# Merge PDF
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Combine multiple PDF files into a single document. You can merge entire files in a specific order, or switch to Page Mode for granular control over individual pages from every uploaded PDF.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How It Works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Upload two or more PDF files by clicking the drop zone or dragging them in.
|
||
|
|
2. Choose between **File Mode** and **Page Mode** using the toggle at the top.
|
||
|
|
3. In File Mode, drag files to reorder them and optionally specify page ranges (e.g., `1-3, 5`) for each file. Leave the range blank to include all pages.
|
||
|
|
4. In Page Mode, drag and drop individual page thumbnails to build your exact page sequence.
|
||
|
|
5. Click **Merge PDFs** to combine everything into one file. The merged PDF downloads automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Two merge modes: File Mode for quick whole-file combining, Page Mode for per-page control
|
||
|
|
- Drag-and-drop reordering in both modes with smooth animations
|
||
|
|
- Page range syntax (e.g., `1-3, 5, 8-10`) lets you cherry-pick pages without switching to Page Mode
|
||
|
|
- Lazy-loaded page thumbnails keep the UI responsive even with large documents
|
||
|
|
- No limit on number of files or total page count
|
||
|
|
- Preserves original PDF quality with no re-encoding
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Options

|
||
|
|
| **Pages input** | Per-file text field accepting ranges like `1-3, 5` to include only specific pages |
|
||
|
|
|

## Use Cases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Combining separate chapter PDFs into a single book or report
|
||
|
|
- Merging a cover letter and resume into one application document
|
||
|
|
- Pulling specific pages from multiple source documents into a consolidated file
|
||
|
|
- Assembling scanned receipts or invoices into one archive PDF
|
||
|
|
- Creating a presentation handout from slides across multiple decks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Use Page Mode when you need to interleave pages from different files rather than appending one file after another.
|
||
|
|
- You can add more files after the initial upload using the **Add More Files** button without losing your current arrangement.
|
||
|
|
- Page ranges are 1-indexed, so `1` refers to the first page of that file.
