How to Merge PDF Files on Windows 10 and 11 — Free

Windows does not include a built-in PDF merger. Microsoft Print to PDF can create PDFs but cannot combine them. Here is how to merge PDFs on Windows 10 or 11 without installing any software.

Option 1 — Use Your Browser (Recommended)

Open Chrome, Edge, or Firefox and go to pdfeditor.onl/organize-pdf. This is the fastest method — no download, no installation, works on any Windows version.

Tip: You can drag PDF files directly from Windows Explorer into the browser window as a quick upload shortcut.

Option 2 — Use Microsoft Print to PDF (Workaround)

Open each PDF in Microsoft Edge. Press Ctrl+P and select Microsoft Print to PDF. Repeat for each file. Then use pdfeditor.onl/organize-pdf to merge the resulting PDFs in the correct order.

Step-by-Step in the Browser
