What to know

A predictable merge, with honest boundaries

The tool checks each input, preserves the selected page order, cleans source metadata, and verifies the finished page count before offering a download.

Your order is the output order

Drag files or use the arrow controls. Every page from the first file is copied before the pages from the next file.

Metadata is removed

The merged file is passed through the PDF metadata cleaner and checked again before download.

Forms flatten; bookmarks do not carry over

Interactive form fields are flattened to keep their visible values and avoid field-name collisions. Document bookmarks are not preserved.

PDF privacy

Review the file before you share it

Changing a PDF's page set can add or remove visible information, but it does not redact content inside a page you keep. Review the finished PDF and its metadata before sharing.

Questions

About merging PDFs locally

Are my PDFs uploaded?

No. Reading, merging, cleaning, and verification happen in your browser. The files are not sent to RemoveMyEXIF.

Does merging remove PDF metadata?

Yes. The output is cleaned of supported document properties, XMP metadata, file identifiers, and application metadata, then checked again.

What happens to PDF forms and bookmarks?

Interactive form fields are flattened into page content before copying so visible values remain and duplicate field names cannot collide. Bookmarks and outlines are not preserved.

Can I merge password-protected or signed PDFs?

No. Encrypted and digitally signed PDFs are rejected rather than modified in a way that could break protection or invalidate a signature.
