Merge PDF

How to merge PDF files

1. Select your PDFs, or drop them on the page. You can pick several at once.
2. Check the list. Remove a file with the X. Use Add more to include further files.
3. Select the merge button and wait a moment.
4. Download the merged PDF. Merge More Files starts again with a clean list.

Files are joined in the order they appear in the list, which is the order you added them. There is no drag and drop yet. Add the files in the order you want, or fix the page order afterwards with Reorder PDF.

When people use it

• Putting a CV and certificates in one file for a job application. Add the CV first.
• Joining scanned pages from different scans into one document.
• Combining invoices or receipts for one expense claim.
• Joining forms and attachments for a visa or school application.

Tips and limits

• The merged file is about as big as the files added together. If an upload form has a size limit, use Compress PDF afterwards.
• Password-protected PDFs cannot be merged. Unlock them first with Unlock PDF.
• Pages are copied as they are. They are not turned into pictures, so text stays selectable and quality does not drop. Things that live outside the pages, such as bookmarks, are not guaranteed to carry over.
• Only PDF files work here. To include a photo or a scan saved as an image, change it into a PDF first with Image to PDF.
• Check the file names in the list before you merge. They are the easiest way to see whether the order is right, so give your files clear names first.
• Many large files need a lot of memory. A phone may struggle where a computer does not.

Privacy: what happens to your files

Your files are joined on your device. Nothing is uploaded to DocsBee. As with any website, our host may log the page request, such as your IP address.
