Reorder PDF Pages

Drag the thumbnails into the order you want. Each page shows where it sits now and where it came from, so a long rearrangement stays followable.

Runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded.

How to use Reorder PDF Pages

  1. 1Pick a PDF, or drag it onto the box above.
  2. 2Drag a page to a new spot, or use the arrows underneath it.
  3. 3Reverse flips the whole document if that is what you need.
  4. 4Press Save new order and download the rebuilt PDF.

Two ways to move a page

Dragging is the fast one when you have a mouse. Under every thumbnail there are also arrows that shift a page one place earlier or later.

Those arrows are not a fallback nobody expected you to use. Drag and drop is effectively unusable with a keyboard and fiddly on a phone, so anything you can do by dragging you can also do by pressing a button.

Reading the labels

Each thumbnail shows its new position in bold and, beside it, the page it used to be. After half a dozen moves that is the difference between knowing where you are and starting again.

Reset order puts everything back to how the file arrived. Reverse is there because flipping a document that was scanned back to front is common enough to deserve one click.

What the rebuild does

Pages are copied into a new document in your order. Nothing is re-rendered, so quality and text are untouched, and a document mixing portrait and landscape pages keeps each page exactly as it was.

Links that point at another page may end up pointing at the wrong one, since the destination has moved. This is worth checking on a document full of cross-references.

Frequently asked questions

Can I move a page from the end to the front?
Yes. Drag it the whole way, or press the left arrow under it repeatedly. Either way the labels show you where everything has landed.
Does reordering hurt quality?
No. Pages are copied as they are, not re-rendered, so what comes out is what went in, in a different sequence.
Can I do this on a phone?
Yes, using the arrows under each thumbnail. Dragging on a touchscreen works in some browsers and is awkward in most, so the arrows are the reliable route.
