At Smallpdf, we’re so proud that we’ve hit the 1 billion users mark! This means a billion of you amazing people around the world have used our tools!

How It Started

Smallpdf started out as a small idea. Our founders, who were abroad at the time, needed a way for their families to compress and send them scans of their mail. And so Compress PDF was born!

How It’s Going

Smallpdf was founded in 2013 as a single tool to help people compress their PDFs and now we offer a suite of over 20 PDF tools, the Smallpdf Mobile App, the Smallpdf Desktop App, and several integrations with some of the most popular software programs around.

Our tools help users from all over the world tackle a range of PDF challenges in an easy-to-use, affordable, and productive way by making PDF easy.

Check out our tools.

1 Billion Users

We are so proud to serve over 40 million users every month, process over 25 million documents every week, and to have our tools available in 24 languages. And to top it off, we’ve reached the billion users landmark since our founding in time for our 8th birthday!
