# IndiePDF > Combine, reorder, rotate, remove, and extract PDF pages locally in one private browser workspace. Merge and organize PDF pages without uploading a file. The canonical page is https://indiepdf.com/. ## Use the tool Open [IndiePDF](https://indiepdf.com/) to complete the job. The questions below describe the supported input, result, and limits. Every answer names its source next to it. Source: [your PDF files, PDF.js, and @cantoo/pdf-lib](https://indiepdf.com/blog/why-indiepdf-exists/). ## Questions and limits ### How do I merge several PDF files into one? Drop the files onto the workspace, or choose them with the button. IndiePDF opens each one in your browser tab and shows every page as a thumbnail, in file order. Add more files at any point. When the order looks right, download one finished PDF. The output names its file count, page count, and size, so you can see what went in and what came out. ### How do I reorder, rotate, or remove pages in a PDF? Select the pages, then use the buttons: move up or down, rotate left or right, remove, or keep only the selection. On a desktop you can also drag a page card to a new spot. Multi-select works across files, so one action can rotate pages from three sources at once. Undo and redo cover every step, and Clear empties the workspace. ### Can I extract only some pages from a PDF? Yes. Select the pages you want and press Keep only. Every other page leaves the workspace, and the download holds just your selection, in the order you arranged. This is the same move as removing pages, seen from the other side: keep three pages of a fifty page report, or remove three from it, whichever is less clicking. ### Can I add page numbers to the finished PDF? Yes. Turn numbering on, pick one of six positions along the top or bottom edge, and set the starting number, from 0 to 99999. Numbers follow the final page order, so a page you moved gets the number of its new place. Each card previews its number where the export will print it. The export prints it upright after any rotation, in Helvetica, sized to the page. Numbering is off by default and changes nothing else. ### Why does IndiePDF refuse a password protected PDF? IndiePDF does not open encrypted PDFs yet, and says so instead of guessing. Remove the password in the program that set it, or in a viewer that already has it, then import the file without its password. A signed PDF is different: it opens, but IndiePDF warns that saving a changed copy invalidates the signature, and the download waits until you confirm that you know. ### Does the finished PDF keep bookmarks, forms, and text? Pages are copied as pages, not rendered to images, so text stays selectable and vector graphics stay sharp. Bookmarks and interactive form fields might not survive the new document. IndiePDF does not compress, repair, sign, redact, or edit text, and it does not claim to. If the job needs one of those, do it in a dedicated tool after the pages are in order. ## Promises - The core is free: no account, no card, no premium plan, no upgrade nag, no hidden paywall. - Private lookup activity is never published. - Analytics is currently off.
