How to merge PDFs in a few steps

Combining several documents usually takes less than a minute.

Step 1: Open the merger

Go to Merge PDF. The tool loads instantly and runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install, no account to create.

Step 2: Add your files

Drag and drop your PDFs, or click to browse. Each file can be up to 100 MB. Since everything runs locally, your documents never leave your device.

Step 3: Arrange the order

Use drag-and-drop to reorder the files — and, if needed, individual pages — so the combined document reads in the correct sequence. This is the step people forget; get it right here and you won't need to fix it later.

Step 4: Merge and download

Preview the result to confirm the order and content, then download your single combined PDF. Repeat as often as you like.

Tips

  • Merge files you use together often (e.g. resume plus cover letter) into one shareable PDF
  • Keep originals separate in case you need an individual file later
  • Use the preview before downloading to catch ordering mistakes
