Merge PDF — Frequently asked questions
Is Merge PDF free for journalists?
Yes. Sensitive documents are processed then deleted — no cloud copy to subpoena. There is no signup, no trial and no watermark on your files.
What kind of files can journalists use Merge PDF for?
Merge PDF works with the documents journalists handle every day — interview transcripts, leaked documents, press kits, public records, research dossiers and story drafts. A common case: Redacting a source's identity from a document before it is published or shared.
Is there a limit to how many PDFs I can merge?
You can merge many files in a single batch (up to 100 MB total). Everything is processed in your session and then deleted automatically.
Will merging change the quality of my pages?
No. Pages are combined exactly as they are, with no re-compression or quality loss.
Can I reorder the files before merging?
Yes. After uploading, drag the files up or down to set the exact order, and the combined PDF follows it.
Can I merge images or Word documents with PDFs?
The merge tool combines PDF files. To include images or Word docs, convert them to PDF first with the Images to PDF or Word to PDF tool, then merge the results.
Do I need software like Adobe Acrobat to merge PDFs?
No. Merging happens entirely in your browser for free, with nothing to install on your device.
Does merging keep each file's page order?
Yes. Each file’s pages stay in their original order; only the files are joined in the sequence you set.
