Is it free to combine multiple PDFs into one file on Chromebook?

Yes. Every core FernPDF tool is free, with no account, no watermark, and no trial limits.

Where does the combined document end up on Chromebook?

It downloads straight to the Files app, under Downloads, ChromeOS's single file manager for anything a browser saves, the normal place Chrome on ChromeOS saves anything, not a special location just for FernPDF.

How many PDFs can I combine at once?

As many as your device has memory for. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no per-file size cap and no queue, the practical limit is how much RAM the browser is willing to hand a single tab, which on an ordinary laptop is dozens of large documents.

What do the two toggles do?

“Add page numbers” stamps a single continuous count across the whole merged file, so the numbering runs straight through instead of restarting at each source document. “Flatten form fields” bakes filled-in form values into the page as static content, which is worth doing before you send a completed pack to someone who should not be able to change the answers.

How to combine multiple PDFs into one file on Chromebook

You don't need special software to combine multiple PDFs into one file on Chromebook. FernPDF runs entirely in Chrome on ChromeOS: open the tool, drop your file, download the result. The merged file is assembled in your browser's memory and downloads instantly. It never touches a server.

On Chromebook, you drag it into the drop zone, or click to open the Files app picker. Once the combined document is ready, it downloads to the Files app, under Downloads, ChromeOS's single file manager for anything a browser saves.

There's no separate installed-apps layer to manage: a Chromebook's Files app is also where an Android app's saved files and a Linux container's files would show up, so Downloads is the one place to check.

Chromebooks are built around the browser, which makes them a perfect match for browser-native PDF tools, no Android app or Linux container needed.
