How to merge PDF files on Windows
- Open the folder with your PDFs and drag them into the box above (or click it and select them).
- Put the files in order with the arrows.
- Click "Merge PDF" and save the result.
Why Windows needs a separate tool
Microsoft Edge and the Windows "Microsoft Print to PDF" printer can view and create PDFs, but neither can combine several PDFs into one. The usual answers are installing a PDF editor or uploading your documents to a website. Pdfverter is a third option: a web page that does the merging on your own PC, so private documents stay private and there is nothing to install or update.
Tips
- Need to merge scans saved as JPG? Use Image to PDF first, then merge.
- If the merged file is too big to email, run it through Compress PDF afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work on a work laptop where I can't install software?
Yes. It runs in Edge or Chrome like any website and needs no admin rights.
Are my PDFs uploaded anywhere?
No. Pdfverter processes your files inside your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, so it is safe for contracts, statements and other confidential documents.
How many PDFs can I combine?
Free: 3 files at a time, up to 20 MB each. Pro: unlimited files up to 200 MB each.
