Is my PDF confidential and safe when merging on Docuvate?

Yes, 100%. Traditional sites like iLovePDF and Smallpdf transmit your PDF across the internet to their servers. Docuvate processes your entire PDF file using local WebAssembly in browser RAM. Zero bytes are ever sent to any remote server.

Is there a file size limit or page count cap?

No artificial limits! Because processing occurs inside your device's memory, you are only limited by your device's available RAM. You can merge hundreds of pages without subscriptions or paywalls.

Does Docuvate add watermarks to merged PDFs?

Never. All output files are clean, unwatermarked, and preserve your original font glyphs, vector lines, and embedded metadata.

Can I merge PDF files completely offline in Airplane Mode?

Yes! Docuvate is an installable PWA. All required PDF engines (PDF-Lib and PDF.js) are bundled locally. You can disconnect your internet and merge files anywhere.
