Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit to how many PDFs I can merge?
There is no strict limit on the number of PDFs you can merge. However, very large files or many large documents may take longer to process and could use significant browser memory. For best performance, we recommend merging files in batches if you have dozens of documents.
Will the merged PDF maintain the original quality?
Yes, absolutely. Our PDF merger preserves the original quality, resolution, formatting, and embedded content of all source documents. Images, fonts, and layouts remain unchanged in the merged output.
Can I change the order of pages after uploading?
Yes! You can rearrange the PDFs before merging using the up and down arrow buttons next to each file. The files will be merged in the order displayed, so arrange them exactly as you want them to appear in the final document.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No, never. All PDF merging happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files never leave your device, providing complete privacy and security. No data is stored, collected, or transmitted.
What happens to bookmarks and table of contents?
Basic merging preserves pages but may not maintain complex bookmarks or navigation structures from the original PDFs. The merged file will contain all pages in sequence but may require re-creating navigation elements.
Can I merge password-protected PDFs?
Password-protected PDFs cannot be merged directly. You'll need to remove the password protection from the source files first before merging them. This is a security feature to prevent unauthorized document manipulation.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Yes, the merger works perfectly with scanned PDFs, image-based PDFs, and text-based PDFs. All types of PDF documents can be combined regardless of their content type or how they were created.
How long does it take to merge PDFs?
Merging speed depends on the size and number of files. Small to medium documents (under 10MB each) typically merge in seconds. Larger files may take a minute or two. All processing happens locally, so your computer's speed affects performance.
