Steps
Open your browser and go to ilovepdf.com. Click Merge PDF in the list of tools on the home page.
Click Select PDF files and choose two or more PDFs from your computer. You can also pull files from Google Drive or Dropbox.
Wait for the upload to finish. A thumbnail of the first page of each file appears in the list.
Drag the thumbnails into the order you want. Use the rotate icon if a scanned page appears sideways.
Click the red Merge PDF button. The tool joins the files into one document.
Click Download merged PDF to save the new file to your computer.
Rename the file something clear, such as project-report-final.pdf, and store it in the folder where you keep the originals.
Tips and common mistakes
Check the page numbers on each thumbnail before merging so the combined file reads in the right order.
Merging creates a new file, so your original PDFs stay untouched on your device.
Remove password protection from a PDF first, or the upload will fail.
For contracts, invoices or ID documents, use a desktop PDF tool instead, since online tools upload your files to a server.
Questions
Is iLovePDF really free for merging?
Yes, the merge tool is free to use. Free use comes with a maximum file size per document, and the limit is shown on the upload screen.
Can I merge PDFs on my phone?
Yes. Open ilovepdf.com in your mobile browser and the steps are the same. The download saves to your phone's Files or Downloads folder.
Does merging lower the quality of my PDFs?
No. The pages are copied into the new file as they are, so text stays sharp and selectable and images keep their resolution.
