Joining several PDFs into one — or pulling a few pages out of a long one — is one of the most common office tasks. Most online PDF sites make you upload your files to their server. For invoices, contracts, ID proofs or medical reports, that is not ideal. Here is how to merge and split PDF files for free, right in your browser.
How to merge PDF files
- Open Merge PDF.
- Select two or more PDF files (you can add more at any time).
- Use ↑ ↓ to put them in the right order.
- Click Merge PDFs. One file,
merged.pdf, downloads automatically.
Pages are copied exactly as they are, so text stays selectable and image quality does not change.
How to split a PDF or extract pages
- Open Split PDF and select your PDF.
- Choose a mode:
- Extract pages into one PDF — type pages like
1-3, 7to get a new PDF with only those pages. - Every page as a separate PDF — get one file per page, downloadable together as a ZIP.
- Extract pages into one PDF — type pages like
- Click Split PDF.
How to remove pages from a PDF
There is no need for a separate "delete pages" tool. Extract every page except the ones you want to remove. For a 10-page PDF where you want to drop page 5, type 1-4, 6-10.
Writing page ranges
| You type | Pages you get |
|---|---|
3 | Page 3 |
1-5 | Pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 |
1, 3, 8-10 | Pages 1, 3, 8, 9, 10 |
| (empty) | All pages |
Why browser-based PDF tools are safer
- No upload — files are processed on your own device.
- No limits — there is no server quota, so file count and size depend only on your device.
- Fast — no waiting for uploads and downloads on slow connections.
If something goes wrong
- "Could not open" error — the PDF is damaged or password-protected. Open it in a PDF reader, remove the password and save a copy.
- Pages sideways after merging — fix them with Rotate PDF.
- Need pages as images — use PDF to Image.
