User reviews

Xodo Chrome extension is praised for its comprehensive PDF editing capabilities such as annotation, page merging, and note-taking, making it useful for work and study. However, several users find the extension mostly redirects to the website and limits free usage behind a paywall. It lacks seamless integration with Chrome’s PDF viewer and has usability issues in editing features. Technical problems and privacy concerns about data upload are also noted. While efficient and fast for some, many feel it is more of a bookmark than a fully integrated PDF tool.

Pros

Provides multiple PDF editing tools including annotation, merging, and converting.
Supports viewing and reading PDFs directly within the app.
Allows combining and deleting pages in PDFs effectively.
Offers smooth and fast performance when functioning correctly.
Helpful for daily work and note-taking on PDF documents.

Cons

The extension mainly acts as a set of links/bookmark to the website rather than a standalone tool.
Many features require a paid subscription or have significant usage limitations in the free version.
Does not open PDF links directly in the browser using the Xodo viewer, limiting convenience.
User interface has issues with editing, such as overlapping edits and difficulty inserting text boxes.
Some users encounter technical errors like "502 Bad Gateway" preventing PDF opening within the extension.

Unless you pay at least $4.99/month or have the patience to wait 5 hours between uses, you basically can't use this. Why must every PDF tool suite laugh at the poor like this?

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Xodo | PDF Editor, Converter & Merger does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
