Why merging PDFs on mobile is hard (and how to make it easy)

On application day, you often need a single PDF: combined marksheets, experience letters, category certificate, or a self-declaration. Many candidates try to do it through random apps that add watermarks, require logins, or fail when internet is slow.

The easiest approach is to use a simple merge tool that works smoothly on mobile, lets you attach multiple PDFs, and gives you one final download. SarkariPixel's Merge PDFs tool is built for exactly this use case.

Step-by-step: merge PDFs on mobile (takes 2 minutes)

  1. Open the tool: Merge PDFs
  2. Attach files: Tap to select 2 to 20 PDFs from your phone
  3. Confirm order: Arrange the PDFs in the exact order you want
  4. Merge & download: Tap merge and download the combined PDF
Pro tip: Rename files in your phone (or select them in order) so you don't waste time. Example order: 01-ID, 02-Marksheet, 03-Certificate, 04-Declaration.

Best order for common govt exam uploads

If you are not sure about the sequence, use a clean, examiner-friendly order. The goal is to reduce confusion in verification.

Use case Recommended order Why this helps
Education proof 10th → 12th → Graduation → PG (if any) Matches most application form sequences
Category certificate Certificate → Annexures → Supporting docs Verification becomes faster
Experience Offer letter → Joining → Salary slips → Relieving Gives a clear timeline

Common problems (and quick fixes)

Problem 1: Downloads stop after the first file on mobile

This is usually a browser permission issue (Chrome/Android). Enable "Automatic downloads" for the site, then try again.

Problem 2: The merged PDF is too large

If your merged PDF exceeds the portal limit, use the safe loop (reduce size via PDF → Image → Images → PDF):

Problem 3: I only have images, not PDFs

Convert images to a single PDF first, then merge if needed:

Problem 4: My PDF is scanned sideways or unclear

If the scan is unclear, you can improve readability before final submission using Enhance Lab (especially for faint text):
