How do I merge PDF files online for free?

To merge PDFs online free: 1) Click 'Choose PDF Files' or drag and drop multiple PDFs into the upload area, 2) Arrange files in desired order using Up/Down buttons, 3) Preview thumbnails to verify order, 4) Click 'Merge PDFs', 5) Download your combined PDF. All processing happens in your browser - no upload required, completely free, unlimited usage.

How many PDFs can I merge at once?

There is no fixed limit on the number of PDFs you can merge. You can combine as many PDF files as your browser's memory allows - typically dozens or even hundreds of files. Our tool supports unlimited merging with no restrictions on file count or total size.

Are my files uploaded to a server? Is it safe and private?

No, your files are never uploaded to any server. All PDF merging happens 100% locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security. We don't collect, store, or access any of your documents. This is the safest way to merge PDFs online.

Can I change the order of PDFs before merging?

Yes, absolutely! After uploading your PDFs, use the Up (↑) and Down (↓) buttons next to each file to reorder them in any sequence you want. The PDFs will be merged in exactly the order shown in the list. You can rearrange files as many times as needed before clicking Merge.

Will the merged PDF maintain the original quality?

Yes, 100% quality is preserved. Our PDF merger maintains the original quality, fonts, images, formatting, and content of all PDFs without any compression or loss. Text remains crisp, images stay high-resolution, and all document properties are preserved in the merged file.

Is this PDF merger completely free? Do I need to register?

Yes, this PDF merger is completely free with unlimited usage. No registration, no account creation, no email required, no payment, and no hidden fees. You can merge PDFs as many times as you want, with as many files as you need - 100% free forever.

What is the maximum file size I can merge?

There are no hard file size limits imposed by our tool. You can merge large PDF files (100+ MB each) as long as your browser has enough memory. Most modern browsers can handle very large files. The only limitation is your device's available RAM.

How is this different from Adobe Acrobat PDF merger?

Unlike Adobe Acrobat which requires expensive subscription ($19.99+/month) and software installation, our PDF merger is: 1) Completely free forever, 2) Works in your browser - no software installation, 3) More private - files never uploaded, 4) Cross-platform - works on any OS, 5) No account required. We provide the same PDF merging functionality as Adobe Acrobat Pro without any cost.

Can I merge PDFs on mobile phone or tablet?

Yes! Our PDF merger is fully responsive and works perfectly on mobile phones (iPhone, Android) and tablets (iPad, Android tablets). The interface adapts to smaller screens while maintaining all functionality. You can merge PDFs on any mobile device with a modern browser.

Does the merged PDF have watermarks?

No, absolutely no watermarks! Your merged PDF will be clean without any branding, logos, or watermarks added. Many other 'free' PDF tools add watermarks - we don't. You get a professional, unmarked merged PDF file every time.

Can I merge password-protected PDFs?

You can merge password-protected PDFs if you've already unlocked them in your browser. If a PDF requires a password to open, you'll need to unlock it first using our Password Protect PDF tool or another method, then merge the unlocked PDFs.

What browsers are supported?

Our PDF merger works on all modern browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari (Mac/iOS), Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Brave. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. We recommend using the latest browser version for best performance.

How long does it take to merge PDFs?

Merging is very fast! Small to medium PDFs (10-50 pages each) merge in seconds. Large documents with hundreds of pages might take 30-60 seconds. The exact time depends on file sizes, number of files, and your device's processing power. All merging happens locally, so there's no upload/download wait time.

Can I merge PDFs with different page sizes and orientations?

Yes! You can merge PDFs with different page sizes (A4, Letter, Legal, etc.) and orientations (portrait, landscape). Each page will maintain its original size and orientation in the merged document. The tool handles mixed formats perfectly.

Will bookmarks and hyperlinks be preserved?

The merged PDF will preserve most document content, but some advanced features like bookmarks, hyperlinks, and form fields may not be fully preserved depending on the complexity. Standard content like text, images, and formatting is always perfectly preserved.
