You have 12 PDF invoices and your accountant wants one file. Or you scanned a document page by page and need to combine them. Merging PDFs should take 10 seconds, not require downloading software or creating an account.
How It Works
- Upload your PDFs. Drag and drop multiple files, or click to browse. No file size limit.
- Reorder if needed. Drag files into the order you want them in the final document.
- Merge and download. One click. Your combined PDF downloads immediately.
What Happens During Merging
| Element | What Happens | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Page sizes | Preserved as-is | Mixed A4/Letter pages stay their original size |
| Bookmarks | Preserved | Each file bookmarks are kept |
| Links | Internal links may break | Cross-document links need manual fixing |
| Forms | Preserved | Fillable fields remain fillable |
| Passwords | Must be removed first | Cannot merge password-protected PDFs without the password |
| File size | Sum of all files (approximately) | No additional compression by default |
Tips for Large Merges
- Compress first, merge second. If the combined file will be too large, use our PDF Compressor on individual files before merging.
- Check page orientation. Scanned pages sometimes have mixed portrait/landscape. Fix rotation before merging.
- Name your output file. "merged.pdf" is not helpful 6 months later. Use descriptive names like "2026-Q1-invoices.pdf".
Merge your PDFs — free, instant, no signup.
