Whether you’re combining an invoice with a receipt, or pulling a whole report into one file, merging PDFs is one of the most common document tasks — and one of the easiest. Here’s how to combine several PDFs into a single file, in exactly the order you want, for free.
When merging helps
- Sending one file instead of many — easier for the recipient than five attachments.
- Assembling a report — cover page, body, and appendix in one document.
- Combining scans — turn separately scanned pages into a single PDF.

Good to know
Merging copies pages exactly as they are, so quality is untouched. Each file can be up to 50 MB, and everything is deleted from our servers 30 minutes after processing.
After merging
Merged files can get large — especially if they include scans. If yours is too big to send, run it through the compressor next.
