Questions

Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. PDF Harbor runs entirely in your browser. Your files are read and processed on your device and are never sent to a server — you can check it in the counter on the home page or with your browser’s network tools.
How much smaller will it get?
It depends on the content. PDFs with photos or scans often shrink a lot; text-only PDFs are already small.
Can I undo it?
Yes. If you don’t like the result, press Undo.

They will be merged in this order, or continue with just one.
