Merge PDFs privately in your browser
Combine PDF files locally with Tools by RS - no upload required. Also cover split, rotate, and compress workflows.
Published 2026-08-04
PDF packets for applications, expenses, and contracts often arrive as separate files. Merging them in the browser avoids sending sensitive documents to a random hosted converter.
How to merge PDFs locally
- Open Merge PDF and drop two or more PDFs in the order you want.
- Run Merge - pages are copied into a single document on your device.
- Download the merged PDF and keep originals archived.
Fix PDF orientation
Phone scans often arrive sideways inside an otherwise correct packet. Open Rotate PDF to fix PDF orientation: turn pages 90°, 180°, or 270° before you email the merged file. Rotation runs locally like merge and split. File bytes are not uploaded for core processing.
Split and compress
Use Split PDF for page ranges and Compress PDF when you need a smaller attachment. Savings vary - especially for image-heavy scans.
All of these tools follow the same privacy model: file bodies stay in your browser for core conversion.

Frequently asked questions
Do browser PDF mergers upload my files?
Ours do not. Merge, split, rotate, and compress run with local libraries in your tab.
When should I split instead of merge?
Split when you need a page range from one PDF. Merge when you need multiple files in one attachment.
