Why Merge PDFs?

Combining separate documents into one PDF makes them easier to send, archive, and read in order. Contracts, scanned pages, and reports often arrive as individual files that are better together.

Before You Merge

  • Gather the PDFs you want to combine.
  • Decide the final reading order.
  • Keep the originals as a backup.

Step 1: Open the PDF Merger

Open the Imgira PDF Merger. Processing happens in your browser, so your documents are not uploaded to a server.

Step 2: Add Your Files

Drag the PDFs into the tool or browse to select them. Each file appears in the list with its page count.

Step 3: Arrange the Order

Reorder the files by dragging them into the sequence you want. The first file will be the first pages of the merged document.

Step 4: Merge

Start the merge. The tool combines the documents into a single PDF while preserving text and layout where possible.

Step 5: Download and Verify

Save the combined file and open it to confirm the order and content are correct. For sensitive documents, the local-first approach means nothing left a server during the process.

Tips for Clean Merges

Name files clearly before merging so the order is obvious. If a scan is huge, compress it first. Keep a copy of the originals until you have verified the final PDF.
