How to Reorder Pages in a PDF

Scanners and merges do not always put pages in the right order. Reordering lets you drag pages where they belong without rebuilding the whole document.

When page order goes wrong

Double-sided scans often come out interleaved. Merged files can land out of sequence. A signature page might need to move to the end. Reordering fixes all of these visually, one drag at a time.

How to reorder PDF pages

  1. Open the Reorder PDF Pages tool.
  2. Add your PDF to see page thumbnails.
  3. Drag pages into the order you want. Rotate any that are sideways.
  4. Download the corrected document.

Pages are handled in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

Practical tips

  • Work from the thumbnails so you can see what you are moving.
  • Rotate upside-down scans here rather than re-scanning.
  • If you need to delete pages, the Split PDF tool can extract only the ones you want to keep.

Build the final document

Once pages are in order, you can combine this file with others using Merge PDF, or shrink it with Compress PDF.
