Smallpdf runs in the browser and on mobile, with more than 30 tools for compressing, converting, merging, editing and signing PDFs. The free plan gives access to the tools with limited downloads and a Sign.com account limited to 2 documents a month. Pro removes the download limits and adds strong and batch compression, text editing, OCR, unlimited use of the AI-powered tools, full mobile access and a Sign.com Premium subscription for e-signatures. Team covers 2 to 19 seats with discounted pricing, centralized billing and member management, and Business is quoted for 20 or more users. Conversion covers Word, Excel and PowerPoint in both directions. Prices on the page load by location and did not render in US dollars here, so our check is pending. Smallpdf suits people whose PDF work is mainly compressing attachments, converting files and collecting signatures, rather than detailed editing.
Who it is for
Office workers who mostly compress, convert and sign PDFs in a browser and want no installs.
