Application portals often have a single upload box for "all documents", and some offices want one file instead of ten email attachments. Merging solves both: your marksheets, certificates, ID proof and photos go into one PDF, in the order you want. Docshar's Merge tool accepts PDF files and images (JPG, PNG, WEBP and GIF) in the same batch.
Docshar processes your file in your browser, so it is not uploaded to our servers. Files can be up to 10 MB each.
Step by step
- Open the Merge tool. Go to Docshar Merge.
- Add your files. Click Choose files and select two or more PDFs or images. You can select several at once, or add more later.
- Put them in order. Drag the files in the list, or use the up and down arrows next to each file, so they appear in the order you want in the final PDF. Use the cross to remove a file.
- Merge. Click Merge files. Docshar tells you how many pages the merged PDF has.
- Download. Click Download to save merged.pdf, or choose a next step such as Compress.
Tips
- Merged files are often too large for upload limits. After merging, use Compress to bring the file under the size the form asks for. See how to compress a PDF to 100 KB.
- Need to rearrange individual pages rather than whole files? Merge first, then use Organize to drag pages into place, or Delete Pages to remove some.
- Images are placed on a page of their own at their natural shape. For A4 pages with margins, convert images with JPG to PDF first.
- Want page numbers across the merged document? Run Page Numbers on the result.
- You can also type "merge and add page numbers" in the Docshar AI command bar on the home page and it will set up both steps for you.
Frequently asked questions
How many PDFs can I merge at once?
You need at least two files. Without an account you can merge up to 3 files (20 MB in total), and up to 5 files with a free account. Paid passes allow more; see Pricing. Very large merges also depend on your device's memory.
Can I merge password-protected PDFs?
Remove the password first with Unlock (only for files you are allowed to open), then merge.
Does merging reduce quality?
No. Pages are copied as they are, so text and images keep their original quality.
Can I merge on my phone?
Yes. Docshar works in mobile browsers such as Chrome and Safari. Pick files from your phone storage and tap Merge files.
