How to Merge PDFs on Mac Free (3 Ways)

Three free ways to combine PDF files on Mac — Preview, FixMyPDF, and Automator.

Mac has several built-in options for merging PDFs. Here are the three best free methods.

Method 1: FixMyPDF (Best Control)

Open Safari. Go to fixmypdf.in/tools/merge. Upload all PDFs. Drag to reorder. Merge. Download. Ideal for many files or complex ordering.

Method 2: Mac Preview

Open PDF 1 in Preview. Open the sidebar (View → Thumbnails). Drag PDF 2 from Finder into the sidebar at the desired position. File → Export as PDF → Save. Good for merging 2–3 files.

Method 3: Automator

Open Automator (in Applications). Create a new Workflow. Add "Combine PDF Pages" action. Drop PDFs in. Run. Outputs a combined PDF. Good for repeated batch merging.
