Combine PDF files into one
Combine many PDFs into one packet. Drag first-page previews so the covering note sits first and annexures follow.
Combine PDF files into one packet
Combine PDF is for a stack of finished files, not for editing a page. Typical packets are a covering note plus annexures, a month of invoices, or several chapters that a clerk asked for as a single upload. You see the first page of each file so you know which card is which, then drag the stack into order and download.
Combining in the browser means the files are not stored in a Template Maker account. Keep the download only as long as you need it, and keep the source PDFs until you get an acknowledgement.
How to combine several PDFs
Add each file, wait for the preview, then drag so the first document a reader should see sits on the left. If one file’s internal pages are already in the wrong sequence, use Arrange PDF on that file first, then combine.
- First-page previews for each file
- Drag-and-drop order for the whole packet
- One download for the combined document
- No login
Combine versus merge, join or compress
Merge PDF is the same tool with generic wording. Join PDF is the same board when you only have two files. After you combine, open Compress PDF if an email or portal has a size cap. This page does not restyle fonts or sharpen a fuzzy scan.

Add two or more. Very large stacks may be slow in the browser; split unused pages first if the download stalls.
Where does combining run?
In your browser. We do not keep a library of combined files.
