      How to rearrange pages in a PDF

      1. Choose a PDF or drop it on the box. A thumbnail of every page appears.
      2. Drag a page to its new place. Without a mouse, press Move under the page, use the arrow keys, and press Enter to put it down.
      3. Use the buttons under a page to turn it or delete it. Tick several pages to turn, duplicate, or delete them together.
      4. Press Save PDF and download the new file. Start over brings back the original order.

      How it works

      pdf.js draws a small picture of each page in your browser. Your edits are kept as a simple list: which original page sits in each place, and how far it is turned. When you save, pdf-lib builds a new PDF by copying the pages in that order.

      Turning a page only changes the page's rotation setting, a number stored in the file. The text and images inside are not redrawn, so nothing loses quality, and a duplicated page shares the same fonts and images as the original instead of storing them twice.

      Examples

      • Drag page 3 of the sample in front of page 1 and save: the new file reads 3, 1, 2.
      • Tick page 2, press Duplicate: the file now has 4 pages, with page 2 twice in a row.
      • A scanned form with page 2 upside down: press the turn button twice on that page, then save.
      • Delete the blank last page of an export by pressing its trash button.

      Limitations

      • One PDF at a time, up to 100 MB. To combine files first, use Merge PDF.
      • Pages turn in steps of 90 degrees.
      • Bookmarks are not kept in the saved file, since the pages they point to may have moved.
      • Password-protected PDFs can't be opened.

      Frequently asked questions

      Can I reorder PDF pages without dragging?

      Yes. Press Move under a page, then use the left and right arrow keys, and press Enter or Esc to put it down. Screen readers announce the new position.

      How do I delete pages from a PDF?

      Press the trash button under a page, or tick several pages and press Delete above the thumbnails. Then save the PDF. At least one page always stays.

      Does rearranging pages change the quality?

      No. Pages are copied as they are, with their fonts and images. Only their order and rotation setting change.

      Is my PDF uploaded?

      No. The thumbnails are drawn and the new PDF is written in your browser.
