Reorder PDF Pages

PDF & Documents

Drag PDF pages into a new order and export the rearranged file.

What is Reorder PDF Pages?

Reorder PDF Pages lets you rearrange a document into the sequence you actually want — move a page to the front, swap two sections, or fix a scan that came out in the wrong order. Every page shows as a thumbnail you can drag into place, or nudge with left and right arrows, and a badge on each one shows its new position. It works entirely in your browser with pdfjs for previews and pdf-lib to rebuild the file, so nothing is ever uploaded.

How to use Reorder PDF Pages

  1. Add your PDF

    Drop a PDF onto the page or click to browse. Each page renders as a thumbnail in its original order, with a progress badge for longer files.

  2. Drag pages into place

    Grab any page by its handle and drop it where you want it. The rest of the pages shuffle around it, and the position badge updates live.

  3. Or use the arrows

    Prefer precision? Use each page's left and right arrows to move it one slot at a time — handy for a single out-of-place page.

  4. Check the new order

    The number badge on each thumbnail shows its final position, and a 'was p3' label reminds you where it started. Restore original order resets everything if you change your mind.

  5. Download the reordered PDF

    Click Download reordered PDF. The pages are copied into a new document in your chosen order and it downloads instantly.
