Combine multiple PDF files into a single, organized document using a fast, secure, and reliable PDF merging API. Perfect for reports, archives, or batch processing.
Merge PDFs in any order with full control over page sequence. Ideal for assembling invoices, contracts, scanned forms, or multipart reports.
Automatically merge new PDF files in Google Drive using our Zapier integration. Simply drop your PDFs into a folder, and let the Nutrient API handle the rest.
Select a package that suits your needs according to the number of credits you wish to spend. Each API tool and action has a specific credit cost.
This example will merge the two supplied documents into one PDF. The order of the documents in the final PDF is controlled by the order of the parts array.

Most common next steps
After validating PDF merge behavior, continue to split PDF if the workflow also needs to separate documents, getting started for API key setup, the Postman collection for the fastest first request, Processor API pricing for credits, or the Processor API overview for broader DWS evaluation of combine, batch, and document assembly workflows.
No input or resulting documents are stored on our infrastructure. All files are deleted as soon as a request finishes. Alternatively, check out our self-hosted product.
All communication between your application and Nutrient is done via HTTPS to ensure your data is encrypted when itβs sent to us.
All payments are handled by Paddle. Nutrient DWS Processor API never has direct access to any of your payment data.
