Frequently Asked Questions
How many PDFs can I merge at once?
There's no limit. You can merge 2 files or 200 — it all happens locally in your browser. The only constraint is your device's available memory.
Can I select specific pages from each PDF?
Yes. Each file in the merge list has a page range field where you can specify exactly which pages to include (e.g., '1-3, 5, 8-10'). This lets you cherry-pick pages from multiple documents.
Will the merged PDF preserve formatting and links?
Formatting and web links, yes. OneClickPDF uses vector-based PDF manipulation, so text, images, fonts, and web links are preserved exactly as they appear in the original files. The source files' own bookmarks aren't carried over, but you can add one bookmark per source file to the merged PDF.
Can I merge password-protected PDFs?
Yes. PDFs that only restrict printing or editing are merged as they are. If a PDF needs a password to open, you'll be prompted to enter it; files you can't unlock can be skipped while still merging the rest. The merged PDF is not password-protected.
Merging PDFs shouldn't require uploading confidential documents to a stranger's server. OneClickPDF handles the entire merge locally in your browser — your files never leave your device. With unlimited files, drag-to-reorder, and per-file page ranges, it's the most flexible free merger available.
