A Smallpdf alternative that never uploads your files
Smallpdf is a polished service. The difference is where your file goes.
| Smallpdf | Dozo | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your file goes | Uploaded to Smallpdf’s servers in Ireland, kept for 1 hour, or 14 days when shared or sent for signature. | Stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. |
| Account | Some tools and storage need one. | Never. |
| Price | A free plan, and a paid Pro plan. | Free, with no paid plan. |
What Smallpdf does that Dozo doesn’t
Converting PDF to Word and other formats, signature requests sent to other people, document storage, and apps. If you need those, Smallpdf is a good choice.
Which one to use
For a contract, a payslip, an ID or a medical record, use a tool that never uploads it. For conversions or signature requests Dozo doesn’t offer, Smallpdf does the job.
