How to Merge PDFs on iPhone or iPad (No App Needed)

Get your PDFs into the Files app

PDFs from Mail or messaging apps are easiest to work with once saved to Files: tap Share → Save to Files. Putting them in the same folder makes selecting them together simple.

Merging in Safari

1. Open anyview.dev in Safari.

2. Tap “Choose files”, then choose to browse your files to open the Files app.

3. Tap Select (top right), tick every PDF you want to combine, and tap Open.

4. When the files appear in the list, tap “Merge into one”.

Setting the order

Pages are joined in the order shown in the list. On a phone, the ↑↓ buttons on each row are more precise than dragging. Remove a wrong file with ✕.

Finding the merged file

Safari saves downloads to the Downloads folder in the Files app by default. Tap the downloads icon in the address bar to open it, then use Share to send it by email or message.

Good to know

Page content is kept exactly, but bookmarks and fillable form fields may not carry over. The free version handles up to 20 files per batch, and PDFs that require a password to open can't be merged.
