Frequently Asked Questions

There are no artificial limits on the number of PDF files you can combine. The actual limit depends on:

  • Your device's available memory (RAM)
  • Browser capabilities (most modern browsers handle hundreds of files)
  • Total combined file size
  • For very large collections (1000+ files), consider creating multiple ZIP archives

Yes, ZIP archives use compression by default. However, PDF files are already compressed, so additional compression may be minimal. Key points:

  • PDFs are internally compressed (DEFLATE algorithm)
  • ZIP adds container-level compression
  • Overall size reduction: 0-20% depending on PDF content
  • For maximum compression, use Compress PDF before creating ZIP

  • No data collection or tracking
  • Files processed locally using Web Workers
  • No network transmission of your documents
  • Open-source libraries with security audits

Currently, this tool creates standard ZIP archives without password protection. For secure archives:

  • Consider encrypting PDFs first with our Encrypt PDF tool
  • Password-protected ZIPs can be created with 7-Zip, WinZip, or macOS Archive Utility

PDF to ZIP conversion doesn't modify the actual PDF content, so all variations are preserved:

  • Different page sizes (A4, Letter, Legal, etc.) remain unchanged
  • Portrait and landscape orientations are preserved
  • Color profiles and image resolutions stay intact
  • If you need uniform page sizes, use Fix Page Size tool first
