Frequently Asked Questions

Do PDF files stay private when using these tools?
Yes. PDFs are processed in-browser and remain on your device during merge, split, compression, and metadata editing flows.
Can I reorder pages before exporting a final file?
Yes. Use the PDF Organizer to rearrange page order and rotation, then export a corrected document without external software.
Does PDF compression remove text quality?
Compression primarily targets embedded assets and structure size. Text usually remains readable, but you should verify output for files with heavy image content.
Which tool should I use first for large multi-file jobs?
Start with Merge to build a single source document, then apply Organize or Compress depending on whether your next goal is layout cleanup or file-size reduction.
