Frequently Asked Questions
Are my merged PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. Unlike traditional tools, Zynocode Labs merges your PDFs locally in your browser sandbox using client-side JavaScript (pdf-lib). Your files never leave your device.
Is there a limit to the number of PDF files I can merge?
You can merge up to 20 PDF files at a time. The file size limit is 20MB per file, depending on your system's memory.
Will merging PDFs affect the quality of text, links, or images?
No. The local merger copies page objects and structure directly, preserving vector text, fonts, hyperlinks, and image resolution without re-compression.
Can I merge password-protected PDF files?
No. If a PDF is password-protected or encrypted, the client-side engine cannot read its pages. You must unlock the file before uploading it.
Can I select specific page ranges from each PDF to merge?
This tool merges entire documents. If you want to merge specific page ranges, use our PDF Splitter tool first to extract those pages, then merge them.
Does this tool work offline?
Yes. Once the page is loaded in your browser, the tool operates fully offline without any network requests.
