About Collate: PDF & Image Merger
Collate merges images and PDFs into a single PDF — on your Mac, iPhone or iPad, without uploading anything. Drop in a mix of scans, phone photos, receipts and existing PDFs. Put them in the order you want. Export one clean PDF. MERGE ANYTHING • Images and PDF pages sit side by side in the same list — no converting first • Multi-page PDFs stay grouped as one item, and fan out when you want the individual pages • Import just a page range from a long PDF • Open password-protected PDFs by entering the password once PUT IT IN ORDER • Drag to reorder in either a list or a thumbnail gallery • Arrange sorts scans for you — by the page number printed on the page, by name, or by capture date • Rotate any page, drop the ones you don't want • Full undo and redo EXPORT ON YOUR TERMS • Searchable text (OCR), so you can find words inside scans and photos • Compression, when the file needs to be small enough to email • Normalize page sizes, to even out a mix of A4, Letter and phone photos • PDF pages are copied across natively, never re-rendered — text stays text and vectors stay sharp ON IPHONE AND IPAD • Import from the Files app or your Photo Library • Scan paper straight in with the camera ON MAC • Send files straight from Finder with the "Send to Collate" Services menu item • A Shortcuts action, so merging can run inside your own automations PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Collate never uploads your files. Nothing is tracked, no account is required, and no data is collected. Your documents stay on your device — which is exactly where documents like these belong. FREE, WITH ONE OPTIONAL PURCHASE Collate is free and merges up to 3 files at a time. Collate Pro is a one-time in-app purchase that removes that limit — never a subscription, and it unlocks on Mac, iPhone and iPad together. Every feature is in both versions: OCR, compression, Normalize and Arrange all work for free. Pro only lifts the file count.
