Example
Example: a rental application packet from four phone scans, in two runs
A landlord wants one PDF: the signed application (2 pages), two pay stubs (1 page each) and a reference letter (1 page), scanned at different times into application.pdf, paystub-1.pdf, paystub-2.pdf and reference.pdf.
- The free plan merges 3 files a run, so drop application.pdf, paystub-1.pdf and paystub-2.pdf first, in that order, and press Merge scans: application-merged.pdf, 4 pages.
- Then merge application-merged.pdf with reference.pdf: application-merged-merged.pdf, 5 pages. Rename it before sending, for example Sample_rental_application.pdf.
- Pages are copied as they are, so nothing is compressed again, and a Letter page and an A4 page keep their own sizes.
| File | Pages | In the result |
|---|---|---|
| application.pdf | 2 | pages 1–2 |
| paystub-1.pdf | 1 | page 3 |
| paystub-2.pdf | 1 | page 4 |
| reference.pdf | 1 | page 5 |
One 5-page PDF in the right order, about the size of the four scans together. If a page came out sideways, fix it with Rotate PDF; if the file is over the landlord’s email limit, use Compress PDF.
How it works
- Drop the scan files: PDFs from the iPhone Notes and Files scanner, Google Drive scan, Adobe Scan, CamScanner or a copier that emails each page separately.
- Drag them into reading order. Scanner apps name files by timestamp, so check the first page of each rather than trusting the name.
- Press Merge scans. Pages are copied as they are, so nothing is re-compressed or blurred; the merged file is roughly the sum of the inputs.
- If a page is sideways, run the result through Rotate PDF; if it is too big to send, use Compress PDF. Both keep the merged order.
Frequently asked questions
- Why do my scans come out as separate PDFs?
- Most scanner apps save one PDF per session. If you scanned a contract over several sessions, or a copier emails each page on its own, you end up with many single-page files, while recipients and portals expect one document.
- Can I merge images and PDFs together?
- Not here; this tool takes PDFs only. Convert JPG, PNG or WebP scans to PDF first with JPG to PDF (an iPhone HEIC photo goes through HEIC to JPG first), then merge the results.
- Some pages are rotated or upside down.
- Merge first, then open Rotate PDF and enter the affected page numbers, for example 3, 7-8. The rotation is written into the page, so every viewer and printer shows it correctly.
- The merged file is huge.
- Phone scans are photos at 200 to 300 dpi; ten pages can reach 20 to 30 MB. Compress PDF at Balanced shrinks them several times over while keeping the text readable.
- What is the merged file called?
- It takes the name of the first file with -merged added: application.pdf becomes application-merged.pdf. Rename it before you send it.
- Do pages of different sizes stay as they are?
- Yes. Every page is copied unchanged, so a Letter scan and an A4 one keep their own sizes in the merged file, and nothing is scaled or compressed again.
- Is there a limit on files?
- The free plan merges 3 files per run, 20 MB per file, 5 runs a day. For more scans merge in rounds (3 files, then the result plus 2 more), or Pro removes the limits. Either way the files are combined in your browser and never uploaded.
