Frequently Asked Questions
β Is there a limit on how many PDF files I can merge?
You can merge multiple PDFs in a single session. For optimal browser performance, we recommend keeping each individual file under 50MB.
β Can I change the sequence of the files before merging?
Yes. Simply click and drag any document in the list up or down using the drag handle (β Ώ) to achieve your desired page order.
β Does merging reduce the visual quality of my documents?
No. The PDF-lib engine copies pages at the structural byte level without recompressing or rasterizing vector lines, ensuring 100% original quality.
β Can I merge password-protected PDFs?
Encrypted documents require their password before processing. Unlock them first with our Unlock PDF tool before merging.
