PDF Garden
Your files never leave your device

Merge PDF files into one document

Add two or more PDFs and their pages join the same grid. Drag the thumbnails until the order is right, then download one combined file. The merge happens in your browser.

Nothing is uploaded. Your browser reads the files and builds the combined PDF, and the originals on your device are left alone.

How to merge PDFs

PDF Garden is a PDF merger that runs in your browser, and merging here is ordering. Every page from every file lands in one list, and the export follows it.

  1. Add your PDFs

    Click Select PDF, or drag two or more PDF files anywhere on the page.

  2. Set the merge order

    The first thumbnail becomes page 1 of the merged file. Drag any page to move it, including pages that came from a different file.

  3. Download

    Click Download PDF to save one file with every selected page. Pages you skipped stay out.

Merging files with different page sizes

Pages keep their own size and orientation. A landscape scan stays landscape and an A4 page stays A4, because PDF Garden copies each page as it is instead of scaling everything to match.

If the page order matters more than adding files, start by reordering PDF pages. To drop a cover sheet or a blank before you combine, remove pages from the PDF. And if only part of a document belongs in the merged file, extract just those pages. The PDF organizer home page walks through the rest of the workspace.

FAQ

What people ask most before combining files.

Can I merge PDFs without uploading them?
There is no upload step. Click Select PDF or drag the files onto the page, and the browser reads them and builds the merged file locally. Closing the tab clears everything.
Can I change the page order before merging?
Yes. Every page from every file lands in one grid, and you can drag any thumbnail to a new spot. The first thumbnail becomes page 1 of the merged PDF, so arrange the grid until it reads the way you want.
How do I leave pages out while merging?
Click a page to deselect it. It turns grey and drops out of the export, and one more click brings it back. Select All and Deselect All handle the bulk cases.
Does merging change the original PDFs?
No. The merge reads the copies you added and writes a new file to download. The PDFs on your device stay as they were.
