Free PDF merging app
You would like to understand which are the best free PDF merging app currently present on the square? Then keep reading. Below are some of the best for both Android that for iOS / iPadOS.
iLovePDF (Android / iOS / iPadOS)
The first app to merge PDF which I advise you to consider is iLovePDF. It is a real “Swiss army knife” for PDFs, through which it is possible not only to merge the documents in question, but also to divide them, convert them into documents in other formats, compress them, etc. using a cloud-based system.
It has a nice user interface, is compatible with both Android and iOS / iPadOS and is free; however, it offers in-app purchases (at a basic cost of € 5,99 / month) to subscribe to paid plans to unlock additional functions. It should also be said that the files uploaded to its servers are deleted within a short time, so there is a good respect for the user's privacy.
To download the app to your device if you are using Android, visit the relative section of the Play Store and press the button Install. If, on the other hand, you are using an Android device on which there is no Play Store (e.g. a Huawei smartphone with AppGallery), you can download iLovePDF via one alternative store, as I explained to you in my tutorial on how to install apps on Huawei.
Stai using iOS / iPadOSinstead, access the relevant section of the App Store, press the button Get, quindi quello Install and authorize the download via Face ID, touch ID o password dell'ID Apple. In continuito, avvia l'app, sfiorando il pulsating apri appeared on the screen or the relative icon which has been added to the home screen.
