Put the pages of a PDF in the right order
Page 12 belongs after page 3, the cover sheet came out last, or a scanned stack went through the feeder backwards. This page lets you rearrange a PDF the way you would shuffle paper on a desk: move a page, drop one, copy another. The new file is built inside your browser and is never uploaded.
Rearrange a PDF in five steps
- Drop the PDF onto the drop zone or click it to choose the file. Every page becomes a tile, in the current order.
- Drag a tile to its new place on a computer; each tile shows a small preview of its page. On a phone or tablet, press the ◀ and ▶ buttons on the tile instead.
- Press ✕ on a tile to leave that page out, or ⧉ to put a second copy right behind it.
- Check the line below the tiles. It names the new page count and the order, for example
1-3, 7, 5. Reverse order flips the whole list, Restore original order starts again. - Press Save reordered PDF and download the result.
Typical jobs
Reverse a document that was scanned back to front. Move an appendix in front of the summary. Delete the blank pages a duplex scanner added. Repeat a signature page at the end of every chapter. For a plain cut, the split tool is quicker; this one is for changing the sequence.
What the new file keeps and what it drops
The tool copies the chosen pages into a new document, so page content, images and links inside a page stay intact. Bookmarks, interactive form fields and document properties of the source are not carried over, and the result has no password. Rotating pages is a separate tool.
Previews, 2,000 pages, nothing uploaded
A tile shows a small preview of the original page and its number. The previews come from the pdf.js engine, a download of roughly half a megabyte that happens once and is cached; without it the tiles show the page number and the shape of the page. A PDF can have 300 MB and 2,000 pages, and the new file up to 4,000 pages. An encrypted PDF asks for its password, which stays in memory.
