Using Chrome on Android
Chrome on Android supports the browser APIs needed for LiftPDF's PDF workflow. Use the upload button to choose local files, then review the selected PDF list before exporting.
If your PDFs are stored in a cloud app, save them locally first when possible. Local files are easier for the browser to process reliably.
The file order controls the final PDF
The most important part of merging PDFs is sequence. The first file becomes the first section of the final PDF, the second file follows it, and so on.
Before you click Merge PDF, check the preview list and move files up or down until the cover page, main document, appendices and attachments are in the right order.
Mobile file-size tips
Very large PDFs can use more memory on phones. If a merge fails on mobile, try fewer files at once or use a desktop browser for the largest packets.
Privacy and browser processing
LiftPDF merges PDFs in your browser for supported files. The pages are copied locally into a new document, so the workflow does not require a document upload API.
That matters for contracts, invoices, reports and personal records. You still need to use good judgment with sensitive files, but avoiding a server upload is a practical privacy advantage.
