Frequently Asked Questions
To merge unlimited PDF files online, upload your files to RoyalPDF.net's Merge PDF tool. There is no limit on the number of files you can upload. All page thumbnails appear in the "All Pages" container. You can drag and drop thumbnails to rearrange, use left/right arrows, duplicate pages, or delete unwanted pages. Click "Merge Now" to download your custom PDF.
To add a blank page between PDF pages, look for the Plus (+) button located between page thumbnails. Click the Plus button and select "Add Blank Page". A new blank page will be inserted instantly. You can add blank pages anywhere - between existing pages, at the beginning, or at the end of your document.
To insert an image between PDF pages, click the Plus (+) button located between any two page thumbnails. Select "Upload Image" and choose your image file (JPG, PNG, WebP, or any format). The image will be converted to PDF format and inserted as a new page in your document.
Each page thumbnail has left and right arrow icons. Click the left arrow to move a page one position to the left. Click the right arrow to move it one position to the right. You can also drag and drop any thumbnail to any position for faster rearrangement.
Each page thumbnail has action icons. Click the duplicate icon to create a copy of that page - useful for repeating headers, logos, or important content. Click the delete icon to remove unwanted pages. The "All Pages" container updates instantly to show your changes.
Every page thumbnail displays three key details: the page number (position in its source file), a color-coded dot matching its source file, and the source file name. This makes it easy to identify which file each page came from and its original page number. Pages added via Plus button show as "Blank Page" or the image filename.
The "All Pages" container header shows the total number of pages across all uploaded files (e.g., "Total: 45 pages"). As you add blank pages, insert images, duplicate, or delete pages, this counter updates automatically. You can work with hundreds of pages in a single merge session.
You can insert any image format including JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF. The image will be automatically converted to PDF format and inserted as a new page in your merged document at the position where you clicked the Plus button.
Yes. RoyalPDF.net's Merge PDF tool preserves original quality completely. Images remain at their original DPI, fonts stay embedded, and vector graphics remain sharp. Inserted images maintain their original resolution. The merged PDF is identical in quality to your source files.
Our free Merge PDF tool accepts PDF files up to 50MB total (across all uploaded files). There is no limit on the number of files - only total file size. Inserted images also count toward this limit. This covers most standard documents, reports, and scanned files.
Yes. Our Merge PDF tool works with scanned, image-based PDFs. Since scanned documents are essentially images wrapped in a PDF, our tool displays page thumbnails and lets you rearrange, duplicate, or delete pages just like any other PDF. You can also insert blank pages or images between scanned pages.
This Merge PDF by drag-and-drop tool gives you complete visual page control - all thumbnails in one container, Plus buttons to add blank pages or images, drag-and-drop rearrangement, left/right arrow icons, and duplicate/delete functions. PDF Combiner combines whole files only with up/down arrow ordering. Use Merge PDF when you need page-level precision and the ability to add blank pages or images; use PDF Combiner for speed with complete files.
Once you've merged your PDFs, you might want to split pages or convert to other formats.
