What is Merge PDF?
PDF merging combines multiple PDF documents into a single file while preserving page content, fonts, and vector graphics. Essential for assembling reports, combining invoices, merging scanned documents, and building document packages.
Our merger runs entirely client-side using pdf-lib — your documents stay private.
