Merge PDF Files

Combine several PDF files into one, in the order you choose.

Your photo is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to a server.

When you need this

The application wants everything in one file

Visa portals and university applications frequently allow a single upload for supporting evidence, so several separate PDFs have to become one.

You received documents separately

Bank statements, employment letters, and travel bookings usually arrive as individual PDFs from different places and need combining into the bundle the form expects.

You want a specific order

Putting the most important documents first makes a bundle easier for a case officer to read, which is worth doing even when order is not required.

How to do it properly

  1. 1

    Collect every file first

    Merging in one pass is easier than repeatedly merging a growing file, and avoids losing track of what is already included.

  2. 2

    Arrange them in the order you want

    The merged file follows the order shown exactly. Lead with whatever the form lists first.

  3. 3

    Merge and check the page count

    Confirm the total matches the sum of the originals — that is the quickest way to catch a file that failed to load.

If something goes wrong

One of my PDFs will not merge

It is probably password-protected or encrypted, which is common with bank statements. Open it, enter the password, and save an unprotected copy first.

The merged file is very large

Scanned PDFs contain full-resolution images. If the portal has a size cap, compress the images before they become PDFs.

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?

No. The merge happens entirely in your browser, which matters here more than for photos — these files often contain bank details and addresses.

Frequently asked questions

How do I merge PDFs?
Add two or more PDF files, arrange them with the arrows, then click Merge PDFs and download the combined file.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Merging happens in your browser using your device; your documents never leave it.
Why won't some PDFs merge?
Password-protected or corrupted PDFs can't be read. Remove the protection first, then try again.
