Rearrange PDF pages

Put the pages of a PDF in the order you want. Drag the previews (or use the arrows), type an order like 3, 1-2, 4-, reverse the whole file, or fix a double-sided scan in one click. Free, no watermark, and your file never leaves your browser.

Page order

How it works

The tool reads your PDF with pdf-lib and copies the pages into a new file in the order you set. Nothing is re-rendered or re-compressed: text stays selectable, and fonts, images, links and page sizes are kept exactly. Previews are drawn with pdf.js. A page that has moved gets a blue outline and shows where it came from.

The order box works like a print dialog, and it updates as you drag: 5-7 is pages 5 to 7, 10- is page 10 to the end, and 9-5 runs backwards. Leave a page out to drop it, or type it twice to duplicate it.

Fix a double-sided scan

A scanner with a single-sided feeder gives you all the fronts first, then the backs in reverse order once you flip the stack: 1, 3, 5, 6, 4, 2 instead of 1 to 6. Collate duplex scan interleaves them back into reading order (first front, last page, second front, second-to-last page, and so on). If your scanner kept the backs in order (1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 6), type the order instead: 1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6. Odd then even puts pages 1, 3, 5… first and 2, 4, 6… after, for printing on both sides by hand.

Generating the PDFs yourself?

Building PDFs from pages or templates? Render them in the right order from the start. The Shotmint API renders PDFs straight from a URL or raw HTML in Chromium, with A4/Letter sizes, margins and backgrounds:

curl "https://shotmint.creasework.com/v1/pdf?url=https://example.com&format=A4" -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" -o page.pdf

Each render is 1 credit. €5 buys 2,000 with no subscription, and credits never expire. Try it without a key on URL to PDF and HTML to PDF.

FAQ

Is my PDF uploaded? No. Everything runs in JavaScript on this page, so your documents stay on your device. It works offline once the page has loaded.

Can I drag pages on a phone? Use the ◀ ▶ arrows under each page, or type the order. Dragging works with a mouse.

What about bookmarks and form fields? Bookmarks are kept and still open the right page after reordering. Fillable form fields are not carried over to the new file. Fill or flatten forms with fill PDF form first.

I want to combine pages from several PDFs. Use merge PDF first, then reorder the result here.

Why does it say password-protected? Encrypted PDFs can't be changed without the password. Save a copy without the password in your PDF viewer, then try again.
