Merge PDF
Join PDF files into one document. Your files are processed on your device and never uploaded.
Your files stay with you. Your files never leave your browser. This tool runs on your device: nothing is uploaded to our servers, so there is nothing for us to store or see.
How to use it
1Choose or drag in two or more PDF files.
2Put them in the order you want with the arrows or by dragging.
3Press Merge PDF, then download the combined file.

How do I merge PDF files online?
Choose or drag in two or more PDF files, arrange them in the order you want using the arrows or by dragging, then press Merge PDF. The combined file downloads to your device. It takes a few seconds for most documents, and you don't need an account or an email address.
Is it safe to merge confidential PDFs here?
Yes. The merge runs inside your browser, so your files are never sent to our servers or anyone else's. Once the page has loaded you can even switch off the internet and it still works. That makes it suitable for bank statements, contracts and ID documents.
Is there a limit on file size or number of files?
There's no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: up to 50 files at a time, with a warning above 100 MB in total. On a phone, keep the total under about 50 MB to avoid the browser running out of memory.
Why does it say my PDF is password protected?
Encrypted PDFs can't be read by this tool. Open the file with its password in a PDF viewer, then save or print it as a new PDF without the password, and merge that copy instead. Bank statements are often protected this way, usually with a date of birth or account number.
Will the merged PDF keep bookmarks and form fields?
Pages, text, images and links on the pages are kept exactly as they were. Document-level extras such as bookmarks and form calculations belong to the whole original file, so they aren't carried over into the merged one. For most everyday documents that makes no visible difference.
Does merging reduce the quality of my PDF?
No. Pages are copied into the new file as they are, with the same text, fonts and images, so nothing is re-compressed or redrawn. The merged file is usually close to the combined size of the originals. Use Compress PDF afterwards if you need it smaller for email.
Can I change the order of files before merging?
Yes. Drag files up or down on a computer, or use the arrow buttons on a phone, until they're in the right order. The merged PDF follows that order exactly. To reorder individual pages inside a file, use Organise PDF before or after merging. The preview shows the order.
Can I merge PDFs on my phone?
Yes. The tool works in Chrome, Safari and other modern mobile browsers. Choose files from your phone's storage or downloads, arrange them and merge. Phones have less memory than computers, so for very large files a laptop is more reliable. Close other apps if the browser struggles.
Will there be a watermark on the merged file?
No. The merged PDF has no watermark, no added pages and no branding from us. It's your document, combined, nothing more. The tool is free to use as often as you like, without creating an account or giving us your email address. Nothing is added.
Can I merge scanned PDFs and normal PDFs together?
Yes. Scanned pages are pictures inside a PDF and normal pages contain text, but both are pages, and both merge the same way. The scanned pages stay as images, so their text still can't be searched or selected after merging. Page sizes can differ between files too.
Can I merge images and PDFs together?
Convert the images to a PDF first with the JPG to PDF tool, then merge that file with your other PDFs. That two-step route keeps control over page size and margins for the images. Both tools run in your browser, so nothing is uploaded at either step.
Why is my merged PDF so large?
Usually because one of the files contains high-resolution scans or photos. The merged file's size is roughly the sum of its parts. Run the result through Compress PDF; scanned and photo-heavy PDFs often shrink a lot, while text-only PDFs are already small. Check readability after compressing.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has finished loading, yes. The merging code runs in your browser, so you can disconnect from the internet and still merge files. That's also a simple way to confirm for yourself that your documents aren't being sent anywhere. Downloads still save normally while offline.
Can I merge PDFs for a government or university upload?
Yes, it's a common use: putting ID proof, certificates and a form into one file for a single upload field. Check the portal's size limit before uploading. If the merged file is too large, compress it, then check that text is still readable. Name the file clearly.
What should I do if the merge fails?
Check that no file is password protected, then try fewer or smaller files at once, especially on a phone. A damaged PDF can also fail; open it in a viewer and save a fresh copy. If problems continue, try another browser such as Chrome. Nothing is lost.
