About this tool

Combine multiple PDFs into one file for applications, reports, or invoice packs — without uploading sensitive documents to a third-party merge service.

Client-side processing keeps contracts, ID scans, and tax forms on your device while pdf-lib assembles pages in the browser.

Optimization can tidy some PDF structures; image-heavy scans may still stay large unless you recompress images separately first.

Tips for better results

  • Order files carefully before merging; page order usually follows the order you add them.
  • If a merge fails on a huge scan set, split the job or reduce image DPI with an image tool first.
  • Open the downloaded PDF and spot-check the first and last pages before sending it to a client or portal.
  • Password-protected PDFs may need unlocking in another app before this browser tool can read them.

How to use

FAQ

Are PDFs uploaded?

No. Merge and optimize steps use client-side JavaScript in your browser.

Can it always reduce file size?

Not always. Structure optimization helps some files; photo-heavy PDFs often need image recompression elsewhere.

How many PDFs can I merge?

It depends on browser memory and device capacity. Large batches work better on a desktop with free RAM.

Does merging keep form fields?

Simple page merges are reliable. Complex interactive forms or scripts may not survive every optimization path.

Is there a watermark?

No. ShishwaLab does not add watermarks to merged output.

Can I rearrange pages after merge?

Re-run with files in the desired order, or use a dedicated PDF editor for fine page sorting.
