Combine PDF files into one in any order, choosing which pages to take from each -- right in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
Add two or more PDFs (or one PDF with a page selection) to merge them in the order shown.
This tool combines several PDF files into one, in whatever order you choose, without uploading them anywhere. You can also pick which pages to take from each file -- the first three pages of one document, a single page of another, everything from page 8 onwards of a third. The merge runs entirely in your browser, so confidential contracts, statements and scans never leave your device.
Click the upload area or drop your PDFs onto it; you can add more at any time. Each file appears in a numbered list with its size and page count. Use the arrow buttons to change the order -- the merged file follows the list from top to bottom -- and the X to remove a file. To use only some pages of a file, type them into its "Pages to include" box; leave it blank to include every page. Click Merge, check the page count and size of the result, and download merged.pdf.
Separate pages and ranges with commas. 1-3, 5 takes pages 1, 2, 3 and 5. 8- runs from page 8 to the end, and -3 takes the first three pages. A backwards range such as 5-1 takes those pages in reverse order, and listing a page twice includes it twice. Pages are added in the order you type them, so 3, 1, 2 reorders a file's pages as well as selecting them.
Suppose you need to send a single application file: a 2-page cover letter, pages 1-4 of a 12-page report, and the signature page -- page 6 -- of a contract. Add the three files in that order, leave the cover letter's pages box blank, type 1-4 for the report and 6 for the contract, then click Merge. The result has 2 + 4 + 1 = 7 pages, in exactly that sequence. If you then realise the contract page should come first, move the contract to the top of the list and merge again; nothing needs re-uploading.
Merging copies whole pages, with everything that lives on them: text, images, vector graphics, fonts, and web links. Some things belong to a document rather than to its pages, and those don't carry over:
merged.pdf; rename it to something descriptive straight away, especially if you merge several sets in a row.A PDF that needs a password to open can't be read until it is unlocked, so the tool flags it in the list and leaves it out. If you know the password, remove it first with Unlock PDF, then add the unlocked copy. To protect the finished, merged file, run it through Password Protect PDF afterwards.
No. The PDFs are read, merged and saved inside your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere, which also means there's no upload wait and no server-side size limit.
There's no fixed limit. Because everything happens in memory on your device, very large files -- hundreds of megabytes in total -- can exceed what a browser tab can handle, especially on phones. If that happens, merge in smaller groups and then merge the results.
Each source PDF carries its own embedded fonts and images, and those are copied with its pages. If several files embed the same font, the merged file contains several copies of it. To make a large merged file smaller, try re-exporting it from a PDF editor with image compression.
Yes, as long as you choose some pages. Adding one PDF and typing a page list such as 5, 1-4 produces a new file with those pages in that order -- a quick way to extract or reorder pages.
No. Pages are copied as they are -- text stays as selectable text and images aren't re-compressed -- so the merged pages look exactly like the originals.
