Merge, split and rotate PDFs

How to merge PDF files

1. Add the PDFs. Drop them all in at once, or add more later. Their pages appear in the order you added them.
2. Arrange the pages. Drag them into order, or use the arrow buttons on a phone. You can mix pages from different files in any order.
3. Click "Save as one PDF". The merged file downloads straight away.

How to split a PDF

Add the PDF, then under "Split into separate files" choose:

• Every page into its own PDF: a 10-page document becomes 10 files, downloaded together as a ZIP.
• By page ranges: type the parts you want, separated by commas. 1-3, 4, 5- makes three files: pages 1 to 3, page 4, and page 5 to the end. To extract just a few pages, enter only those, like 2, 7-8.

Ranges use the page numbers shown on the thumbnails, so you can reorder, rotate or delete pages first and then split.

Rotate and delete pages

Scanned documents often have the odd page sideways or upside down. Use ↺ and ↻ under a page to turn it, or "Rotate all" for the whole document, then save. The rotation is written into the PDF itself, so it stays fixed in every viewer, unlike rotating the view in a PDF reader.

To remove blank or unwanted pages, click ✕ under each one and save.

Why it matters that nothing is uploaded

The PDFs people merge and split are often the most sensitive files they have: bank and payslip statements for a mortgage or rental application, signed contracts, medical letters, passport and ID scans. Most free PDF websites process files on their servers, which means trusting them with copies. This tool loads into your browser and does the work on your own device, so the documents stay with you. That's also why there's no file size cap, queue or daily limit.

Good to know

• Quality is unchanged. Pages are copied as they are, not re-rendered, so text stays selectable and images aren't recompressed.
• Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first. Open the file with its password and save or print a copy without protection.
• Bookmarks aren't kept in the new file, and fillable form fields may stop working. Fill in forms before merging them.
