Scanned-page workflow
Combine scanned pages into one correctly ordered PDF.
Turn scanned images into one ordered PDF, or merge existing scan PDFs, using local browser processing and no account.
Local by design
The files in this workflow are processed in browser memory and are not intentionally uploaded to our application server.
No account
Use the ordinary tool and download the result without creating a profile.
Review the result
Browser conversion is useful, but it cannot guarantee perfect output for every file or device.
Before you begin
- Decide whether the scans are image files or PDFs: images use Images to PDF; existing PDFs use Merge PDF.
- Rename or sort the source pages first if the file picker does not show them in the intended order.
- Keep every source scan until the combined result is complete and verified.
Step by step
- 1For JPG, PNG, or supported HEIC scans, open Images to PDF and select the pages in order. For existing scan PDFs, open Merge PDF instead.
- 2Confirm the displayed file order before processing. Create one combined PDF in browser memory.
- 3Open the result, verify every page, and use Rearrange or Rotate only if corrections are needed.
Worked example
Choose the route that matches your scans
Start with
- Four separate JPG page images → Images to PDF
- Two existing PDFs of two pages each → Merge PDF
What to expect
Either example can produce one four-page PDF. Image pages remain images; merging PDFs preserves their existing page content but does not add OCR.
Check your result
- Count all four pages and check their order.
- Check orientation, clipping and readability before deleting any source.
Illustrative examples. No scans are uploaded or embedded in this guide.
Quality checks
- The first and last pages are correct and no page is missing or duplicated.
- Every page is upright, readable, and cropped acceptably.
- The finished file opens successfully before the source scans are removed.
Important limitations
- Images remain images; the tool does not add OCR or searchable text.
- Up to 20 images and 80 decoded megapixels can be processed in one image job.
- Many high-resolution scans can exceed mobile-browser memory; use a desktop when possible.
Common questions and fixes
Can I select PDFs and photos together?
Use Images to PDF for the supported images first, then combine that downloaded PDF with the existing PDFs using Merge. The Merge tool expects PDFs rather than a mixed image/PDF selection.
Why can I not search or copy the scanned words?
A picture of text is not a text layer. This workflow does not perform OCR. Keep that limitation in mind for accessibility and searchability.
Privacy boundary
This workflow uses an ordinary local tool. Your selected document content stays in browser memory; normal website delivery can still expose standard technical information such as an IP address, browser details, requested public route, and security events to infrastructure providers. Do not use regulated or highly sensitive records unless the service has been reviewed and approved for that use.
