The Ultimate Guide to Merging PDF Files Locally and Securely

Why Merge PDFs Locally?
In today's digital workflow, we often find ourselves with scattered documents—invoices, reports, and scanned pages—that really belong together. Merging them into a single, cohesive PDF is essential for organization and professional presentation.
However, most online tools require you to upload your sensitive files to their cloud servers. This poses significant privacy risks, especially for confidential data. PDFBat changes that.
The Privacy-First Approach
When you use PDFBat to merge your files, the processing happens right in your browser. Your documents never leave your device. This is crucial for:
- Legal Documents: Contracts, NDAs, and court filings.
- Financial Records: Bank statements, tax returns, and invoices.
- Personal Data: Medical records, ID copies, and application forms.
Step-by-Step: How to Merge with PDFBat
Merging files shouldn't be complicated. Here is how to do it in seconds:
- Upload: Drag and drop your files into our Merge Tool. You can select multiple files at once.
- Reorder: Use our intuitive drag-and-drop interface to arrange the pages exactly how you want them. Need the cover page first? Just drag it to the top.
- Merge: Click the "Merge PDFs" button.
- Download: Your new, combined document is ready instantly.
Advanced Tips for better PDFs
- Standardize Page Sizes: For the best reading experience, try to ensure all your source PDFs are the same page size (e.g., A4 or Letter).
- Check Orientation: Use our Organize Tool to fix any upside-down pages before merging.
- Compress Final Output: If your merged file is too large for email, consider compressing it afterwards.
