Step by step

How to merge PDF files

1

Drop in your PDFs

Drag and drop into the file zone, or click to browse. Add more anytime — the queue grows.

2

Drag to reorder

Each card has a grab handle on the left. Reorder by dragging, or use the up/down arrows. Page order inside each PDF is preserved.

3

Set filename and metadata

Choose an output filename, and optionally a PDF title and author. These appear in the final document's metadata.

4

Click Merge & download

The merged PDF is generated locally and offered as a download. Nothing is uploaded.

Yes — drag a card to reorder, or use the up/down buttons. The order of pages inside each PDF is preserved.

No. The output is a plain merged PDF — no watermarks, no logos, no tracking.

About

About PDF merging

PDF merging is conceptually simple: take all the pages from each input file and stitch them into a new document. The hard parts — preserving fonts, images, annotations, form fields, and outlines — are handled by pdf-lib, an MIT-licensed PDF toolkit that runs entirely in the browser using WebAssembly for parsing.

What is preserved

  • Original page sizes, rotations, and content streams
  • Embedded fonts and images (deduplicated where possible)
  • Hyperlinks and annotations inside page content
  • Per-page metadata, including bookmarks where present

What changes

  • Top-level document metadata is replaced with your title/author/producer values.
  • Outline (bookmark) structure is regenerated from the input documents.
  • Form fields with conflicting names across PDFs are renamed to avoid collisions.
