Reorder PDF Pages

Upload a PDF and see a thumbnail preview of every page. Drag pages to rearrange them into any order you want, then download a new PDF with pages in the sequence you chose.

The tool renders each page as a thumbnail using pdfjs-dist (the same engine Firefox uses for its built-in PDF viewer), so you can visually confirm which page is which before reordering. The rebuilt PDF is assembled with pdf-lib, preserving content fidelity across the copy.

Everything runs in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to a server. Useful for reorganizing scanned documents, moving appendices, or fixing page-order mistakes before sharing a file.

Frequently asked questions

Does reordering preserve links, bookmarks, and form fields?

The tool copies page content faithfully, but interactive elements like cross-page links, bookmarks, and form field relationships may not survive the reorder because those reference specific page indices that change when you move pages.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Both the thumbnail rendering (pdfjs-dist) and the PDF assembly (pdf-lib) happen entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.

Is there a page limit?

There is no hard limit, but very large PDFs (hundreds of pages) may be slow because every page is rendered as a thumbnail. The reordering and download still work — it just takes longer to generate all the previews.
