Merge PDF files
Combine PDFs in the order you want with the easiest PDF merger available.
What is Merge PDF Files?
Combine multiple PDF files into one document in your exact order. Fast, secure, and 100% in-browser with zero uploads and preserved formatting.
When should you use it?
This tool is useful when you need to rearrange, combine, split, or prepare PDF pages for sharing, submissions, and document cleanup.
How Merge PDF Files handles your file
Your PDFs are opened and written inside your browser tab with pdf-lib. No file bytes are transmitted anywhere.
Your device's own CPU does the work, so there is no upload wait and no server-side copy of your document to retain.
Good to know before you convert
- Encrypted PDFs are opened in unencrypted mode; password-protected files should be unlocked first.
- Page content is copied exactly, but document-level extras such as bookmarks, form fields, and attachments are not carried into the merged file.
How to use Merge PDF Files
Select the PDF files you want to combine by clicking 'Select PDF files' or dragging them into the drop zone.
Drag the file cards to set the exact order the documents should appear in.
Click 'Merge PDFs!' to combine the files locally in your browser and download the merged document.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to merge my PDFs with PdfPix?
Yes. Unlike services that upload your files to a server, PdfPix reads and rewrites the PDF inside your browser tab. Your documents are never transmitted.
Is there a limit on how many files I can merge?
There is no artificial cap or queue. The practical limit is your device's available memory, since every page is held in RAM during the merge.
Does merging PDFs preserve formatting and page size?
Yes. Page content streams are copied byte-for-byte into the new document, so fonts, vector graphics, images, and page dimensions are preserved. Document-level features like bookmarks, form fields, and attachments are not merged.
