"Amazing product. Desktop app just needs a bit more."

**Overall:** Very good. Love it. I am trying to get more people to use it. It's very close to being an all-purpose PDF platform.

**Pros:** The user interface is INCREDIBLY easy to use. I love how you can seamlessly transition from merging PDFs to cropping them, and so forth. Great suite of features. User-friendly. Good value for the money. Also, support is fast if I ever have a technical issue.

**Cons:** Please please please create an feature for the desktop SmallPDF app to OCR files. SmallPDF's \*web app\* OCR feature produces the cleanest and most legible OCR'd files I have seen, but whenever I try to OCR very large files or very many files, it crashes because a web browser just can't handle that much processing. I have noticed this tendency in PDF readers: whenever they have a web app version and a desktop app version, the web app version crashes if it tries to OCR very large files or very many files, but the desktop app can handle is. The OCR feature needs to be brought to the desktop Smallpdf app. Please. I beg you. I'll pay more money for it.

**Alternatives Considered:** [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) and [iLovePDF](https://www.capterra.com/p/173963/iLovePDF/)

**Reasons for Choosing Smallpdf:** Easy batch cropping - a must have! Seamless user-friendly transition between merging/cropping/OCR'ing the same file. Easy drag-and-drop feature. Also, SmallPDF's OCR feature has the cleanest and most legible OCR output I've seen.

**Switched From:** [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) and [iLovePDF](https://www.capterra.com/p/173963/iLovePDF/)

**Reasons for Switching to Smallpdf:** I still use them. I would use Smallpdf exclusively if the desktop Smallpdf app could OCR files. iLovePDF has a desktop app that can OCR files, but the quality of the files it outputs tends to be poor.

"Best PDF tool"

**Pros:** What I liked most about Smallpdf is how simple and intuitive the platform is to use. The interface is clean, and you can quickly find the tool you need without any confusion. It supports a wide range of PDF tasks like merging, splitting, compressing, and converting files, all in one place, which saves a lot of time. The processing speed is also impressive, even for larger files. Another big advantage is that it works directly in the browser, so there’s no need to install heavy software. Overall, it’s a very convenient and reliable tool for handling everyday PDF tasks efficiently.

**Cons:** What I liked least about Smallpdf is the limitation in the free version. Many advanced features are locked behind a paid subscription, which can be restrictive if you only need occasional access. The daily usage limits for free users can also interrupt workflow, especially when working with multiple documents. Additionally, sometimes file uploads and processing may feel slightly slower depending on internet connectivity. While the tool is very useful, the pricing may feel a bit high for casual users. It would be better if more features were accessible without requiring a premium plan.
