About PDF Merge Tool

The PDF Merge tool lets you combine multiple PDF files into a single document using pdf-lib. Beyond simple merging, it lets you freely reorder files after adding them — by dragging or using the arrow buttons — so the final document comes out in exactly the sequence you intend. This makes it useful in real-world situations such as bundling a quote and a specification sheet to send to a client, or assembling a monthly report that was authored chapter by chapter. It supports up to 100 files per merge, so even large document sets can be processed in one go. A real-time progress bar keeps you informed during larger merges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Merging uses pdf-lib running as JavaScript in your browser. Files are not uploaded to any server.

Is there a limit on how many files I can merge?

You can merge up to 100 files at once. Each file can be up to 50 MB.

Can I merge password-protected PDFs?

Password-protected PDFs are not supported. Please remove the password protection before using this tool.

Can I change the name of the merged file?

The downloaded file is named "merged.pdf" by default. You can rename it after downloading.

How do I change the order of the files?

Use the up and down arrow buttons next to each file to adjust the order. You can also drag and drop files to any position in the list. The merge output follows the order shown in the list.

Where can I check the page count of the merged PDF?

The page count for each file is shown in the file list. You can also see the total page count before merging. After downloading, you can confirm the final page count in your PDF viewer.
