About Merge PDF
Need to combine multiple PDFs into one document? Whether you are merging chapters of a report, combining scanned pages into a single file, assembling a portfolio, or packaging invoices for accounting, this tool makes it simple. Drag and drop your PDF files into the upload area, then reorder them by dragging to set the desired sequence. You can see the page count for each file before merging, helping you verify you have the right documents. Click merge and download a single consolidated PDF that preserves the formatting, fonts, and layout of every original document. The tool uses the pdf-lib library to perform the merge entirely in your browser — no files are uploaded to any server, which is critical when working with confidential contracts, financial documents, legal filings, or medical records. This is a practical everyday tool for office workers, students, freelancers, and anyone who regularly works with PDF documents.

Reduce PDF File Size for Email — 3 Practical Methods
Most email providers cap attachments at 25 MB. Here are three browser-only ways to shrink a PDF: structural compression, image down-sampling, and page splitting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit to how many PDFs I can merge?
There is no hard limit. The tool processes everything in your browser, so the practical limit depends on your device's memory. Merging dozens of average-sized PDFs should work fine.
Will the merged PDF keep bookmarks and links?
Yes. The merge operation copies pages as-is, preserving internal links, annotations, and other page-level features.
Can I reorder the files before merging?
Yes. Drag and drop the files in the list to set the order before you click merge.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. Transmute processes everything locally in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your files never leave your device — there is no server, no upload, no cloud processing.
