How to merge PDF files for free, without installing anything

Combine several PDFs, or PDFs and photos, into one document in the order you want, without uploading them.

Quick answer

Open Merge PDF, add your files, drag or use the arrows to set the order and select Merge. Photos can be mixed in with the PDFs.

Steps

  1. Open Merge PDF and add all the files at once.
  2. Put them in order. Use the move up and move down buttons if dragging is awkward on your phone.
  3. If you added photos, choose how they fit on the page.
  4. Select Merge and download the combined PDF.

Good habits

  • Name files 01-cover.pdf, 02-report.pdf so they sort correctly.
  • Check the page count after merging.
  • Large merged files can be shrunk with Compress PDF.
  • Need only some pages from each file? Split first, then merge.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a limit on how many files I can merge?

Only your device's memory. Very large sets work best in batches.
