Put up to 20 PDFs into one, in the order you choose, right in your browser. For big stacks with an outline, Hangar runs on your Mac or PC.
Hangar merges any number of PDFs, any size, and adds a bookmark for every file. Below is a real run on a Mac.

How it works
Drop two or more PDFs on the queue. Drag a file by its handle to change the order: Hangar joins them from top to bottom.
Type a name ending in .pdf. Bookmark per source gives readers a clickable outline with one entry per original file.
The merged file is saved to your output folder and your originals stay as they were. If one file cannot be opened, nothing is saved, so you never get a document with a part missing.
New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step
Choose how it comes together
Merge PDF has two modes. Combine all into one joins the queue into a single document, with an optional bookmark per file. Attach a file to each adds the same pages to every PDF instead.
Every PDF in the queue becomes one document, in your order.
Best for proposals, applications and monthly archives.
The merged file opens with one bookmark for each original.
Best for long packs where readers jump to the pricing or the terms.
The same cover or terms page lands on every PDF, one copy each.
Best for a stack of quotes or reports that all need your terms.
Every setting, explained in the Merge PDF guide Bookmark per source · Output name
The alternative
A website is fine for joining two harmless files once. For applications, contracts and anything with personal details, here is the difference.

Who uses it
Join the cover, the scope and the terms into a single PDF the client opens once.
Hangar for agencies and studiosCombine a CV, a cover letter, references and certificates in the order the form asks for.
Merge monthly statements or exports into one bookmarked file for the records.
One app, one payment
The same app merges, splits, signs, redacts and reads scanned PDFs, and does the same kind of work for images, video and audio. One payment covers every tool.
A typical routine
Merge the parts into one PDF. Then number the pages and compress the result for email.
Every tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.
Not if it asks for a password to open. Remove the password with Unlock PDF first, then merge the unlocked copy.
No. Merging does not shrink anything. Run Compress PDF on the merged file if it has to fit an email limit.
Yes. Pages are combined in the order the files sit in the queue, and you can drag them to reorder before running.
Leave bookmarks on and each source file becomes a labeled entry in the merged document outline, so readers can jump straight to it.
You need at least two. There is no set maximum, but every file has to open: if one is password-protected or cannot be read, the merge stops and nothing is saved.
No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.
Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
Then pay once, from $45, for every tool and the updates for your version. No subscription. 30-day refund.See plans
