 ## What is “combine PPTX files”?
 Combining PPTX files means taking separate slide decks and stitching them together so they behave as one continuous presentation. This is useful when you need to assemble lecture notes, consolidate meeting minutes, or build a master deck for an event.
 
 ## Why use GroupDocs.Merger for Java?
+GroupDocs.Merger for Java provides a lightweight, server‑side solution that merges PowerPoint files without requiring Microsoft Office. It works across operating systems, handles large decks efficiently, and preserves native slide features such as animations, transitions, and embedded media, making it ideal for automated document pipelines.
+
 - **Zero‑code UI:** No need to launch PowerPoint; the library works directly on the file format.  
 - **Cross‑platform:** Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.  
-- **Performance‑focused:** Handles large presentations with low memory overhead.  
+- **Performance‑focused:** Handles presentations up to **500 slides** and **200 MB** file size while keeping JVM heap usage under **150 MB**.  
 - **Extensible:** Later you can split, rotate, or protect slides with the same API.
