How to Merge PDF Files

Merging multiple PDF files into a single document is a common task that can help you organize your files better. This tutorial will guide you through the process step by step.

Step 1: Upload Your PDF Files

Click on the "Drop files here or click to browse" area to select the PDF files you want to merge.

You can:

• Drag and drop multiple PDF files at once
• Click to browse and select files from your computer
• Upload as many PDFs as you need to merge

Step 2: Reorder Your Files

After uploading, you'll see all your PDF files listed. The order in which they appear is the order they'll be merged.

Tip: Make sure your files are in the correct order before merging. You can rearrange them by dragging and dropping if needed.

Step 3: Merge and Download

Once you're satisfied with the file order, click the "Merge PDFs" button. The tool will combine all your PDFs into a single document.

After the merge is complete:

1. A success message will appear
2. Click the "Download" button to save your merged PDF
3. The merged file will be saved as merged.pdf on your computer
