PDF Page Reorder

Put PDF pages in the right order by dragging their thumbnails - or reverse the file, collate a double-sided scan, and delete, duplicate or turn pages, with undo for every step. Bookmarks and links follow their pages, and nothing is uploaded. Need to combine files first? Use Merge PDF.

How to Reorder PDF Pages

  1. Add your PDF. Drop the PDF into the box or browse for it. Every page appears as a thumbnail.
  2. Drag pages into order. Drag thumbnails where they belong, or use Reverse, Odd/even and Collate scan for whole-document fixes.
  3. Tidy up. Delete, duplicate or turn pages, and add blank pages. Undo steps back if you change your mind.
  4. Save. Press Save PDF. Bookmarks and links follow their pages, and the download starts by itself.

No PDF handy? Try a shuffled sample and race to put the eight pages back in order.

One-Click Fixes for Scans

Scanners love to mix things up. These buttons fix whole documents at once.

Reverse

The scan came out last page first? One click flips the whole order.

Collate scan

Scanned all fronts, then all backs? This interleaves them into 1, 2, 3, 4.

Odd, then even

Pulls every odd position to the front - handy for printing booklets in two passes.

Some pages sideways as well? Turn them here, or use Rotate PDF for quick fixes like "make all pages portrait".

Bookmarks Stay, Files Stay Private

Most online organizers rebuild your PDF from scratch and lose its bookmarks.

This tool moves the pages inside the same file instead, so the table of contents, links and form fields still point to the right pages. Deleted pages are cleaned out properly, so the file really gets smaller.

And because it all runs in your browser, the PDF never leaves your device. Need it smaller still? Compress PDF helps.

Tips and Related PDF Tools

  • Pages from another file? Combine the files with Merge PDF - its Pages view lets you drag pages across files.
  • Want only a few pages? Split PDF extracts them into a new file.
  • Got photos of pages? Turn them into a PDF with JPG to PDF first.
  • Need the pages as images? PDF to JPG saves each page as a picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drop your PDF in the box above and drag the page thumbnails into the order you want (on a phone, press and hold a page, then drag). Press Save PDF and the reordered file downloads right away.

Yes. Click pages to select them (Shift-click selects a run), then drag one of them - the whole selection moves together. Move to start and Move to end work on the selection too.

Press Collate scan. It takes the first half as front pages and the second half as back pages in reverse, the way most single-sided scanners deliver them, and interleaves them: 1, 2, 3, 4...

Pages also upside down? Fix them with Rotate PDF or the turn button on each page.

Yes. Every page has buttons to turn, duplicate or delete it, and Add blank page inserts an empty page after your selection. Deleted pages are really removed, so the file gets smaller.

Made a mistake? Undo (Ctrl+Z) steps back through every change.

Yes. Tab to a page and use the arrow keys to move around. Alt + arrow moves the page, Space selects it, Delete removes it, D duplicates and R turns it. Screen readers hear every change.

Yes. The pages are moved inside the same PDF, so bookmarks, links and form fields follow their pages. Links that pointed to a deleted page are switched off.

No. Everything happens in your browser, so the PDF never leaves your device and there is no size limit apart from your device's memory. Password-protected PDFs need unlocking first with Unlock PDF.
