100% client-side — your PDFs are never uploaded

Merge, split & rotate PDFs

Combine several PDFs into one, pull out a page range, or fix a sideways scan — all in your browser, so even a confidential document never leaves your device. Merging keeps text selectable and quality untouched.

What you can do here

Three of the most common PDF chores, without installing software or uploading anything. Merge combines several PDFs into one in the order you choose — use the up/down buttons to arrange them first. Extract / split pulls a page range (like 1-3, 5) out of a PDF into a new file, leaving the original untouched. Rotate turns every page of a PDF by 90°, 180°, or 270° to fix a scan that came in sideways.

Nothing is re-rendered

An important quality point: merging and extracting copy pages exactly as they are. Your text stays selectable and searchable, and no image is recompressed, so there's zero loss of quality — unlike the "print to PDF" trick that flattens everything. (If your goal is a smaller file rather than reorganising, use the PDF compressor instead.)

Why doing it locally matters

The PDFs people most often need to merge, split, or rotate are the sensitive ones — a signed contract, an ID scan, a medical form, financial statements. Free "PDF merge" websites upload those to a server you don't control. Here, the files are read and rewritten entirely inside your browser using pdf-lib, with no upload at any point. You can confirm it yourself — watch the Network tab or work with the connection switched off. The merge & split guide explains each operation in more depth.

Frequently asked questions

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser using pdf-lib. The files never leave your device.

Does merging reduce quality or lose text?

No. Pages are copied as-is, so text stays selectable and nothing is recompressed.

How do I extract specific pages?

Choose "Extract / split," then type the pages you want — for example 1-3, 5 — and download the new PDF.

Can it open password-protected PDFs?

It can handle some restricted PDFs, but a PDF locked with an open password must be unlocked first. Very large files are limited by your device's memory.
