What People Actually Merge

A month of logs

One log file per day - or logs from several machines - into one file you can search or attach to a ticket.

Twelve monthly exports

A CSV per month, put back together for the year, in the order the months happened.

JSONL / NDJSON shards

part-0001.jsonl, part-0002.jsonl ... merged back into the one file the next step wants.

Numbered SQL fragments

Schema, tables, indexes and seed data, joined in the order you choose rather than the order the names sort in.

Files in different encodings

UTF-8 here, GBK there, UTF-16 from a Windows app - merged into one file with a single encoding.

Logs in time order

Logs from several machines, interleaved by timestamp instead of appended one file after another.

Duplicate rows, gone

Overlapping exports merged with the repeated rows (and repeated headers) removed as they are written.

Related Tools

Need the opposite - cutting one big file into smaller pieces? Use BigTextFileSplitter, or split a TXT file. Opening a very large log instead of merging it? Use BigTextFileViewer. Converting between formats after merging? Use DataFileConverter. Prefer the browser? merge TXT files or merge CSV files.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats does TextMerger support?

TextMerger mainly supports standard .txt plain text files, .csv CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file, .tsv TSV (Tab-Separated Values) file, JSONL/NDJSON/LDJSON (JSON Lines) file. It also works well with text-based files like log files and script files.

Is my data secure while using this tool?

Yes. TextMerger is a fully offline desktop application. All file processing happens locally on your computer, no files are uploaded to any server.

Can I change the order of files before merging?

Absolutely. You can reorder files freely before starting the merge process.

Does it support different text encodings?

Yes. The tool supports most common text encodings including UTF-8, ANSI and ASCII to avoid garbled text after merging.

Is there a limit on the number of files to merge?

There is no strict quantity limit. It can handle large batches of text files for daily office and personal use.

How do I merge text files into one?

Open TextMerger, add the text files (or a whole folder), put them in the order you want, and click merge. Line breaks and the original encoding are kept, and the result is written to a single new file.

Is merging the same as combining or joining text files?

Yes - merging, combining and joining text files are the same job: putting several files into one, in the order you choose. TextMerger does it for TXT, CSV, TSV, JSONL and log files, locally and without a command line.

Can I merge text files in a specific order?

Yes. The file list can be reordered by dragging, so the merged document follows your order rather than the file name. The list can also be saved as a session and reused.

Can I merge text files online?

Yes, for small files - see merge TXT files or merge CSV files. For a large batch, or for files you would rather not upload, the desktop tool is faster and keeps everything local.
