Before Merging

File Order Matters

The order you arrange files determines the final page sequence. Our merge tool lets you drag and drop to reorder files before merging.

Common Questions

Can I merge more than 2 PDFs?

Yes! You can merge as many PDFs as you need in a single operation.

What's the maximum file size?

There's no strict limit, but very large files (over 100MB each) may take longer to process.

Will the merged PDF look different?

No, the merge process preserves all formatting, fonts, images, and links from the original files.
