Quick answer · example
How do I merge several PDFs into one without uploading them?
Drag the PDFs into the tool, put them in order with the arrows and press Merge PDF. The file is created in your browser, so your documents are not uploaded to any server. Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.
Calculation assumptions

How to use this calculator
Combine invoices, contracts or notes into a single file to send or archive. You can add as many PDFs as you like, all at once or in batches, and put them in order before merging. Because everything runs in your browser, it also suits confidential documents.
Worked example
Drag two or more PDFs into the file area.
Order them with the ↑ and ↓ arrows; the top one goes first.
Press Merge PDF and download the result.
Interpreting the result
The merged PDF keeps the text, images and quality of the originals: pages are copied, not printed again. Bookmarks and fillable forms may not be kept. If the final file is too big to email, check whether one of the originals contains very high resolution scans.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a limit on files or size?
There is no fixed limit: it depends on your device memory. A normal computer can merge dozens of PDFs and hundreds of pages without trouble.
Are my documents uploaded to a server?
No. The page downloads an open source library and processes the files in your browser. You can check by disconnecting from the internet after adding the files.
Can I merge a password-protected PDF?
No. Open it first in your PDF reader, save a copy without a password and use that here.
