatting. This means I have to occasionally revert back to Nitro Pro if I need to edit existing text and images on PDF files (as opposed to adding text or images to PDF files, which is what SmallPDF can do).
  • The service could do with a custom option - there are tools I use all the time but there is no option to have shortcuts to these particular tools on the main menu. As a subscriber it would make sense to have that option rather than having to go through the whole list of tools to select the same thing each time. Conversion from pdf to jpg is not high resolution so the images do not stand up well on a web site. The Word to PDF conversion does not like "tight" pages and will overflow a two-page Word file into 3 pages of PDF, which can be frustrating but if you are aware of the problem then you can adjust the volume of copy accordingly to compensate.
  • I would like to have more featured with editing my documents.
