Add Attachments to PDF

Embed files inside a PDF as attachments. Free and private in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Bundle supporting files inside a PDF

Keep evidence, source spreadsheets, or cover letters together with the main document by embedding them as PDF attachments. Everything is packaged locally so sensitive addenda never hit a third-party server.

What you can do with it

Attach source files to a report
Embed the CSV or Excel that produced the charts.
Include signed addenda
Attach related PDFs or images alongside the main packet.

How to add attachments to a PDF

  1. Open the PDF that will hold the attachments.
  2. Choose one or more files to embed.
  3. Click Attach files & download.

Attachments vs merging pages

Embedding keeps supporting files inside the PDF without adding pages. Merge is for concatenating page content. Use attachments when the extra files should stay separate downloads inside one container.

Viewer support varies

Desktop readers usually show an Attachments panel. Some mobile apps hide embeds — tell recipients where to look, or extract attachments into a ZIP for them.
