Managing PDF files can often be a cumbersome task, especially when you need to combine multiple documents into one file. Traditionally, this required uploading your sensitive documents to a third-party server.
However, with recent advancements in web technologies like WebAssembly, it's now possible to perform complex PDF manipulations directly in your browser. This means your files never leave your device, ensuring maximum privacy and security.

There are several compelling reasons to use a browser-based local tool:
- Privacy: Your data stays on your machine.
