Making the Most of Our 1GB File Size Limit

We’ve increased our file size limit to 1GB, enabling you to convert larger videos, comprehensive PDFs, and extensive image collections when needed. However, we recommend keeping files smaller for optimal performance and reliability. For the best results, convert files in smaller chunks whenever possible, as smaller files process faster and have higher success rates.

While the 1GB limit offers flexibility for occasional large file conversions when breaking files into smaller pieces isn’t practical, larger files come with an increased possibility of failed conversions due to complexity and processing demands. Reserve larger file sizes for occasional use, and remember that keeping files smaller remains the optimal approach for consistent, reliable conversions.

When working with files approaching the 1GB limit, always verify your file size before uploading. Use a stable, high-speed internet connection, preferably wired, and be patient as larger files can take several minutes to upload. During uploads, keep your browser tab open and monitor the progress indicator. Ensure your file is in a supported format.

Avoid uploading files larger than 1GB, using mobile data connections, or closing your browser during uploads. Process multiple files one at a time to prevent connection issues. Take advantage of our cloud storage integrations with Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive for faster transfers.

Merge PDFs Online for Free – Plus Powerful PDF Tools in One Place

If you work with documents regularly, you’ve probably needed to merge multiple PDFs into a single file — contracts, reports, scanned pages, or course notes. Our new PDF Merge tool makes this fast, secure, and completely browser-based, with no software to install.

Even better, it sits alongside a full suite of PDF utilities (split, compress, rotate, organize, extract pages, extract images, unlock, protect, and more), so you can handle your entire PDF workflow in one place.


What the PDF Merge Tool Does

The PDF Merge tool lets you combine multiple PDF files into a single document while preserving page order and quality.

Key benefits:

  • Combine multiple PDFs into one file
  • Preserve original quality as much as possible
  • Merge in the exact order you choose
  • 100% browser-based, no installation required
  • Secure uploads over HTTPS and automatic file deletion

How to use the PDF Merge tool:

  1. Open the Merge PDF tool on the site.
  2. Click the “Browse” or “Choose File” button and select your first PDF.
  3. Select additional PDF files to add them to the list in the order you want them merged.
  4. Click the “Merge PDFs” button.
  5. Wait a moment while the conversion runs, then download your combined PDF file.

Typical use cases:

  • Combining multiple scanned PDFs into a single document
  • Merging a main contract with all annexes or schedules
  • Consolidating monthly reports into one easy-to-share file
  • Assembling course materials (slides, notes, handouts) into one PDF

Why Merge PDFs Instead of Sending Separate Files?

Merging PDFs solves several real-world problems:

  • Easier sharing: One file is simpler to send, store, and refer to than a collection of attachments.
  • Better readability: Readers can scroll through a single, continuous document rather than opening multiple files.
  • Less room for error: You reduce the risk of forgetting to attach a critical document.
  • Cleaner archiving: A merged file is easier to archive, search, and back up.

If you routinely send multiple related PDFs, merging them into one file before you share them can save you and your recipients a lot of time.


Other PDF Tools You Can Use

The Merge tool is part of a larger toolkit for working with PDFs. Here are the other major PDF tools you can highlight and link to.

  1. Split PDF

Split PDF lets you split a single PDF into multiple PDFs.

You can:

  • Extract specific page ranges (for example, 1–3, 10–12)
  • Remove unwanted sections and keep only what you need
  • Split large documents into more manageable parts

This is ideal when you only need to share a single chapter or section from a long document, or when an email system limits attachment sizes.

  1. Compress PDF

Compress PDF reduces the file size of your documents while aiming to preserve readability.

You can:

  • Shrink large scanned PDFs to a fraction of their original size
  • Make documents easier to email or upload
  • Optimize PDFs for web or mobile viewing

This is especially useful for scanned documents, presentations with images, and reports loaded with graphics.

  1. Rotate PDF

Rotate PDF fixes orientation problems without re-scanning your documents.

You can:

  • Rotate all pages in a document
  • Rotate only a specific page range (for example, pages 2–4 or 5–10)
  • Choose 90°, 180°, or 270° rotations

This is perfect when some pages were scanned sideways or upside down, and you want to correct them once and for all.

  1. Crop PDF

Crop PDF lets you trim away unwanted margins and content.

You can:

  • Remove large blank margins from scans
  • Hide headers, footers, or sidebars you don’t need
  • Focus on the main content area in your document

Cropping is useful if you want your PDF to look better on smaller screens or when printing.

  1. Organize / Reorder PDF Pages

Organize PDF lets you rearrange pages inside a PDF.

You can:

  • Change the order of pages (for example, 3, 1, 4, 2)
  • Group related sections together
  • Fix mistakes where pages were added in the wrong order

This is helpful when preparing reports, pitch decks, or multi-part forms where the flow matters.

  1. Extract Pages from PDF

Extract PDF Pages creates a new PDF from just the pages you select.

You can:

  • Extract a single page
  • Extract multiple pages (for example, 5, 7–9)
  • Extract a range of pages into a separate document

This is great when you only want to send or keep a specific portion of a larger document.

  1. Remove Pages from PDF

Remove Pages lets you delete unwanted pages and keep the rest.

