# Merge PDF for architects

_Updated July 2026 · Arthize · https://arthize.com/for/architects/merge-pdf_

Arthize lets architecture teams merge PDF files in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Merging PDFs combines several documents — and any JPG or PNG pages — into one file losslessly, so text stays selectable and images stay sharp.

## Why architects merge PDF files

An architect merges plan sheets and schedules into one issue set, compares two drawing revisions for changes, and exports key sheets to images for a client presentation.

**Built for plan sets.** Whether it's plan sets, schedules, specifications, Arthize's merge pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Designs and client plans are proprietary; private processing protects the practice's work.

## What matters when you merge PDF files

A proper merge is lossless because it copies existing page objects instead of re-rendering them.

You can reorder individual pages, not just whole files, before merging.

Merging never adds a watermark, even on the free plan.
