Why Merge & Compress in One Step?
Normally, merging three 1 MB files creates a 3 MB unified document. If your portal has a 2 MB upload ceiling, you then have to locate another tool to compress it.
- ✓ Saves 50% Time: Upload once, arrange page order, and obtain a ready-to-submit lightweight document.
- ✓ Deduplicates Fonts & Resources: Strips duplicate embedded font dictionaries and metadata shared across documents.
- ✓ Maintains Orientation: Mixed portrait and landscape pages retain their exact dimensions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I change the order of files before merging?
After uploading your files, you will see a list of your documents. Use the up and down arrow buttons next to each document to arrange them in the exact order you want them to appear in the final file.
Will compressing the merged PDF make text unreadable or blurry?
No. Our compression engine optimizes the underlying PDF object trees and recompresses streams using standard FlateDecode deflating. Vector text, digital signatures, and line drawings remain 100% sharp and selectable.
Is there a limit on how many files I can merge?
You can merge multiple PDF documents simultaneously as long as the combined size does not exceed 25MB.
