We tried the main online PDF converters (SmallPDF, iLovePDF, PDF24) from a regional user perspective. Here is what we actually offer, without the marketing fluff.
| What we compare | Freekonvert | SmallPDF | iLovePDF | PDF24 |

You need quick conversions without registration, in a Serbian/Montenegrin interface, with real privacy on most tools. Ideal for students, freelancers and everyday use.
If you convert large files (>25 MB), need batch processing of thousands of documents, or want a dedicated Excel/PowerPoint tool (planned, not here yet).
Excel, PowerPoint, video conversions, e-signature, OCR for languages other than srp/eng. These are planned. We focus on seven tools that work great, not fifty that work poorly.
