How to Use the Merge PDF Tool
This guide explains how to use the Merge PDF Tool to combine multiple PDF files into a single document.
Key Features
Browser-Based Processing
All merging happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your computer.
Privacy Protected
No file uploads to external servers. Your documents remain completely private.
Flexible Reordering
Rearrange files in any order before merging to create the perfect document.
Free & Unlimited
Merge as many PDFs as you need, completely free with no restrictions.
Step-by-Step Instructions
You can add PDF files in two ways:
- Click on the upload area to browse and select files from your computer
- Drag and drop PDF files directly onto the upload area
Once files are uploaded, you'll see them listed in the order they will be merged:
- Each file shows its name and size
- Files are merged in the order they appear in the list
- Use the arrow buttons (↑↓) next to each file to move it up or down
- Click the × button to remove a file from the list
For advanced reordering, use the sorting controls:
- Move Up/Down: Adjust position of selected file
- Sort A-Z: Alphabetically sort all files
- Reverse Order: Flip the entire order of files
When you're satisfied with the file order:
- Click the "Merge PDF Files" button
- Wait for the merging process to complete (progress bar will show status)
- Once done, the merged PDF will automatically download to your computer
After merging:
- The merged file will be named "merged-document.pdf"
- You can rename it after downloading
- The original PDF files remain unchanged on your computer
Troubleshooting
Tool Doesn't Work
If the tool doesn't work, check:
- You're using a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari)
- JavaScript is enabled in your browser
- You have a stable internet connection (needed to load PDF library)
Large Files Take Time
Merging very large PDF files (100+ pages) may take several seconds. Be patient and don't close the browser tab during the process.
File Size Limit
Since processing happens in your browser, extremely large files may cause performance issues. For best results, merge PDFs under 100MB each.
