Our Story
Quick Merge was founded in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador with a simple mission: to provide professional file processing tools that respect user privacy. We noticed that most online file tools required uploading sensitive documents to remote servers, compromising security and privacy.
Our solution was to build a suite of tools that processes all files directly in the user's browser using modern web technologies like WebAssembly and Web Workers. This means your files never leave your computer, yet you still get professional-grade results.
Our Mission
To empower individuals and businesses with secure, privacy-first file processing tools that combine professional functionality with uncompromising data protection.
Our Values
Privacy First
We believe your files should remain yours. That's why all processing happens locally in your browser.
Accessibility
Professional tools should be available to everyone. No sign-ups, no accounts, completely free forever.
Innovation
We leverage cutting-edge web technologies to deliver desktop-class performance in your browser.
Sustainability
By processing files locally, we reduce server energy consumption and minimize our environmental impact.
Our Team
Based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, our small but dedicated team brings together expertise in web development, security, and user experience design.

Our Technology
How It Works
Quick Merge uses a sophisticated browser-based architecture:
- WebAssembly: For near-native performance in PDF processing and file operations
- Web Workers: To handle large files without blocking the main thread
- Modern JavaScript APIs: For efficient file handling and memory management
- Zero-Knowledge Architecture: Files are processed entirely in your browser's memory
Why St. John's?
We chose to establish our operations in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador because of the region's growing tech ecosystem, commitment to innovation, and strong community values. Being based in Atlantic Canada allows us to build tools with a global perspective while maintaining local roots.
