# How to Combine Scanned PDFs into One File
Scanned documents are often stored as separate PDF files. Merging them can create one organized file for review, storage, or submission.
## Steps
1. Check that each scanned PDF is readable and correctly oriented.
2. Open PDFilio's Merge PDF tool.
3. Upload the scanned PDFs.
4. Arrange them in the desired order.
5. Start the merge.
6. Review the final PDF page by page.
## If the merged file becomes very large
Scanned pages can contain large images. Compress the resulting PDF if appropriate, then verify that text and images remain readable.
