About Smallpdf

Smallpdf is a Swiss web platform (Smallpdf AG) with more than 30 PDF tools: compress, convert to and from Word, Excel, PowerPoint and images, merge, split, rotate, edit text, annotate, redact, watermark, protect, unlock and OCR. It includes e-signing and signature requests, and AI tools for chatting with a PDF, summarising, translating and generating questions. Files can be stored and shared from the web platform, and there are a Windows app, iOS and Android mobile apps with scanning, and a Chrome extension plus Google Workspace and Dropbox integrations.

Good for

Occasional and everyday PDF jobs done in the browser without installing software, such as compressing, converting Office files and getting a document signed, with AI summaries and translation in the same account.

Watch out for

The free plan is limited per the pricing page: daily download limits on most tools, basic compression only, and limited AI tools with a lower document word limit (25-35k words versus 100k on paid plans). Text editing, strong compression, batch processing and OCR conversions are paid features.

Pricing notes

Plans listed are Free, Pro, Team (2-19 seats) and Business (20+, custom). Paid prices did not render in the page text when read, so check the pricing page. A 7-day free trial is offered; cancelling during the trial reverts the account to the free plan.
