Merge PDF

Choose PDF files, arrange their order, select pages if needed, and merge them locally in your browser.

Choose PDF files

Drop or select two or more PDFs. Files stay in your browser while they are merged.

Merge settings

Each PDF keeps its original page size. Empty page ranges include every page.

Local processing
CrateX.app reads and combines the PDFs in this browser. Source files are not uploaded or synced by default.

Page ranges

Leave a file range empty for all pages. Use comma-separated pages and ranges such as 1-3,5. Open ranges like -3 or 5- are supported.

Merge PDFs

Create one PDF from the selected files and page ranges.

Common Scenarios

Reports

combine chapters, appendices, or exported sections into one PDF.

Forms

join signed pages, receipts, or supporting documents before sending.

Archives

keep related local PDFs together without uploading them.

Input & Output

Input: two or more local PDF files.
Pages: all pages by default, or ranges such as 1-3,5 per file.
Output: one merged PDF using the selected file order and pages.

Usage Advice

Check the order before merging; the first file contributes the first selected pages.
Use page ranges to skip cover pages, blank pages, or appendices you do not need.
Large PDFs can use a lot of memory. If merging fails, reduce file count or page ranges.

Limitations & Compatibility

This tool copies PDF pages. It does not compress, split, edit, sign, OCR, or repair PDFs.
Interactive forms, bookmarks, attachments, annotations, metadata, and digital signatures may not be preserved.
Encrypted or password-protected PDFs are not opened or decrypted.

Privacy & Security

Processing runs in your browser. CrateX.app does not upload the source PDFs or merged PDF. Files stay in page memory while this tool is open, and the result is available for download or local sharing.
