Pros from Real Users Pros I don't know anything about the product. I was trying to open one file one day and I stumbled across this product that said it would open it for 99 cents. I had no idea that I was signing up for anything and it certainly was not clear that they would charge me $50 a month for something I'm really not even sure if I ever downloaded or used. Unfortunately it took me 3 payments to realize they were taking the money and they are not a decent enough company to do the right thing. Scammers!!!! I will make sure you will pay for what you did. You just wasted my time emailing you with my refund. You never refunded it to me!!!! No pros poor service unclear recurring charge refund denied very disappointing experience not worth it at all forever. I used it for a one time test and it was ok. I wanted to compress two videos but the final product lost quality. There are no pros ! Just stay away from this website as this is subscription trap and obviously this is a SCAM. N/A Nothing just for them to steal money and tell you that they can't refund you even though you dont need theire service Nothing extraordinary. You can find similar features on other apps which will not scam your money. This app is more like an enticement and entrapment to make you pay unwillingly. Professional appearance of document but took a lot of tries to have it downloaded professionally and then I had to print & scan it to be able to email it. Nothing		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.
