Merge PDF
Combine PDFs (and images) into one file. Drag to reorder pages. Free, private, no upload.
Tip: drag pages to reorder. Click a page to select it.
How to Use Merge PDF
- Drop all the PDFs you want to combine (you can add JPG or PNG images too). Every page appears as a thumbnail.
- Drag pages into the order you want. Use โณ to rotate a page or โ to remove it.
- Name your file and click Download PDF. The merged file is created on your device in seconds.
Combine PDFs in seconds, right in your browser
Need to send one file instead of five? Drop your PDFs in, arrange the pages and download a single merged PDF. You can mix in photos or scans (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC from iPhone), and each image becomes a page. It's handy for application packs, receipts for an expense claim, or contracts with signed pages.
More than just "stick files together"
- Page-level control: every page of every file is shown as a thumbnail, so you can interleave pages from different documents.
- Rotate and remove: fix sideways scans and drop blank pages before you merge.
- Keeps quality: PDF pages are copied as they are (text stays selectable, nothing is re-compressed).
Why it's private
Most online PDF sites upload your document to their servers, process it there and ask you to trust that it gets deleted. Shoal works the other way round: the page loads a PDF engine (pdf.js to show the pages, pdf-lib to write the new file) into your browser, and all the work happens on your own computer or phone. Your file is never uploaded, so there's nothing to delete. Once the page has loaded it even keeps working if you disconnect from the internet.
No limits, no watermark
Because your device does the work, it costs us nothing. So there's no "2 files per day" limit, no page cap, no watermark and no account. Very large files (hundreds of pages) depend on your device's memory. A modern laptop handles them easily.
