A PDF merger combines multiple PDF files into one document in your chosen order. Most merge jobs run locally in your browser without uploading files to a server.

Join PDF documents online when you need one attachment from several files. Upload scans, exports, or chapters, set the order, and download a single combined PDF. Processing runs on your device for privacy.

Joining is the same operation as merging—searchers often say join when assembling application or closing packets.

If the joined file exceeds an upload limit, compress it afterward before sending.

How to use this tool

Upload your PDFs, drag to set order, then merge. Download the joined document when processing completes.

Worked example

Example: join lease.pdf, addendum.pdf, and signature_page.pdf into one packet for a property manager upload portal.

How it works

Upload two or more PDF files, arrange them in the order you want, then merge. Pages are combined in that order into a single downloadable PDF. Merging works on your device—files are not uploaded or stored.

Limitations

Encrypted PDFs must be unlocked before merging. Complex form fields and bookmarks may not survive merge in all viewers.

Privacy and file handling

Your data stays on your device and is not uploaded.

Is there a file limit?

Very large files may slow your browser. Split or compress first if you hit device memory limits.

Will bookmarks survive joining?

Simple joins preserve pages; complex bookmarks and form fields may not survive all paths.
