or drop PDFs to merge here
Drop multiple PDFs in, drag them to reorder, click Merge. iLovePDF caps free users at 25; we don't cap at all.
One file per page, custom page ranges (1-3, 5, 7-10), or fixed groups (every 5 pages).
Open a PDF, see every page as a thumbnail, drag to reorder, delete pages you don't want, save.
Drop a folder of PDFs and they merge in filename order. Reorder by dragging if you need to.
Runs locally on your computer. No queue, no upload bar, no bandwidth cost. Often faster than the online tools.
Add to Home Screen on iPhone or Android — it installs like an app. No App Store needed.
