Reorder PDF pages in any sequence

Updated 28 September 2026

To reorder PDF pages, drop the file here, type the page numbers in the sequence you want and download the new PDF. Moving the summary on page 10 of a 10-page report to the front takes one entry: 10.

All of this happens in your browser. The PDF is not uploaded and we never receive a copy, so contracts, bank statements and HR files can be rearranged without leaving your device.

How to put PDF pages in a new order

1. Drag your PDF, or a folder of PDFs, onto the page.
2. Type the new sequence, for example 2,1,3-12, or tick reverse.
3. Tick the drop option if the pages you left out should go.
4. Click Reorder and download the PDF, or the ZIP for a batch.
5. Open the result and look over the opening pages.

What the order field accepts

Each number is a page's place in the file, and the first page is 1. Commas separate entries and a hyphen marks a run. 2,1 swaps the first two pages. 1,6-10,2-5 lifts a five-page appendix up behind the cover.

You only list the pages that move. Everything you leave out follows the listed pages in its original order, which is why 10 alone was enough in the example above. On a seven-page file, 5,6 produces 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7. Tick the drop option if those leftovers should disappear instead.

A number entered twice puts that page in twice. 1-4,1,5-8 repeats the cover in front of the second half, handy when the file is printed as two separate handouts.

For a stack that went through the scanner last page first, skip the typing and tick reverse. The final page moves to the front and the rest follow backwards.

One fix for a whole folder

Drop a folder instead of a single PDF. In the browser there is no batch cap and no daily allowance, and the order you type is applied to each file. Every PDF can be up to 50 MB for free, or 500 MB on Pro. How long a big batch takes depends on your computer. Save the results one at a time or as a single ZIP.

When a set needs more than a new order, a pipeline chains the steps, for example reorder, then compress, then rename, over every file in one run. Pipelines are free to try on 3 files, and Pro runs them on up to 500. For one large job without a subscription, a credit covers 25 files, and credits never expire.

Pages move, content stays

Reordering shifts whole pages and leaves what is on them alone. Text you could select before can still be selected, pictures keep their full resolution, and the new PDF is about as large as the old one. Scanned pages move exactly like digital ones. The result is saved as a new file, and your original stays as it was.

Bookmarks and internal links are the exception. They can keep pointing at a page's old position, or they can be dropped, so click through them if readers rely on them.
