Choose the files to process — you can select more than one. They’re handled locally and never uploaded.

{ } How to use
- Add two or more PDF files.
- Drag the file cards to set the order.
- Select Process to combine them into a single PDF, then download it.
{ } What merging keeps, and what it does not
Pages are copied into a new document one file after another, in the order of the file cards. Because pages are copied rather than re-rendered, text stays selectable, fonts stay embedded and images keep their original compression — which is also why the merged file is roughly the sum of the inputs.
- Page sizes and orientations are kept per page: an A4 file merged with a Letter file gives one document containing both sizes.
- Annotations that belong to a page, including link annotations, travel with that page.
- Bookmarks (the outline) of the source files are not carried over; the merged file has no outline.
- The merged file starts with fresh document properties rather than inheriting one source file’s title or author.
{ } Password-protected files
A file that needs a password to open cannot be merged as-is — the tool reports an error rather than silently skipping it. Remove the password with Unlock PDF first, then merge.
{ } Order, size and limits
- Files merge top-to-bottom in the order shown; drag the cards to change it before you press Process.
- There is no fixed file-size or page-count limit — the limit is your device’s memory. In a test build, a 300-page and a 200-page file merged into 500 pages in under a second on a laptop.
- Inputs are held in memory while merging, so a phone with little free memory may fail on files of several hundred megabytes where a desktop browser succeeds.
- The output is always a single PDF (merged.pdf), never a ZIP; the summary shows how many files and pages went in.
{ } How it works
Merge PDF works on the files you upload. Select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Input
- PDF files — add the files to process (.pdf); they are read locally in your browser
Output
A downloadable PDF file — use the Download button in the Output panel.
{ } Common uses
- Assemble chapters or scanned batches into one document.
- Attach a signed cover page to a contract.
- Combine multiple exports into a single report.
{ } Limitations
- Pages are copied as-is (no re-encoding), so quality is preserved but file size is roughly the sum of the inputs.
- Form fields with identical names across files can collide; flatten forms first if that matters.
{ } Troubleshooting
The pages came out in the wrong order.
Reorder the file cards before processing — files merge top-to-bottom in the order listed.
The merged file is large.
Run the result through Compress PDF to shrink it.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
Yes — add several files and they’re all processed and downloaded together as a ZIP.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
Does merging reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied without re-encoding, so text stays sharp and images are untouched.
Is the output one file or a ZIP?
One combined PDF — merging never produces a ZIP.
