Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. ZapDoc does the work inside your browser tab, using open-source engines compiled to WebAssembly and JavaScript. Your file is read from your device, processed locally, and the result is saved straight back to your device. You can check this yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and run a job — no request carries your file.
Will bookmarks, form fields and links survive?
Form fields and internal links from every file are kept. Bookmarks from the first file are kept; bookmarks from the other files cannot be combined yet, and ZapDoc tells you when that happens instead of dropping them silently.
Can I merge password-protected PDFs?
Yes. You are asked for the password on your device, and the merged file is saved without a password.
Is there a size limit?
There is no page limit. The size limit depends on your device’s memory — usually several hundred megabytes in total — and ZapDoc tells you before starting if a job is too large for your device.
Is ZapDoc free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. ZapDoc is open source under the MIT license.
