Frequently asked questions

Why are my duplex scans in two files?+

Single-sided scanners often capture all front pages first, then all backs (sometimes in reverse). This tool merges them into the natural reading order.

What if the backs are in reverse order?+

Reverse the backs PDF first with the "reverse PDF" tool, then combine.

Are my scans uploaded?+

No โ€” interleaving runs entirely in your browser.

Do the two PDFs need equal pages?+

Not necessarily; extra pages from the longer file are appended after the interleaved pairs.
