How It Works
- Upload PDFs: Select multiple files to merge or a single file to split.

Privacy Protocol: 100% Client-Side
PDFs often contain highly sensitive data like financial statements, legal contracts, or personal ID scans. Uploading these to third-party servers is a massive risk. PDF Workbench uses PDF-lib to manipulate files directly in your browser memory, so your documentsnever leave your computer.
