Merging PDFs is one of those everyday jobs that should be instant and free — combining scanned pages into a single document, stitching a cover letter to a CV, or bundling receipts for an expense claim. Here is how to merge PDF files for free without uploading anything to a server.
When you need to merge PDFs
- Joining a cover letter, CV and portfolio into one application file.
- Combining individually scanned pages into a single contract.
- Bundling invoices or receipts for accounting.
- Assembling chapters or sections into one report.
Step-by-step
- Open the PDF merger.
- Drop in two or more PDFs (you can add more at any time).
- Drag the files — or use the up/down arrows — to set the order.
- Click Merge all (or press Enter).
- Download your combined PDF.
Everything happens locally in your browser, so even sensitive documents like contracts and statements never leave your device.
Getting the page order right
Order matters: the merged file follows the list top to bottom. Each item shows its page count, so you can confirm you are combining the right documents before you merge. Need only certain pages from a file first? Use the PDF splitter to extract them, then merge the results.
After merging
A combined PDF — especially from scans — can get large. If you need to email or upload it, run it through the PDF compressor to shrink it, or compress to an exact size if a form imposes a limit. You can also add page numbers or a watermark to the finished document.
