How to merge PDF files on iPhone or Android

Combine documents from your phone's file picker, arrange their order and save a new PDF.

You can merge PDFs from a mobile browser without moving to a desktop. The main things to check are that the right files are selected, they are in the order you want and your phone has enough memory to finish processing them.

Get your PDFs ready

Find the files in the iPhone Files app, Android Downloads or another location your phone's document picker can access. Give files clear names if several look similar. Keep the source PDFs unchanged so you can return to them later.

Merge PDFs from a phone

  1. Open the PDFMochi Merge PDF tool in your mobile browser.
  2. Choose the PDFs you want from the file picker.
  3. Review the selected-file list. Move files up or down until the cover, forms and supporting pages are in the right order.
  4. Tap Merge PDF and keep the page open while the browser creates the combined copy.
  5. Open the downloaded PDF and check its page order, orientation and readability before sending it.

If the merge gets stuck

Large scans and many open browser tabs can use a lot of device memory. Close other tabs, try merging a smaller group, or switch to a device with more available memory. If an individual file does not open, check that it is a valid PDF and try a fresh copy.

Privacy and file handling

The merge runs in your browser; the selected PDF is not sent to a PDFMochi processing server. The browser downloads a separate merged file to your device. The site does load its processing library from a content delivery network, so standard connection data may be visible to that library provider.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the order before merging?

Yes. Use the move controls in the file list, then check the order once more before you merge.

Will merging change my original PDFs?

No. PDFMochi creates a separate combined file and leaves the selected originals in place.
