About Mergely
Mergely is a free, open-source PDF toolkit that runs entirely in your browser. No sign-ups, no file uploads, no server-side processing. Your documents stay on your device from start to finish.
Why Mergely?
Most PDF tools require you to upload your files to a remote server. That means your private documents — contracts, tax forms, medical records — pass through someone else's infrastructure. Mergely takes a different approach: everything runs client-side using modern web technologies like pdf-lib and the PDF.js rendering engine.
What you can do

- Compress — Reduce PDF file size while maintaining readable quality.

- Page Numbers — Add configurable page numbering at any position on the page.
- Protect & Unlock — Encrypt your PDF with a password or unlock a protected file.
