About the Merge PDF tool

Merge PDF combines two or more PDF files into a single document using pdf-lib, a JavaScript PDF manipulation library, running entirely inside your browser. Add your files in the order you want them to appear, remove any with one click, then merge into one clean, downloadable PDF. There's no queue, no processing fee for larger files, and no cap on how many documents you combine short of the 50 MB total.

This is one of the most requested document tasks there is: combining scanned pages from a multi-session scan job, stitching together a multi-part report where each section was written in a separate file, assembling an invoice packet with a cover letter, receipts and a signed agreement, or simply tidying up a folder of related PDFs into one file before archiving or sending it off.

How the merge is performed

Behind the scenes, this tool loads each uploaded PDF's bytes directly into memory and creates a brand-new, empty PDF document using pdf-lib. It then walks through your files in the order they appear in the list, copying every page — its full vector content, embedded fonts and images — from the source document into the new one. Because pages are copied rather than rasterized, there's no quality loss: text stays crisp and selectable, and any embedded images keep their original resolution. Once every page has been copied across, the assembled document is serialized back into PDF bytes and offered to you as a single download.

Order matters — here's how to control it

The merged file follows the exact order your files appear in the upload list, top to bottom. If a file lands in the wrong position, remove it with the × button and re-add it — it will be appended to the end of the list, which is the simplest way to move something to the back. Plan your file selection order in your operating system's file picker (most let you Ctrl/Cmd-click files in the order you want) to get the sequence right on the first try.
