The counter box shows how many pages you've selected from each file. When ready, click "Merge Now" to download your custom PDF.
To rearrange files before merging, upload all your PDFs. Each file container has up and down arrows at the top. Click the up arrow to move a file higher in the merge order. Click the down arrow to move it lower. The order you see is the order in your final merged PDF.
To remove a file from your merge list, click the cross (×) icon located at the top of the file container. The entire file and all its pages will be removed immediately. You can upload it again if needed.
Each file container includes quick selection tools. Click "Select All" to choose every page in that file. Click "Deselect All" to clear all selections.

Yes. RoyalPDF.net's PDF merger preserves original quality completely. Images remain at their original DPI, fonts stay embedded, and vector graphics remain sharp. The merged PDF is identical in quality to your source files.
Our free PDF merger accepts PDF files up to 50MB total (across all uploaded files). This covers most standard documents, reports, and scanned files. There is no limit on the number of files or pages, only total file size.
Yes. Our PDF merger works with scanned, image-based PDFs. Since scanned documents are essentially images wrapped in a PDF, our tool displays page thumbnails and lets you select specific pages just like any other PDF. No special processing required.
PDF Merger gives you page-level precision - you can select or deselect individual pages by clicking on thumbnails, use quick selection tools, and see a counter of selected pages. PDF Combiner combines whole files only (no page selection) with up/down arrow ordering. Use Merger when you need specific pages from each file; use Combiner for speed with complete files.
Once you've merged your PDFs, you might want to split pages or convert to other formats.
