Small PDF Converter currently has only the most used features from the web app version of this app, but developers from Smallpdf GmbH have promised that all features of the web app will eventually be added to the desktop version. To make the transition to new app versions easier, It has a built-in automatic upgrade tool.

Installation and Use of Small PDF Converter

Small PDF Converter comes in a fairly substantial installation package that weighs over 100MB. This size is needed not only because of the powerful conversion tools that are part of this app but also because this app is also a fully-featured PDF reader. Nevertheless, you can finish the installation procedure quickly by following on-screen instructions, after which you will be presented with the app.

All of these tools open up their own pop-up window with easy to use controls. The most extensive options are offered by Convert tool, where the following procedures are possible – Compress, PDF to Office, Office to PDF, PDF to Image, Merge and Unlock.

Small PDF Converter Software Benefits

PDF Reader

Our initial thought was to fulfill the needs of a PDF reader, which is not a feature that we offer online. The pdf Reader possesses a minimalistic design and sleek interface, for an optimized reading experience. PDF Software also comes with all the essential features to help you read, analyze, and compare PDF documents, including bookmarks, zoom, search, print, and preview.

Our PDF Reader is free for life for you to download, as we believe reading and viewing PDF files easily should come without a price tag.

All-in-one PDF Reader, for all your PDF needs.

Improved Functionalities

TST (The Smallpdf Team) aims not only to bring the processing functionalities offline to our PDF software but also to make it much better. Because of this, all the tools that we add to the desktop app come with further enhancements, including new mini functionalities.

Compress and Convert

As the PDF app process files locally, without the need for an internet connection, this cut down the time spent on processing files that would typically take up to upload files significantly.

With the lack of need to upload anything, your files are guaranteed to process much more swiftly than its online counterpart. Our team has also recently implemented the capability to batch compress files, with batch conversion in the works for an upcoming release.

PDF Software aims to make PDF easy, including a simple reading experience. Files can be opened automatically with PDF Software, as long as you have us set as your default Reader.

Windows users can now compress PDF files with a single right-click. This feature will soon roll out for Mac users as well.

New Function: You can also insert blank pages into your PDF files from within the Rotate tool, to help make sorting out pages and files much more effective.

Split

One particular feature that had consistently been requested by users was the ability to split one PDF into multiple, smaller files. Well, your prayers have been answered, as the offline version of the split function on our desktop app can do just this. On top of being able to split your files into individual files with one page each, you can also decide which sections to ‘cut’ the file.

New Function: Split PDF into multiple files, as mentioned.

Extract – Exclusive Desktop

This exclusive tool in the desktop app is derived from our online split tool, which you may find familiar. PDF Software can select multiple pages to ‘extract’ into a brand new PDF file.

New Function: Though the split functionality remains pretty much intact, the Extract tool is much more functional, as it allows you to select every single page in the PDF file. Afterward, you can be deselecting the pages you do not wish to include in your new file, before the extraction process. With this, you can automate the manual sorting of larger PDF files, with countless pages, such as eBooks or extensive instruction manuals.

Our popular merge tool did not require any improvements, as it’s perfect as it is. Open a PDF file within our PDF software, click on ‘Merge’, add other files and start the merging process.
