How to merge PDF files online
Upload PDF files
Select or drag and drop two or more PDF files into the merge tool.
Check file details
Review file name, size, page count and status for every uploaded PDF.
Arrange file order
Use Move Up and Move Down to arrange PDFs in the exact final order.
Enter output file name
Choose a name such as combined-report.pdf or application-documents.pdf for the final merged PDF.
Merge and download
Click Merge PDF Files and download the combined PDF file to your device.
The order shown in the tool becomes the final merged PDF order. Keep cover pages, application forms or main reports at the top, then place supporting documents such as certificates, invoices, receipts or scanned attachments below them.
Use a clear output file name such as combined-report.pdf, application-documents.pdf or merged-invoices.pdf so the final PDF is easy to identify later.

PDF merge tips

Important note
Ensure your PDFs are in the correct order before merging. The top file appears first in the final output, and each PDF is added from first page to last page.
Your original files remain unchanged. Always open the merged PDF after download to confirm page order and completeness before sharing, printing or submitting it. Password-protected, corrupted or unsupported PDFs may not process correctly.
