PDF Merge & Split
Combine, split, and reorganise PDFs in seconds. Use this free tool to merge PDF files into one document, split a large PDF into separate pages, extract a specific page range, or export any page as a PNG image, all without installing software.
Privacy is built in: your files never leave your device. Everything runs locally in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to a server. There are no accounts, no watermarks, and no file-size paywalls.
Password-protected PDFs are not supported. Your files never leave your device.
How to use the PDF merge & split tool
Add one or more PDFs using the area above. To merge, load every file, drag them into the order you want, and download a single combined PDF. To split, open one document and either separate every page into its own file or enter a page range to keep. You can also export individual pages as PNG images. Pick the action you need, preview the result, and download, no setup required.
Common workflows
Most people reach for a tool like this to solve one of a few everyday problems. Combining is useful when you scan a multi-page document one page at a time and end up with a stack of separate files that should be a single PDF, or when you want to bundle an invoice, receipt, and cover letter together. Splitting helps when a report is too large to email or when you only need to share a couple of pages. Extracting a page range lets you pull a single chapter, form, or appendix out of a long document, and exporting to PNG is handy when you need a page as an image for a slide, a website, or a quick preview.
| Task | What it does | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Merge | Joins several PDFs into one ordered file | Combining scans, invoices, and attachments |
| Split | Separates a PDF into individual pages | Breaking up a large or unwieldy document |
| Extract range | Keeps only the pages you choose | Pulling a chapter, form, or section |
| Export PNG | Saves a page as an image | Slides, previews, and web use |
Tips for clean results
Before merging, rename or reorder your files so the final sequence is correct; dragging them into place is faster than fixing the order afterwards. When splitting, double-check page numbers against the document, since page ranges are inclusive. If a scanned PDF is large, exporting only the pages you need keeps the file small and easier to send. And because the tool works locally, you can process sensitive documents without worrying about where they are uploaded.
Merging Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and image files
This tool combines PDF files. Cloud services that accept Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or image files silently convert each one to PDF before merging — you can do the same in two quick steps and keep your files private. Open the document in its original app and choose “Save as PDF” or “Export to PDF,” or use any image-to-PDF or office-to-PDF converter, then add the resulting PDFs here and merge them in the order you want. Exporting to PDF first also locks fonts, spacing, and layout, so the merged file looks identical on every device instead of shifting the way an editable document can.
| File type | Merge directly here? | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | Add it and merge as-is | |
| Word (.docx) | No | Export to PDF from your word processor first |
| Excel / PowerPoint | No | Use “Save as PDF,” then add the PDF |
| JPG / PNG images | No | Convert images to PDF, then merge |
Are there file size or page limits?
Many online mergers run on a server and cap free use — common limits are around 50 MB or 50 pages per file, a handful of tasks per hour, and only one file processed at a time unless you pay. Because this tool runs entirely in your browser, there’s no per-task quota, no hourly cap, and no paywall on size. The practical ceiling is your device’s available memory: very large scans or dozens of high-resolution files at once can slow down or run out of memory on older hardware. If that happens, merge in smaller groups, then combine the results, or compress image-heavy PDFs before merging.
Frequently asked questions
How do I merge PDF files into one?
Load every PDF you want to combine into the tool above, drag them into the order you want, and download the result as a single document. There is no limit on the number of files, no account needed, and no watermark. Because the merge happens in your browser, even large or confidential files stay on your device.
How do I split a PDF into separate pages?
Open the PDF in the tool and choose the split option. You can break every page into its own file or enter a page range to keep just the section you need. Then download the new files. This is ideal when a document is too large to email or when you only want to share part of it.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so your PDFs are processed locally and never sent anywhere. Nothing is stored, and closing the tab clears your files from memory. That makes it a safe choice for contracts, statements, and other private documents you would rather not upload to an online service.
Can I extract just a few pages from a PDF?
Yes. Use the extract option and enter the page range you want to keep, for example pages 3 to 7. The tool builds a new PDF containing only those pages, leaving the original untouched. This is the quickest way to share a single chapter, form, or appendix without sending the whole document.
Can I merge a password-protected PDF?
Password-protected PDFs aren’t supported, because their contents stay encrypted until unlocked and the tool never sees the password. If you have the right to open the file, unlock it in a PDF reader — remove the open password under the security or permissions settings — and save an unprotected copy. You can then add that copy here and merge it normally with your other PDFs.
How do I reduce the file size of a merged PDF?
Merging doesn’t re-compress your pages, so the combined file is roughly the sum of its parts — large if the originals contain high-resolution scans or images. To shrink it, run the merged PDF through a PDF compressor afterward, which lowers image resolution and strips redundant data. For the smallest result, compress image-heavy source files first, then merge. Text-only PDFs are usually already small and need no further compression.
Can I rotate or delete individual pages while merging?
The merge step reorders whole files, not single pages, so it doesn’t rotate or delete pages mid-merge. To drop unwanted pages, use the split or extract-range feature to pull only the pages you want into a new PDF first, then merge those. For sideways pages, rotate and save them in a PDF reader before adding the file. This keeps each tool focused and your workflow predictable.
Does merging reduce the quality of my PDFs?
No. Merging copies each source page into the combined document without re-encoding text or downsampling images, so the output keeps the original resolution and clarity of every file. Quality only changes if you deliberately compress the result afterward to save space. Because the whole process runs locally in your browser, your pages are never uploaded, re-rendered on a server, or altered beyond being placed in the order you choose.
