How to merge PDF files
- Click the box above or drag in the PDF files you want to combine.
- Use the arrows to put the files in the order you want.
- Click "Merge PDF" and download your combined document.
Why merge PDFs?
Upload forms for job applications, visas, mortgages and insurance claims often accept only one file. Merging your CV, cover letter and certificates — or all your scanned receipts — into one PDF solves that in seconds.
One file is also easier to email, print and archive than a folder of separate documents, and the reader sees everything in the right order.
Good to know
- All pages are copied as they are: text stays selectable and links, sizes and orientation are kept.
- Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked before they can be merged.

Yes. You can merge PDF files for free with up to 3 files at a time (up to 20 MB each), with no sign-up and no watermark. Pro removes the file limit, handles files up to 200 MB and processes whole batches into one ZIP.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Pdfverter runs entirely in your browser. Your PDFs are processed on your own device and never leave it, which makes it safe for contracts, bank statements, medical records and other confidential documents.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Pdfverter works in any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox) on desktop and mobile. There is nothing to install.
Can I change the order of the files?
Yes. Use the up and down arrows next to each file before merging. The pages of each file stay in their original order.
Is there a limit on the number of pages?
No page limit. The free version merges up to 3 files at a time; Pro merges as many files as you like.
