How it works

Three steps, no account

1

Add your files

Drop in two or more PDFs, or add them one at a time.

2

Set the order

Drag files up or down — the numbered position is the order they'll appear in the merged document.

3

Merge and download

Every page from every file is combined into a single PDF.

FAQ

Common questions

Is there a limit on how many files I can merge?
No fixed limit — since merging runs in your own browser, the practical limit is your device's memory, not a server-side cap.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Merging happens entirely in your browser — nothing is transmitted, logged, or stored.
What happens to password-protected PDFs?
A file that can't be read is rejected with an error when you add it, before it's added to the queue — it won't silently get skipped during the merge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a limit to how many PDFs I can merge?

No, you can merge as many PDF files as your browser's memory allows. For very large merges (50+ files), we recommend doing it in batches.

Will the quality of my PDFs be reduced?

No. The merge process copies pages exactly as they are. There's no compression or quality loss.

Can I merge password-protected PDFs?

Currently, password-protected PDFs are not supported. You'll need to remove the password protection first.

What happens to my files after I close the page?

Nothing is saved. Since all processing happens in your browser, closing the page removes all traces of your files.
