What PDF Smaller is
PDF Smaller is a browser-based PDF tool from a maker founded in 2024. Its Free Plan costs nothing, billed at $0/forever, and is available through the web and a Chrome extension. The service supports PDF conversion, OCR and annotation tools. It does not provide text editing or form creation. Files on the free plan can be up to 1GB, with no daily usage limits and no watermarks. An account is not required, so users can work without signing up. The product focuses on handling existing PDF files rather than changing text or building forms. OCR can help extract text from documents, while conversion and annotation cover other common browser-based tasks. The listed platform support is web and Chrome extension, making it suitable for people who prefer browser access instead of a desktop application. The plan is free, and its terms specify both the file-size allowance and the absence of a daily usage cap.
