PDF Merger

File

Joins multiple PDF files into one — page count, internal structure, and metadata from each source are stripped and the pages re-emitted into a fresh document via `pdf-lib`. Everything runs locally, so even sensitive contracts, medical records, or invoices stay on your device.

Files (0)

No PDFs yet — drop or pick at least two.

Everything happens in your browser — files never leave your device.

How to use

  1. Drop or pick the PDFs in the order you want them merged.
  2. Use the up / down arrows to rearrange them if needed.
  3. Set the output filename and click Build, then Download.

Frequently asked questions

Are the files uploaded anywhere?
No. Files are read, parsed by `pdf-lib`, and re-emitted in your browser — there's no server round-trip. Closing the tab discards everything.
Does it preserve form fields, bookmarks, and outlines?
Pages keep their visual content (text, images, annotations on the page). Top-level metadata, bookmarks / outlines, and form fields aren't currently re-stitched — pdf-lib emits a fresh document structure.
What about encrypted PDFs?
PDFs encrypted only with a basic owner password (i.e. the protection users usually run into) are read with `ignoreEncryption: true` — they merge fine. Documents with a user password (needed just to open) won't decrypt without the password.
Any size limit?
Limited only by your browser's memory — the whole document is held in RAM during the merge. Phones can usually handle a few hundred MB of total input before stuttering.
