How to Use PDF Merger
Upload Multiple PDF Files
Click the upload area or drag and drop multiple PDF files at once. The tool will display all uploaded files with their names, file sizes, and page counts. You can upload files one at a time or all together - the choice is yours.
Arrange File Order
Drag and drop the PDF files in the list to arrange them in your desired order. The files will be merged in the exact order shown, from top to bottom. You can also remove any files you don't want to include by clicking the trash icon.
Merge the PDFs
Once you're satisfied with the file order, click the "Merge PDFs" button. The tool will combine all files into a single PDF document, preserving all pages, formatting, and content from each original file.
Download Your Merged PDF
After processing completes, download your merged PDF file. The filename will be "merged-document.pdf" by default. You can then rename it as needed or merge additional files by starting a new session.
Common Use Cases
Contract Consolidation

Tips and Best Practices
- Check File Order: Always review the file order before merging. The drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to rearrange files, but double-checking ensures your final document flows correctly.
- File Size Considerations: Each PDF can be up to 50MB. If you're merging many large files, the final PDF may be quite large. Consider using our compression tool afterward if needed.
- Page Count Preview: The tool shows the page count for each PDF. Use this to verify you're merging the correct files and to estimate the total length of your merged document.
- Batch Processing: You can merge as many PDFs as needed in one operation. There's no need to merge files two at a time - upload all files at once for faster processing.
- Quality Preservation: The merging process preserves all original content, formatting, fonts, images, and metadata from each PDF. Your merged document will maintain the quality of the source files.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many PDF files can I merge at once?
There is no strict limit on the number of PDF files you can merge. However, for optimal performance, we recommend merging fewer than 20 files at a time. Each file can be up to 50MB in size. If you need to merge more files, consider doing it in batches.
Will the merged PDF maintain the original quality?
Yes, absolutely. Our merging process preserves all content, formatting, fonts, images, and quality from the original PDFs. The merged document is a true combination of your source files without any compression or quality loss.
Can I merge password-protected PDFs?
Currently, our tool cannot merge password-protected or encrypted PDF files. You will need to remove password protection from the PDFs before merging them. This is a security measure to ensure only authorized users can modify protected documents.
What happens to bookmarks and links in the original PDFs?
Internal bookmarks and links within each PDF are preserved in the merged document. However, bookmarks may need to be reorganized as they will reference their original page numbers. External links and hyperlinks remain functional.
Can I merge PDFs with different page sizes?
Yes, you can merge PDFs with different page sizes (e.g., A4 and Letter). Each page in the merged PDF will retain its original dimensions. This means your merged document may contain pages of varying sizes, which is perfectly valid for PDF files.
How long does the merging process take?
Merging time depends on the number of files, total page count, and file sizes. Typically, merging 2-5 PDFs takes just a few seconds. Larger batches with many pages may take 10-30 seconds. The tool shows progress during processing.
Is there a way to add page numbers to the merged PDF?
The basic merge function combines PDFs as-is without adding new content. If you need to add page numbers or other elements to the merged PDF, you would need to use a PDF editing tool after merging.
Can I preview the merged PDF before downloading?
Currently, the tool creates the merged PDF and makes it available for download immediately. You can open the downloaded file to review it. If you need to make changes to the order or content, simply start a new merge operation.
