How to merge PDF files
Use the PDF merger to combine separate PDF files into one cleaner document for applications, reports, receipts, or document sharing.
Recommended workflow
- Upload the PDF files you want to combine and arrange them in the final reading order.
- Merge the files, then open the result to check page order, orientation, and completeness.
- Download the final PDF and keep the original files until the merged version is verified.
Before relying on the result
- Do not upload confidential, legal, medical, banking, or identity documents unless you are comfortable processing them in a browser tool.
- Check file size limits before sending the merged document by email or through an online form.
- Use authorized documents only and keep required signatures or stamps intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does PDF compression reduce file size?
PDF compression reduces file size by re-compressing embedded images, removing redundant internal data, and optimizing the PDF structure. The degree of reduction depends on how much image content the PDF contains.
Will compression affect text readability?
Text in PDFs is stored as vector data and is typically unaffected by compression. Image quality may reduce slightly depending on the compression level you select.
How much can I reduce the file size?
PDFs with many large embedded images can often be reduced by 50-80%. PDFs with mostly text and minimal images may only compress 10-20% since text is already stored efficiently.
Is this useful for compressing scanned documents?
Yes. Scanned PDFs are essentially image files wrapped in PDF format and typically respond well to compression, often significantly reducing file size for sharing by email.
