    How to merge PDF files

    1. Choose two or more PDF files, or drop them on the box.
    2. Put them in the order you want with Up and Down. Remove any you added by mistake.
    3. Press Merge the PDFs, then Download PDF. The file is called merged.pdf.

    Your files stay on your computer

    The merge happens inside this page. Your PDFs are read by your browser, joined, and handed back to you as a download. Nothing is sent to a server, so contracts, invoices and ID scans stay with you, and there is no upload to wait for.

    What it does and does not do

    • It keeps every page of every file, in order, with each page's text, pictures and layout as they were.
    • It takes up to 60 files and 300 MB in total at a time.
    • It cannot open a PDF that is password protected or damaged. It tells you which file is the problem.
    • It does not compress or edit pages. To pick pages out of a file first, use your PDF viewer's print to PDF, then merge.

    Common uses

    • Joining a cover letter, CV and certificates into one application.
    • Combining receipts into one file for an expense claim.
    • Putting a signed page back into the contract it came from.
