How to Merge PDFs on Android — Free in Chrome, No App Needed

Android has no built-in PDF merger. iPhones have the Files app Create PDF feature. Android does not have an equivalent. Google Drive cannot merge PDFs natively on Android. The fastest free solution that keeps your files private is to open PDFWix in Chrome on your Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, OnePlus or Xiaomi phone, upload your PDFs, drag to reorder, and download the merged result. No app install, no account, no watermark.

How to Merge PDFs on Android — Free in Chrome, No App Needed

Merge PDF files on Android free in Chrome — no app, no signup, no watermark. Reorder before merging. File stays on your phone. Works on any device. Online.

Tip: merging photos and PDFs in one step

If some of the files you want to combine are JPG or HEIC photos (school forms scanned with your phone camera, receipts shot in poor light, screenshots saved from messaging apps), use JPG to PDF first to wrap each photo into a single-page PDF, then merge everything in one go. PDFWix accepts HEIC and WebP on Android too, even though Android can't natively render HEIC, because the decoding runs in your browser via WebAssembly. The merged PDF preserves each input's resolution byte-for-byte and the entire workflow runs without a single upload to our servers.

How it works

  1. Open Merge PDF in Chrome — Open Chrome on your Android phone and go to pdfwix.com/merge-pdf. No account needed.
  2. Select your PDFs — Tap Select files and pick PDFs from internal storage, Downloads, or Google Drive.
  3. Reorder thumbnails — Drag the file thumbnails to set the order. The top file becomes the first section of the merged PDF.
  4. Merge — Tap Merge PDF. Chrome processes the files locally with WebAssembly — nothing is uploaded.
  5. Download — Tap Download. The merged PDF saves to your Android Downloads folder.