You can:

  • Remove blank pages from scans
  • Remove title pages or back pages you no longer need
  • Clean up a PDF after merging or scanning multiple documents

It’s a quick way to tidy up documents before sending them to clients or colleagues.

  1. Extract Images from PDF

Extract Images pulls all embedded images out of a PDF.

You can:

  • Extract photos or diagrams contained in a document
  • Download all images as individual files or as a single ZIP archive
  • Choose formats like JPG, PNG, or TIFF (depending on the tool’s options)

This is useful if you want to reuse images from a brochure, report, or presentation.

  1. Unlock PDF

Unlock PDF (with the correct password) removes restrictions so you can:

  • Open your own password-protected files more easily
  • Merge or edit PDFs that were previously locked
  • Print documents that had print restrictions (when you have the right to do so)

Only use this on files you own or have permission to unlock.

  1. Protect PDF

Protect PDF lets you add password protection and encryption to your documents.

You can:

  • Require a password to open the file
  • Use modern, secure encryption so your content is protected
  • Share sensitive PDFs with more confidence

This is ideal for contracts, financial statements, HR documents, and anything confidential.


Using Multiple PDF Tools Together

The real power comes from combining these tools in a workflow. For example:

  • Compress → Merge → Protect
    Compress several PDFs, merge them into one, and then password-protect the final document.
  • Split → Organize → Merge
    Split out sections from several PDFs, reorder the pages, and merge into a new, clean master document.
  • Extract Pages → Rotate → Compress
    Extract the pages you need, fix their orientation, and compress the result for easy sharing.

Because all the tools share the same platform, the experience is consistent: once you understand one tool, the others feel familiar and straightforward.


Security and Privacy

Handling your PDFs securely is critical. The platform is designed with privacy in mind:

  • Files are transferred over secure HTTPS connections.
  • Converted files are kept only for a limited time, then automatically removed.
  • You can manually delete a file immediately after download using the delete option on the results page.
  • Strong encryption is used when protecting PDFs, to avoid weak legacy algorithms.

This makes the tools suitable for sensitive work like contracts, invoices, legal documents, and internal reports.


Conclusion

The new PDF Merge tool makes combining multiple PDFs into a single, polished document simple and fast. When you combine it with the rest of the PDF toolkit — Split, Compress, Rotate, Crop, Organize, Extract Pages, Extract Images, Unlock, and Protect — you get a complete set of tools to manage almost any PDF task, from simple edits to complex workflows.

Use the Merge tool the next time you need to assemble a report, bundle up contracts, or consolidate study materials. Then explore the other PDF tools to streamline everything around it, all from your browser and all in one place.

Understanding The Difference Between WOFF and TTF Fonts

To understand the difference between WOFF (Web Open Font Format) and TTF (True Type Format) fonts, you need to understand both of them individually as well as their synergistic cohesiveness. These are the issues that will be discussed in this article to assist in the decision of which one of the two will be better for your purpose.

WOFF (Web Open Font Format); An Overview

WOFF (Web Open Font Format) is a web font format developed by Mozilla, TypeSupply, and LettError. This font provides a lightweight easy-to-implement compression of data that is suitable for use with CSS @font-face rules. 

WOFF can be regarded as a Container or Wrapper file for font data in already existing formats rather than an actual format in its own right. It uses a compressed version of the same table-based @font-face structure used by True Type, Open Type, and Open Font Format.  

Metadata and Private use data structures, including pre-defined fields that allow foundries and vendors to provide license information if desired, which are included in the WOFF file format. There are two versions of WOFF available. WOFF and WOFF2 are mostly different regarding the compression algorithm they respectively use. 

Benefits of Using WOFF

  1. Font data in WOFF is compressed, and that enables sites that are using WOFF to use less bandwidth and load faster than sites that will be using True Type Files or Open Type files. WOFF2 is even better regarding the compression and will give you a 30% compression gain above the original WOFF.
  2. Many font vendors are unwilling to license their TTF or OTF for use on the web, but they are willing to license WOFF format fonts. This improves the availability of fonts to site designers.
  3. The WOFF format is liked by both proprietary and free software Browser vendors. Because of this, WOFF can become a genuinely universal interoperable font format for the web. This is not likely to happen to other font formats.

How To Use Woff?

You can use the @font-face CSS property to use WOFF fonts for text in web content. It works precisely as True Type Format fonts do. The significant advantage is that it will allow for a more efficient download of your data due to compression by the WOFF algorithm. 

Overview of TFF (True Type Format)

TTF is a format developed in the 1980s. Modern TTF files can also be called True Type Open Type Format fonts. TTF can be useful in extending support to some older browsers. This is especially the case on mobile if you need it.

What is TFF (True Type Format)

A file with the .tff extension represents files based on the True Type File extension technology. True Type Fonts allow the highest quality of display on computer screens without dependency on resolution. All modern applications that are using fonts can work with TFF. The fonts are freely available on the internet and can freely be converted to other font formats like WOFF and OTF.

Conclusion

As a general rule, we can accept that you will use less bandwidth and storage using WOFF. The whole packaging of WOFF will allow you more ease of use and more efficient compression, and usage of less storage space.
