Merge PDF

Combine multiple PDF files into one

📖What is this tool?

You are applying for your dream job, but the application portal (like Greenhouse, LinkedIn, or Workday) only has one button: 'Upload Resume'. You also want to submit your Cover Letter and References, but there is no place to put them. The solution? Combine them all into one professional PDF document. ConvertPilot allows you to merge multiple files instantly in your browser, ensuring your application looks polished and complete.

This tool is part of ConvertPilot's collection of free utilities designed to make your workflow simple, fast, and secure. Whether you're a professional or casual user, you'll find it easy to use with no learning curve.

🚀How to use it

Create a single job application packet in 3 steps:

1

Select Your Documents

Upload your Resume, Cover Letter, and Portfolio. (You can select multiple files at once).

2

Arrange the Order

This is crucial. Drag your Resume to the top, followed by the Cover Letter, then Certifications. Recruiters expect this specific order.

3

Merge and Download

Click 'Merge'. Your new single file is ready to upload to any job portal or university application.

Key benefits

There are many reasons to use Merge PDF for your needs:

Bypass 'Single File' Limits

Upload your entire career history even if the website only allows one attachment.

Look More Professional

Recruiters prefer opening one organized file rather than downloading 5 separate attachments.

100% Privacy for IDs

Since we don't store your files, it is safe to merge sensitive documents like Passports, Visas, and Bank Statements.

💡Pro tips

Rename Before Uploading

Name your final file professionally: 'John_Doe_Full_Application.pdf'. Do not use 'merged_file_final.pdf'.

Watch the File Size

Job portals often have a 5MB limit. If your merged file is too big, use our 'Compress PDF' tool next.

🤖Will ATS read my merged PDF?

Yes. Modern Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) can easily read merged PDFs. However, make sure you do not flatten the text into an image. Our tool preserves the text layer, so the robots can still read your keywords.

⚖️Is it safe for Legal Documents?

Absolutely. Because ConvertPilot processes files Client-Side (on your device), your contracts or visa documents never travel through the public internet. This makes it safer than cloud-based alternatives.
