What is Merge PDF?

The Merge PDF tool concatenates any number of PDF files into one PDF. Each page is copied verbatim so the output preserves text, images, and layouts.

How it works

pdf-lib reads every uploaded PDF and copies its pages into a new empty PDF in the order you upload them.

  1. Upload 2+ PDFs. Drag in any number of PDF files.
  2. Merge. Press Merge to download the combined PDF.

Examples

Combine report.pdf and appendices.pdf

Produces a single report-with-appendices.pdf.

Common mistakes

Password-protected PDFs

Locked PDFs cannot be read by pdf-lib. Remove the password first.

Alternatives

Reorder PDF

If you need to rearrange pages within one file, use Reorder PDF Pages instead.

Frequently asked questions

Will text remain searchable in the merged PDF?

Yes — pages are copied without re-rendering, so embedded text remains selectable.
