On the result page of our PDF converter, you can also choose to email yourself the document, if this is more convenient. The online tool currently can save Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and a variety of images to PDF on your iPad, for free.
Save PDF on Other iOS Devices
As a fully functional cloud platform, you can save PDF documents on an iPad, iPhone, iPod, MacBooks, and so on and so forth. As long as you have an internet connection (to access Smallpdf), saving a webpage to PDF format is a piece of cake.
If you also have a Windows computer or laptop, you can also access all Smallpdf tools. As an added bonus, we have the Smallpdf Desktop App. It’s currently only available for Windows users, though. This cool app lats you convert, merge, split, and edit PDFs offline, so long as you have a Smallpdf Pro account. If you don’t, you can still try it out by signing up for a 7-day free trial of Smallpdf Pro.
Reliable Online PDF Service
Smallpdf has been at this for a while now. We’re helping missions of users with their documents every month and have honestly lost count how many documents fly in and out of our servers every day. While we’re talking about our servers: We take data protection very seriously. When you upload a document by using one of our tools, it’s sent to our secure servers, all the while protected by TLS encryption. Once you’re done, it remains on our servers for one hour. This gives you plenty of time to make sure you didn’t forget to download it. If you did, and the hour passes by, your file is deleted from our servers automatically and we have no way of retrieving it. Not to worry, though—you still have your original on your iOS device, so you can always repeat the process, no questions asked.
We have a bunch of helpful guides and tutorials on our blog to help you get things done and get the most out of your documents, such as this one, on how to save PDF on. We push out new tools and blog articles frequently, so don’t forget to use bookmark us, for whenever you need to do anything with PDFs or other digital document formats.
