About the Merge PDF
Combines multiple PDF files into a single document, in the order you choose, entirely in your browser.
How to use it
- Click to add two or more PDF files.
- Reorder them with the up/down arrows, or remove one with the × button.
- Click Merge & download.
Formula
Uses pdf-lib, an open-source PDF library, to copy every page from each source file into one new PDF in your chosen order — no server involved.
Worked example
A 3-page PDF and a 5-page PDF merge into one 8-page PDF, in whichever file order you set.
Recommendations
- • Reorder files before merging — the output follows the list order top to bottom, and re-merging after download means starting over.
- • Password-protected or corrupted PDFs will be rejected with an error rather than silently producing a broken file.
- • For very large files, merging happens on your device's CPU, so expect it to take a few seconds longer than a small file.
Frequently asked questions
No — merging happens entirely in your browser using a local PDF library; your documents never leave your device.
