Starting point
Receipts, an expense summary, and an approval page arrive as separate PDFs that belong in one submission.
Online PDF tool
Merge PDF files into one ordered document
Combine reports, scans, receipts, or chapters into a single PDF and control the document order before processing.
Nothing to install, and your first eligible task finishes before you sign in. TapScanner has 100M+ mobile downloads

What you get
One ordered PDF instead of a stack of separate files
Bring related PDFs together, arrange them in the required sequence, and create one document that is simpler to review or share.
- Combine multiple PDF files
- Drag files into the right order
- Create one shareable document

How it works
How to use Merge PDF in three steps
Add two or more PDF files.
Arrange the files in the order you need.
Merge and download the combined PDF.
Complete the job
Merge PDF from upload to a checked result
Follow the whole path before you start: choose the source, set the job, run the workspace, verify the output, and continue only when the result is right for its next use.
Choose the source
Configure the job
Run the tool
Check the result
Continue
After processing
Review, download, and continue after Merge PDF
A completed result still deserves a quick check. Keep the original, inspect the output type and contents, and decide what should happen next before you share it.
Output to verify
Result type: PDF outputBring related PDFs together, arrange them in the required sequence, and create one document that is simpler to review or share.
Check page order, orientation, text, permissions, and any visible signatures before sharing the PDF.
Review the output
Check page order, text, orientation, and the number of files in the workspace before sending anything.
Download your copy
Use the workspace Download action after the result is ready. A browser handoff does not prove that a file was saved to disk.
Delete now when offered
If this workspace offers Delete now, use it after downloading. Availability depends on the tool and current result path.
Continue with the next task
Keep the source until you have verified the result, then move to a related PDF task or return to the tools catalog.
Practical example
Build one monthly expense packet
Result to check
Add the files, place the summary first and approval last, then download a single ordered expense packet.
Plan the combined document
Set the final page sequence before merging PDFs
Merging is simplest when each source has a clear role in the finished document. Decide the sequence first, remove accidental duplicates, and review the page boundaries after processing.
Application or approval packet
Use this approach when
A cover form, supporting records, and an approval page must reach one recipient as a single ordered submission.
Check before sharing
Place required forms first, verify every attachment is present once, and make sure signatures remain on the intended pages.
Monthly records bundle
Use this approach when
Statements, receipts, or reports from the same period need one predictable file for review, storage, or handoff.
Check before sharing
Use a consistent date order, look for duplicate source files, and confirm the first page of each record starts where expected.
Report assembled from chapters
Use this approach when
Different contributors deliver separate sections that need to become one report without recreating the source documents.
Check before sharing
Review transitions between chapters, page orientation, repeated title pages, and the page numbering shown inside each source.
Premium and Merge PDF
When Merge PDF needs more than Free
Free merges up to 25 files and 500 pages per task. Premium takes 100 files and drops the plan page cap, so a full archive is one job instead of five.
Usually next: Reorder the pages, add page numbers, or compress the combined file for email.
Paddle shows the exact amount, taxes, renewal date, and any eligible trial before you confirm. Stop future renewals yourself from your TapScanner billing account.
- OCR that makes scans searchable and selectable
- Editing the text that already exists in a PDF
- Repair for files that refuse to open
- Compare two revisions and see what changed
- Up to 100 files and 1 GB in one task, no page cap
- No daily job cap, subject to fair-use protection
Work with confidence
Clear limits and an output you can review
Know the access level
The first eligible task can be completed before login. Current file, page, and usage limits are shown in the workspace.
Keep document data out of analytics
TapScanner web's application data layer rejects filenames and document contents. Published analytics destinations require separate configuration verification.
Temporary storage during processing
Hosted processing paths may use temporary files. In the pinned core's normal download path, the output file is removed when the stream closes; scheduled cleanup covers stale temporary files.
Hosted processing
Web tools may send files to TapScanner's hosted processing service. We do not currently offer a customer-selectable processing region, so do not assume processing stays on your device or in a particular country.
Delete when offered
Delete-now is available only when a result screen explicitly offers it; it is not yet supported by every web tool.
Check the finished file
Open the downloaded result and verify important pages, values, formatting, and permissions before relying on it.

Questions
Merge PDF FAQ
Can I use Merge PDF for free?
Yes. Your first eligible task can be completed before login. TapScanner shows the current file, page, and daily limits before processing.
Can I rearrange files before merging them?
Yes. Put the PDFs in the exact order you want before starting the merge; that order becomes the page sequence in the finished document.
Do I need to install software for Merge PDF?
No. TapScanner runs in a modern web browser, so you can upload, process, and download the result without installing desktop software.
Does merging PDFs change my original files?
The workflow creates a combined output. Keep the source PDFs until you have opened the merged file and confirmed its order, page count, signatures, and chapter boundaries.
Can the merged PDF contain different page sizes or orientations?
Source documents may use different page sizes and orientations. Review the joins between files and any landscape pages in the merged result before printing or sharing it.
