Merge several scans into one PDF
Three invoices, a contract with an attachment, or receipts for your taxes: here is how to turn several scans into a single PDF on the iPhone.
Many places want exactly one file: the job application, the documents for the bank, the receipts for bookkeeping. If you scanned the pages one by one, you merge them afterwards. With the free Scan2List app that takes a few steps.
Merge scans in Scan2List
- Open Scan2List and switch to “Scan2PDF” at the bottom.
- Under “Documents”, tap “Select” and mark the documents that belong together. You need at least two.
- Tap “Merge”.
- Set the order: drag the documents by the three lines to where you want them.
- Tap “Merge” once more. The app creates a new document with all the pages.
- Open the new document and tap “Share PDF”.
The single documents are kept. You can keep them or delete them.
Scan everything into one document from the start
If you already know that the pages belong together, you can skip merging. Tap “Another page” after each picture and “Done” only at the end. Later you can add more pages in the document with “Add page”.
Turn photos into one PDF
If you have already photographed the pages, tap “Photos” in Scan2PDF and pick the pictures. The app crops every page, straightens it and creates a document. You share that as a PDF. More: Convert a photo to PDF ›
Change the order and delete pages
If the order in the finished document is not right, touch and hold a page and drag it to where you want it. Tap a page to rotate or delete it. With “Black & white” at the top of the document, the PDF usually gets smaller, which helps with emails that have a size limit.
If you want to merge finished PDF files
Important: Scan2List works with paper you scan and with pictures from your photos. It cannot open a PDF file you already have. You merge finished PDF files with Apple’s Files app: put the files into the same folder, select them there and tap “Create PDF” in the menu with the three dots.
The steps for Apple’s apps describe iOS 26. In other versions, buttons may have different names or sit in a different place. Everything here is general information, not legal advice and not legally binding. Please check for yourself what applies in your case.
