Offline app for converting, merging, splitting, and compressing PDFs, safely and securely, without uploading. Discover the Smallpdf Desktop App.
The Smallpdf Desktop App is designed to make PDF easy for you—completely offline. The app is ideal for heavy users and those who need to process multiple documents quickly, or people looking for extra security to process sensitive documents.
We'll go through the main advantages and features of this fantastic tool in this article. Find out how you can turn PDF into the most versatile document format ever!
Why Offline?
At Smallpdf, we pride ourselves on our Swiss-grade security and engineering standards. We prioritize your safety and security—and that of your files—and are both ISO/IEC 27001 accredited and GDPR compliant.
Smallpdf provides secure PDF tools on both online and mobile platforms, but some users prefer keeping their files offline. Maybe your internet connection isn’t always reliable or perhaps you’re out and about and don’t want to use an unsecured public Wi-Fi network. You might even be working with highly confidential documents that can’t be processed online as per company policy. Whatever the reason, we completely understand the need for offline PDF tools.
With the Smallpdf Desktop App for Windows, your files are processed locally on your device. At no point in the process of using our app, your files are sent to an online server. This means that you still get to process your files the way you would on our online site, without ever actually having to go online. An added bonus: Minus the uploading and downloading steps, your work gets done even faster.
What Can I Do With the App?
Manage your PDFs like a pro with the Smallpdf Desktop App
With the Smallpdf Desktop App, you’ll get offline access to our most popular tools. Currently, you can compress, convert to Microsoft Office and images, protect and unlock, and merge files. The app also makes it possible to read, modify, organize, and split PDFs.
Batch Processing, Quick Actions, & More
The Smallpdf Desktop App also comes with some nifty features, including batch processing capabilities for our most popular tools: compress, convert, protect, unlock, and merge. This means you can process multiple files very quickly and in one go!
Merge multiple files in the blink of an eye!
We’ve also introduced quick actions so you can start working on your documents wherever they are on your system. Just right-click on a file anywhere in your file explorer and you’ll get a list of actions available for your file, straight away.
Work from within your file explorer
Did we also mention that the PDF Reader is super-fast?! You can set the app as your default reader through your settings.
How Can I Get the App?
The app is free to download here and you can use the basic compression tool, the reader, and the split tool for free. It’s compatible with all Windows 7+ systems. Other features require a Smallpdf Pro membership, but if you sign up for a 7-day free trial and then log in to the desktop app, you’ll get to try out all the features and perks to see how it suits you.
Smallpdf aims to make PDF easy and user-friendly by creating apps that cater to your preferences. We hope you love the Smallpdf Desktop App, as much as we loved creating it for you.
