Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2025

Transparency is one of our core values at Smallpdf Blog. This page explains our relationship with affiliate programmes and how we earn income from some of the links on this website.

What Are Affiliate Links?

An affiliate link is a special tracked link. When you click one and make a purchase (or sign up for a free trial, subscription, etc.), we may earn a small commission from the company at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether or not you use our affiliate link.

FTC Compliance

In compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions, we disclose that this blog may receive compensation from affiliate partnerships. This disclosure applies to all pages and posts on this site where affiliate links may be present.

Our Commitment to Honest Reviews

We want to be absolutely clear:

✅ We only recommend products we genuinely believe in.
✅ We personally test tools before reviewing them.
✅ Our opinions are always our own — no company pays us for a positive review.
✅ We clearly mark affiliate links where possible.
❌ We do not allow affiliate relationships to influence our editorial judgements.
❌ We do not promote products we have not tested or that we believe to be poor quality.

How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate links on this site may include a disclosure label such as “(affiliate link)”, “(sponsored)”, or a general notice at the top of the article. When in doubt, assume that a link to a paid product or service could be an affiliate link.
