- Drag the files into the order you want — the first file starts the merged PDF.
- Click Merge and download your combined PDF.
Why merging locally matters
Most “free” PDF sites upload your documents to their servers. That means your contracts, statements, and records sit on someone else’s machine, subject to their retention policy. localdobe is different: the merge runs inside your browser tab, using the same kind of technology that powers modern web apps like Figma. Nothing is transmitted, logged, or stored.

Frequently asked questions
Is this merge tool really free?
Yes. No watermarks, no page limits, no signup. The tool runs in your browser, so it costs us almost nothing to offer.
Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?
No. Merging happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.
Can I change the order of the files?
Yes. After adding files, drag them into the order you want (or use the arrows) before merging.
Is there a file size limit?
Only your device’s memory. Files in the hundreds of megabytes work on most modern computers.
Can I combine PDFs without uploading them?
Yes — that’s the whole point. Merging happens locally in your browser, so your files never leave your device. Disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
Can I combine a PDF with a JPG or PNG image?
Yes. Add any mix of PDFs and supported image files and they’ll be combined into a single PDF in the order you arrange them.
