Merge PDF files by dragging pages into place
Merge should feel visual. Grab pages, drag them into place, reorder the packet, and export one clean PDF without fighting menus or waiting on upload loops.
This flow wins because it is visual and immediate: grab a page, move it, drop it into place, and finish the packet without extra waiting.

Capabilities
- Merge PDFs by dragging pages into one output
- Move pages between documents and reorder visually
- Keep page movement inside one LocalPDF workspace
Why local matters
- Drag-and-drop packet building is faster when the files start on your device. Local workflow removes an average of 45 seconds of upload/download wait time per document.
- Teams often merge contracts, invoices, scans, and appendices that are sensitive by default (100% data residency maintained locally).
- A local-first merge flow feels more direct, more tactile, and easier to trust.
Use cases
- Drag contract appendices into one final packet
- Pull pages from different PDFs into a client handoff file
- Merge scan batches by moving pages visually instead of rebuilding them manually
