All 26 toolsAbout this tool
Drag and drop page thumbnails to put your PDF's pages in exactly the order you need, then export a newly organized document.
Limits and edge cases
- Only the order changes. Every page is kept exactly once, so this tool cannot delete or duplicate pages.
- Page numbers printed on the pages are part of the page content and are not renumbered.
- There is no undo or reset button. To start over, choose "Change file" and load the document again.
- An encrypted PDF fails at the thumbnail step with a message that it may be corrupted or encrypted, so remove the password first.
- Every thumbnail is rendered up front, so a very long document takes a while to appear and uses more memory.
- Reordering relies on the browser's native drag and drop, so a device or browser that does not support dragging elements will not be able to move pages.
Before you reorder PDF pages: pick the right tool for the problem
Dragging is the right answer when every page you need is already in the file and only the sequence is wrong. Many order problems are really something else, so check this list first.
- One page is unwanted. This tool keeps every page, so remove it first with Delete PDF Pages, then arrange the rest.
- A page is sideways or upside down. Moving it will not fix that. Turn it with Rotate PDF before or after you reorder.
- You only need some of the pages. Reordering keeps every page. To end up with a shorter file, extract pages from PDF first, then arrange the pages you kept.
- The pages live in two files. Join them with Merge PDF, then open the combined file here, since this page takes a single document.
- The page numbers look wrong afterwards. Numbers already printed on a page travel with it. Once the order is final, stamp fresh numbers with Add Page Numbers.
