When to use it

About PDF Merge
PDF Merge joins several PDF files into one document, with the order set by how you arrange the files in the list — drag them into place and the pages follow that sequence. It preserves each file's original pages exactly (no rasterizing or re-rendering), so the merged result keeps selectable text and quality. It is the quick fix for bundling a cover letter with a resume, combining scanned receipts for an expense claim, or assembling report sections into one deliverable.
How to use this tool
- Upload the PDF files you want to combine.
- Drag to reorder them as needed.
- Click Merge PDF.
- Download the combined document.
Examples
cover-letter.pdf (1 page) + resume.pdf (2 pages)
application.pdf — 3 pages, cover letter first, resume after
Drag the cover letter above the resume so the pages land in the order a recruiter expects.
receipt-jan.pdf + receipt-feb.pdf + receipt-mar.pdf
expenses-q1.pdf — one file with all three in date order
Arrange the files chronologically before merging and the page order matches.
Tips & gotchas
- The file order in the list is the page order in the output — drag files into place before merging.
- Original pages are kept as-is, so selectable text and quality are preserved (nothing is rasterized).
- Remove a file you added by mistake instead of re-uploading the whole set.
- To reorder individual pages rather than whole files, split a PDF first, then merge the pieces in the order you want.

Frequently asked questions
How do I control the page order in the merged file?+
Drag the files into the order you want before merging. The combined PDF follows the list top to bottom, so the first file's pages come first.
Does merging reduce quality or break text?+
No. Each file's pages are carried over unchanged, so selectable text, fonts, and image quality are preserved in the combined document.
Can I reorder individual pages, not just whole files?+
Merging arranges whole files. To rearrange specific pages, split the PDFs into the pieces you need first, then merge those pieces in the desired order.
Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?+
No. Files are merged in your browser, so your documents stay on your device.
