A private alternative to iLovePDF.
Nothing leaves your device.

Many cloud-based PDF tools — including iLovePDF — process your document on their servers, which means uploading it first. NearPDF does the same everyday PDF tasks (merge, split, rotate, watermark) entirely inside your browser, so your files never leave your device.

Why merge PDFs without sending them to a server?

Sensitive documents like contracts and IDs shouldn't leave your device just to combine a few pages. NearPDF runs the entire merge process locally in your browser, so nothing is transmitted anywhere.

Does NearPDF upload my PDF to a server, the way cloud PDF tools do?

No. NearPDF has no server-side processing at all — everything runs locally in your browser. A strict Content-Security-Policy technically blocks any request that could send your file data out, and our own end-to-end tests verify zero external requests during the whole flow.

Is NearPDF free, and do I need to sign up like some PDF sites require?

It's completely free with no account and no sign-up. There's no usage limit tied to a plan or a daily task cap.

Does it work offline?

Once the page is loaded, all processing happens locally in your browser.
