Frequently Asked Questions
Is my PDF data kept private?
Absolutely. MultiTools uses pdf-lib, a client-side JavaScript library, to process your PDF files entirely within your browser. Your documents are never uploaded, stored, or accessed by any server.
Can I merge more than two PDFs at once?
Yes! You can upload as many PDF files as you need and merge them all into a single document in one step.
Does splitting a PDF reduce its quality?
No. The split operation extracts pages without re-encoding or compressing them, so the original quality is preserved perfectly.
What is the maximum file size?
Since all processing happens locally in your browser, the only limit is your device's available memory. Large PDFs (100+ MB) may take slightly longer to process.
