PDF: overview and choosing the right tool

The PDF tools help merge, split, compress, rotate, unlock, protect, and convert PDF files. They are designed for workflows where a document needs a quick adjustment without opening a large desktop application.

Because files are processed locally, the tools are suitable for contracts, invoices, applications, manuals, and other documents where uploads should be avoided. The category covers common PDF tasks from sending to archiving.

How to choose the right tool

Choose the right tool

Start with the tool whose input field best matches your PDF files. This avoids unnecessary options and gets you to a reliable result faster.

Check the result

For important data, compare the result with a small example or known reference value, especially when rounding, formatting, or file size matters.

Consider privacy

For sensitive content, browser-based tools are especially useful because inputs or files are usually processed locally and do not need to be prepared for an account.

Common tasks

Prepare PDFs for sending

Compress, remove pages, rotate, or merge documents so files become smaller, cleaner, and easier to share.

Extract content

Export PDF pages as images or extract embedded images when content needs to be reused in presentations, CMS workflows, or documents.

Secure documents

Protect PDFs with a password or remove known passwords when files are prepared for internal storage, sending, or further editing.

Frequently asked questions

Are the PDF tools free?

Yes. The tools on Xoricon can be used without signing in and are designed for quick tasks in the browser.

Are my inputs uploaded?

Most tools in this category run locally in the browser. If a tool requires a different processing model, the individual tool page should make that visible.

Which tool should I open first?

Choose the tool based on your source material and the result you need. Each tool card states the main purpose and links directly to the matching input interface.
