How do I organize the pages of a PDF?

Drop your PDF onto the organizer. Drag thumbnails to new positions, or tap the up and down arrow buttons on each card to step them through the list. Click Download when the order is right.

Can I see the page content while I organize?

Yes. Every page is rendered as a thumbnail using pdfjs-dist, so you can see what each page looks like while you move it. Page numbers are shown on each card for reference.

Will my changes be saved if I refresh?

Page order is held in memory while the tab is open. Refreshing clears the state, so download the reorganized PDF before closing or refreshing the page.

Can I delete or rotate pages in the organizer?

The organizer changes the page order only. Remove unwanted pages with the delete PDF pages tool and turn sideways pages with rotate PDF, then load the result here to put the pages in order.

What else changes in the saved PDF?

Each page keeps its content, and links between pages follow them to their new positions. Bookmarks are not carried over, and the saved file starts with empty document properties, so its title and author are blank until you set them again, for example with the PDF metadata editor.

PDF Page Organizer

Organize the pages of a PDF using a visual thumbnail grid. Drag and drop on desktop or use the arrow buttons on mobile, then download the reorganized document. All processing runs in your browser.

How it works

This tool uses pdf-lib, a pure JavaScript PDF library that runs entirely in your browser, paired with pdfjs-dist for the thumbnail previews. When you drop a PDF, every page is rendered as a draggable card. On download, pdf-lib creates a new document, copies the pages in their new order, keeps links between pages pointing at the right page, and writes the rearranged file.

Processing runs in your browser

All reordering happens locally in your browser tab. The new PDF is built in memory and downloaded directly to your device. Our servers are not involved at any point.
