How it works
How to merge in four steps
Add, arrange, merge, and download — all in your browser, all without uploading.
Put the cover letter first
Most recruiters expect the cover letter before the resume, but you can drag to swap the order to match the employer's instructions.
Name it for the role
Use a clear name like FirstName_LastName_Application.pdf so the recruiter can find your file easily among hundreds of applicants.
Merge and download
One clean PDF saves to your device, ready to attach to an email or upload to an application portal. No watermark is added.
Private by design
Your application materials stay private
Resumes and cover letters hold personal contact details, work history, and sometimes references. Merging them in your browser means none of that data passes through a third-party server. There is no upload, no account, and no copy of your documents stored anywhere.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Should the cover letter or resume come first?
The common convention is cover letter first, then resume, so the recruiter reads your intent before your history. If the job posting specifies an order, follow that — you can drag files into any sequence before merging.
What should I name the merged application PDF?
Use FirstName_LastName_Application.pdf or FirstName_LastName_CoverLetter_Resume.pdf. A clear, professional name helps recruiters locate your file and looks more organized than “merged.pdf”.
Is it safe to merge my resume online?
With this tool, yes, because your resume never leaves your browser. There is no upload and no server processing, so your personal details are not exposed to a third party.
Can I add more than two documents?
Yes. Add a portfolio page, references, or transcripts alongside your resume and cover letter, arrange them in order, and merge everything into one file.
