Merging PDF files is one of the most common document tasks — whether you're combining a cover letter with a resume, joining multiple reports into one package, or assembling scanned pages into a single file.
Why Merge PDFs Online?
Traditional desktop software like Adobe Acrobat works, but it's expensive and requires installation. Many free online PDF mergers upload your files to remote servers, which raises privacy concerns for sensitive documents.
Browser-based tools offer a better alternative: your files stay on your device, processing happens locally, and you get the result instantly without waiting for uploads or downloads from a server.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Open the PDF Merge tool — Navigate to the PDF Merge page.
- Add your files — Drag and drop your PDF files, or click to browse. You can add as many files as needed.
- Arrange the order — Drag files to reorder them. The final merged PDF will follow this sequence.
- Click Merge — The tool combines all files into one PDF document.
- Download the result — Save the merged PDF to your device.
Tips for Better Results
- Check page orientation — Make sure all PDFs have consistent page sizes. Mixed sizes (A4 + Letter) will work but may look inconsistent.
- Keep originals — Always keep your original files. The merge creates a new file, but it's good practice to have backups.
- Verify the output — Open the merged PDF and scroll through all pages to confirm nothing is missing or out of order.
