Overview

Merging PDFs is one of the most common PDF tasks. PDFTape lets you combine two or more PDFs into a single file without uploading anything to a server. You can use the free browser app for quick jobs or the Mac app for unlimited batch merges.

  • Free in the browser for up to 5 files per session.
  • Unlimited files in the PDFTape Mac app.
  • Drag to reorder before merging.
  • Your original files are never changed.

    Open the Merge tool

    Open PDFTape in your browser or launch the Mac app. Click Merge on the home screen. You can also drag PDFs straight from Finder into the Mac app window to start a merge immediately.

    Add your PDFs

    Drag your PDFs into the staging area, or click Choose files to pick them from Finder or your file system. In the browser app you can add up to 5 files at once; the Mac app has no limit.

    Step 2

    Arrange the page order

    PDFTape combines files in the order they appear in the list. Drag a file up or down to move its pages. Want page 5 of the second PDF before page 1? Just reorder the files.

    In the Mac app you can also open the merged preview and rearrange individual pages before exporting.

    Step 3
    Drag files to set the final order

    Merge and save

    Click Merge PDFs. The browser app downloads the combined file automatically. On Mac, pick a folder and filename in the save panel, then click Save.

    Step 4
    Name your file and click Export
Tip: Need to remove or rotate a page after merging? Open the merged PDF in the Mac app workspace and use the page editor before exporting.
