Merge PDF Online
Loading tool...
Whether you're putting together a report from separate sections, combining scanned pages into one file, or assembling a portfolio, this tool merges multiple PDFs into a single document — in the order you choose.
How it works
Files are merged directly in your browser. There's no upload to a remote server, which matters if your documents contain anything sensitive — contracts, financial records, ID scans. The merging happens using PDF-lib, an open-source library that manipulates the PDF structure directly rather than converting pages to images, so text stays selectable and the file stays sharp.
How to use it
- Upload the PDF files you want to combine (drag and drop works, or select multiple at once)
- Reorder them by dragging — the final document follows this order
- Click merge
- Download the combined PDF
A few things worth knowing
- Page order matters. Double-check the order before merging; you can drag files up or down in the list to rearrange.
- Large files take a moment. Merging is fast for typical documents, but very large PDFs (hundreds of pages, or with lots of embedded images) will take longer since it's all processed on your device.
- Text stays selectable. Unlike some tools that flatten pages into images, this keeps your PDF's text layer intact, so it's still searchable and copyable after merging.
FAQ
Is there a limit on how many files I can merge? No fixed limit — practically, it depends on your browser's available memory for very large batches.
Will merging affect the quality of my PDFs? No. The pages are combined as-is; nothing is re-compressed or re-rendered.
Are my files uploaded to a server? No, the whole process runs locally in your browser.
