Frequently asked questions

How do I merge PDF files in a specific order?

Add every file, then drag the file cards until they match the required sequence before selecting Merge.

Will merging reduce PDF quality?

Joining normally preserves the existing page content. If the finished document is too large, use the PDF compressor as a separate step.

Can I merge password-protected PDFs?

A locked PDF may need to be unlocked with the correct password first. The tool cannot bypass document security.

Are uploaded PDFs stored?

The merge workflow runs in the browser where supported. Close the page and remove downloaded copies from shared devices when working with confidential files.
