Merging PDFs should take a minute. This free tool does it in your browser, so your documents never leave your device.

Part of Free tools

Short answer

Open the free merge tool, add your PDFs, put them in order and download one combined file. It runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

  2. Drop in your PDF files or choose them from your computer.
  3. Reorder them into the order you want.
  4. Merge, then download the single PDF.

Fix pages afterwards

When merging helps

  • Sending a contract together with its attachments as a single file.
  • Combining scanned pages from different sessions into one document.
  • Assembling a report from sections written by different people.
  • Putting receipts or invoices into one file for an expense claim.

Is it private?

The merge tool runs in your browser, so the PDFs never leave your device and nothing is uploaded. There is no sign-up and no watermark on the merged file.

Tips

  • Name the files so they sort correctly before you add them.
  • Check the merged file at full size before sending it.
  • Very large files take longer because your own computer does the work.
