Merge PDFs into one file for a visa, loan or job application
Visa centres, banks and HR portals often want one PDF in a specific order: form first, then ID, then statements. Doing it right the first time avoids a rejection e-mail three days later.
Quick answer. Open Merge PDF, drop all the files, drag them into the checklist order, set a page range on any file that has extra pages, tick Add page numbers and Bookmark each file, name the output and press Merge. If the portal has a size cap, run the result through Compress PDF with "To a size". Everything happens in your browser; your documents are not uploaded.

Step by step
- Open Merge PDF and drop every document (PDFs only; convert photos to PDF first if needed).
- Drag the files into the order on the checklist. Use a page range such as 1-2 to include only the pages you need.
- Tick Add page numbers and Bookmark each file so reviewers can navigate.
- Merge, check the preview, then compress if there is a size limit.
Tips that save a second attempt
- Rotate a landscape statement before merging so every page reads the same way.
- Name the file the way the portal expects, for example Surname_Passport_Application.pdf.
- Keep sensitive documents off third-party servers: this merge never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
Can I include a photo of a document?
Merge PDF takes PDFs. Save the photo as a PDF first (print to PDF on your phone or computer), then merge.
Is there a page or file limit?
No fixed limit; your device's memory is the only constraint. Hundreds of pages merge comfortably on a laptop.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. Merging runs in your browser on your own device.
