Smallpdf online PDF tools

Smallpdf was founded in 2013 in Zurich, Switzerland, with the simple goal of making PDF tasks easier for everyone. Originally starting with a single tool to compress PDF files, it has grown into a comprehensive platform offering over 20 tools for editing, converting, and signing digital documents. The brand is known for its user-friendly interface and accessibility across multiple languages.

While the software is accessible globally, its core development and operational headquarters remain in Switzerland. In 2024, Smallpdf continues to operate as an independent entity following its 2022 acquisition of the PDF scanning app Scannable, focusing on providing cloud-based document solutions to millions of users worldwide. The company maintains a strong commitment to Swiss data privacy standards while serving a global market.
