Merge & Split PDF

Merge PDFs in order, extract a page range, or split every page into its own file - locally, without uploads.

Merging three scans into one submission PDF, pulling chapter five out of a hundred-page report, splitting a contract page by page for filing - PDF merging and splitting are the most frequent document operations, yet they constantly get funneled into services with daily limits or watermarks. This tool does both with an in-browser PDF engine: files never touch the network, there is no page cap, and no watermark.

Merge mode accepts multiple PDFs and lets you reorder them; split mode understands ranges like "1-3,5,8-", and can split every page into its own PDF bundled as a ZIP. The output filename is yours to choose, and page counts are shown as you go.

How merging works - and why quality never suffers

Merging copies each source document's page objects into a new file as-is: vectors, fonts and images are not re-encoded, so output quality is bit-identical to the source. What does not survive is document-level structure: bookmarks and form fields generally do not carry across merged files, while links embedded in page content do.

How to write a page range

Ranges are comma-separated and freely mixed: "1-3,5" takes pages 1 through 3 plus page 5; "8-" runs from page 8 to the end; "-4" takes the beginning through page 4. The per-page split mode honors the same range - only selected pages get split into single-page files.

Which PDFs cannot be processed

Password-encrypted PDFs cannot be decrypted locally by a browser - remove the password first (open with the password, re-save without one). Digitally signed or permission-restricted documents will lose their signatures after processing - that is the security model working as intended. Corrupt or truncated files are reported at load time instead of producing broken output.

Frequently asked questions

Are my documents uploaded?
No. Merging and splitting run on an in-browser PDF engine with no upload path, which makes the tool suitable for contracts, ID scans and anything else that should not leave your machine.
Is there a page or size limit?
No artificial one. The practical ceiling is browser memory: documents of several hundred pages and tens of megabytes are routine; thousand-page monsters are better processed in chapter-sized batches.
Can I control the merge order?
Yes - every file in the list has move-up/move-down buttons. Files are concatenated strictly top to bottom, and page numbers renumber in that order.
What are the split filenames?
Per-page splits default to originalname-page.pdf, delivered inside one ZIP so you are not clicking through dozens of downloads; range extraction produces a single PDF whose filename you set.
