Other Features of the Smallpdf Mobile App
The Smallpdf Mobile App isn’t only a PDF scanner. You can also choose any picture from your device’s gallery and create PDFs. To do so, just select “Add from gallery” or “Add from files” from the options. Once you create a PDF scan, there are a handful of options for you to work with your new document—straight from the app.
From the file menu, tap on the three dots next to the file name, where you’ll be able to:
- compress your scanned PDF
- convert the PDF to other formats
- eSign the PDF
- rename or edit the PDF
- share the PDF and more
If you navigate over to the tool menu, you can access even more features, such as Merge.
Changing PDF Scans To Other Formats
As the most popular online PDF software, we have a lot more to offer you. Among the many features that we offer, document conversion is probably one of the most popular. It lets you convert your scanned images (saved in PDF format by default) to a wide range of other formats.
Once you create a file with our mobile PDF scanner, you can click the icon for more options and select “Convert to…” The app will then present you with a list of available file types, including Word, JPG, Excel, and PPT.
Since the app cannot store non-PDF files, we’ll automatically send them to your local or online file storage service, depending on what you’ve set up in the app.
PDF Scanning Made Easy
Once you open a PDF, you can also export and manage it via our parent website, which hosts over 20 PDF tools.
For instance, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is available if you want to convert the scanned PDF into an editable Word file. Other tools like Merge PDF, Split PDF, and Delete PDF Pages can help you manage your scanned files as you like. With these tools, you can make sure that your scanned file contains exactly what you need it to and that there is no missing or extra information.
We believe that PDF-related solutions should be accessible to anyone with any device, which is why you can use our tools on the web, mobile, and even desktop. Anything to help make PDF easy for you.
