How to merge PDFs on your phone (Android and iPhone)
You don't need to install any app: JapalTools works in your phone's browser (Chrome, Safari, Samsung Internet…) and your files are never uploaded to any server. Here's how to combine several PDFs into one from your phone.
-
Save the PDFs on your phone
If you received them by WhatsApp or email, save them first. On Android, open them and use “Download” or “Save” to keep them in Downloads or Files. On iPhone, tap Share → Save to Files.
-
Add them in the right order
- Open Merge PDF in your phone's browser and tap Browse Files.
- Choose the first PDF.
- Tap Add more PDFs to add the next one and repeat until you have them all: they're placed in the order you add them.
- If you make a mistake, tap Delete on that file and add it again in the right place.
-
Merge them and save the result
Tap Merge PDF Now and then Download Merged PDF. On Android it's saved in Downloads; on iPhone, in Files → Downloads. From there you can send it by WhatsApp or email.
Tips for your phone
- Very large documents: a phone has less memory than a computer. If it's slow, merge the files in smaller groups.
- If it's too big to send, run it through Compress PDF without leaving your phone.
- Quick access: in your browser's menu, “Add to Home Screen” puts JapalTools on your phone like any other app icon.
Have photos instead of PDFs?
- Turn them straight into a PDF with JPG / PNG to PDF: each photo becomes a page.
- For an ID card, follow the guide how to combine both sides of an ID card into one PDF.
Your document never leaves your device: JapalTools processes it in your own browser and never uploads it to any server, which matters when it contains personal or tax data.
