Merge PDFs
Combine multiple PDF files into one, directly in your browser.
Tool code processes selected files and entered content in your browser and does not submit them to a TOOLGRID processing endpoint. TOOLGRID measures tool usage, not the content you enter.

Browser-basedWhat this tool does
Select multiple PDFs, arrange them in the order you want, and merge into a single file in your browser. Tool code processes selected files and entered content in your browser and does not submit them to a TOOLGRID processing endpoint. Limits depend on available browser memory rather than a server-side file-size cap.
Use it to stitch monthly reports together, bundle a cover letter with an attachment, or assemble a multi-source proposal before sharing — all in your browser, no server round-trip.
What you can do with this tool
Merge quarterly financial reports, department summaries, and appendices into a single PDF for stakeholder distribution.
Combine a cover letter, pricing sheet, portfolio samples, and terms into one polished PDF to send to clients.
Merge multiple papers, references, and supplementary materials into a single document for submission or review.
What to check before relying on the result
- Performance and maximum practical input size depend on browser memory, device speed, and the structure of the input.
- Review the generated result before replacing or publishing an original file.
How to use
- 1
Drop one or more PDFs onto the dropzone, or click to pick them.
- 2
Drag the files in the list to reorder them. The order shown is the order of the merged output.
- 3
Click Merge. The combined PDF downloads to your device.

Tips & Tricks
Arrange your files in the exact sequence you want before clicking Merge. The tool respects the order you set, and reordering afterward requires re-merging.
Merged PDFs can be large. Run the result through the PDF Compress tool to reduce file size — especially useful before emailing.
If you need to interleave individual pages from different documents rather than append whole files, use the PDF Reorder tool instead.
Tool code processes selected files and entered content in your browser and does not submit them to a TOOLGRID processing endpoint. Browser-local processing avoids a TOOLGRID upload path, but it is not a blanket security guarantee.
After merging, verify the total page count matches the sum of your input files to confirm all pages were included.
FAQ
Are my files uploaded to a server when I merge PDFs?
Merging happens in your browser. Tool code processes selected files and entered content in your browser and does not submit them to a TOOLGRID processing endpoint. Browser-local processing avoids a TOOLGRID upload path, but it is not a blanket security guarantee.
Is there a limit to how many PDFs I can merge at once?
There is no enforced limit. You can merge as many files as your browser can handle. For very large batches, merging in groups of 10–20 files at a time is recommended for reliability.
Will merging PDFs reduce the quality of images or text?
Page content is copied without intentional rasterization, but the output is a newly serialized PDF. Document-level structures such as metadata, outlines, forms, signatures, annotations, or cross-document references may change, so open and verify the result before relying on it.
Can I merge a PDF with owner restrictions?
Encrypted PDFs and permission-restricted PDFs are not supported by the current browser engine. Use a trusted desktop PDF tool to create an unencrypted copy before merging.
How do I control the final page order?
Add files in any order, then reorder them before merging. The final PDF follows the order shown in the workspace, so review the list before downloading.
Can I merge PDFs on my phone or tablet?
The interface is responsive, but mobile memory limits can make large or image-heavy merges unreliable. Use a current desktop browser for demanding documents.
Does the merged PDF have any watermarks or branding?
The tool does not add a watermark or TOOLGRID branding. Merging still creates a new PDF, and document-level structures may change during serialization.
What's the maximum file size I can merge?
There is no universal safe limit. Browser memory, page count, image resolution, encryption, and preview rendering all affect the practical maximum. Keep the originals and start with a smaller representative merge when documents are large.
