How to organize PDF pages

  1. Select Choose files or drop one or more PDFs on the box. Every page appears as a small preview.
  2. To reorder, drag a page to its new place, or use the ← and → buttons under it.
  3. Use ↺ and ↻ to rotate a page, and Delete to drop it. Restore brings it back.
  4. Add more PDFs at any time to merge them in. Use Remove on a file chip to take a whole file out.
  5. Select Create PDF, then Download.

If a file is locked, you are asked for its password before its pages show.

Keyboard and touch

Every action is a real button, so you can do everything with the Tab and Enter keys. After you move a page, the focus stays on the same page, so you can press the arrow button again to keep moving it. On phones and tablets, dragging can be fiddly, so the arrow buttons are the easy way.

What you get

A new PDF with exactly the pages you kept, in the order shown, each with the rotation you chose. Rotation is added to whatever the page already had. Text, images, fonts and links stay intact because pages are copied rather than redrawn. Form fields and bookmarks that belong to a page may not carry over when files are merged, which is normal for any tool that rebuilds a document.

Good uses

  • Put scanned pages in the right order after a feeder jam.
  • Pull a few pages out of a long report and reorder the rest.
  • Combine a contract with its appendix and move the signature page to the end.
  • Fix sideways pages without rotating the whole document.

Tips

Pages are previewed with pdf.js and assembled with pdf-lib on your device. Your files are never uploaded.

Questions

How do I change the order of pages in a PDF?

Drag a page card to a new spot, or use the left and right arrow buttons under it. The buttons work with a keyboard and on phones.

Can I merge files and reorder pages in one go?

Yes. Add several PDFs and all their pages appear in one grid. Reorder, delete or rotate any of them, then create a single file.

Is a deleted page gone for good?

Not until you create the new file. A deleted page is only dimmed, and you can restore it. The original file is never changed.

Will the quality of my pages change?

No. Pages are copied as they are, with their text, images and links. Only the order, rotation and selection change.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Previews are drawn and the new file is built in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
