how to merge pdf on mac
- drop two or more pdf files on the box, or click it to choose them. you can add more files later.
- check the page thumbnails. drag pages to reorder them, even between files, and press the cross to drop any page you do not want.
- use sort files by name or reverse pages if you want a quick bulk order.
- press merge and download merged.pdf.
on a mac you can drag files straight from finder onto the box, or select several with cmd-click in the file chooser. pages show up as thumbnails so you see exactly what you are combining, and you can mix pages from different files before you save.
the result downloads as merged.pdf to your downloads folder. nothing goes through icloud or a server, so contracts and scans stay on the mac. open it in preview afterwards to check page order or to add a signature.

frequently asked questions
how is this different from merging in preview?
preview needs you to open one pdf, show thumbnails and drag other files into the sidebar. here you add all files at once, see every page in one grid and can delete or reorder pages before saving.
does it work in safari?
yes, safari, chrome, firefox and edge all work on macos. the pdf libraries load once from a content network and then run locally.
where does the merged file go?
it is saved with your browser downloads, normally the downloads folder. safari may ask you to allow downloads from this site the first time.
