Smallpdf Reaches 1 Billion Users

By California Business Journal Editorial Staff

Smallpdf is both an online and downloadable PDF tool that allows users to optimize their files and workloads through over 20 different functionalities. This could be compressing a large PDF file for sending (which is actually the first tool Smallpdf offered, as well as the reason behind it), sending documents for electronic signing, or merging files of different formats into one.

Smallpdf is now celebrating a total of one billion users, which includes 40 million users each month. Despite the company’s relatively small size, it has achieved great success since being founded less than 10 years ago.

If you haven’t already, go to their website.

Not only are their tools available completely free, they are also extremely user-friendly and easy to use. This means that regardless of how often you need to use their tools, you can just go to their page and instantly complete the task at hand.

Mike Pilawski, CPO of Smallpdf, puts this into an astounding perspective: “At 1 billion users, the impact seems staggering. Based on our customers’ feedback, we saved our customers over 2.5 million hours, the equivalent of 7,000 years or close to 90 full lifetimes our customers can use to spend time with their families, pursue hobbies, or simply enjoy their lives.”

One of the main reasons that Smallpdf has reached such high user levels is that their tools are available in 24 different languages, meaning that people all over the world can benefit from their services.

If you ever work with PDFs (and let’s face it – everyone does), Smallpdf is certainly worth checking out. Just ask any of their one billion users.
