What Smallpdf is for
Smallpdf is an Android app for working with PDF files on a phone. The developer says it has been around since 2013 and has 1.7 billion people using it, which is its own claim rather than something checked here. The core jobs are converting, compressing, editing, signing, merging, splitting and scanning documents.
It suits people who regularly receive, fill in or send PDFs and want to do that from a phone. The listing also pitches it at business users who handle receipts and tax paperwork.
Converting PDFs to Word, Excel and images
The converter turns a PDF into a Word document, an Excel spreadsheet or a PowerPoint file, and into JPG or PNG images. It also runs the other way, turning images into a PDF.
Conversions are the main thing the free tier limits. Free use allows one tool task a day, and the listing says Pro removes that limit across all tools.
Editing, annotating and combining PDF pages
The editor changes text, images and links directly in a PDF. Highlight, underline and strikethrough annotations sit alongside comments, and the listing also mentions a PDF filler for completing forms.
Page tools let you rotate, delete and rearrange pages, merge several files into one, split a large file into parts, and compress a PDF to reduce its size. The developer says compression keeps quality, a claim that is not tested here.
Scanning paper and receipts with the camera
The scanner uses the phone camera to turn documents, receipts and handwritten notes into PDFs or JPG files. The listing says it crops and optimises each scan automatically.
OCR converts scanned pages into editable text and recognises text inside PDFs. The listing says OCR supports multiple languages.
Signing documents and saving files
Signing covers adding your own e-signature to a document and digitally signing a PDF. You can also send a document to other people to sign and follow the progress of that request. The listing says the signing process is tracked in real time.
Files can be opened from and saved to Google Drive, Dropbox and other cloud services, or kept on the device. The listing says uploaded files are deleted one hour after processing unless you save them locally or to the cloud.
