Reorder PDF pages when you scanned them in the wrong order or need the summary page first. Drag the page previews into the order you want and save a new PDF in seconds. Then add page numbers to PDF pages, or merge PDF files into one.
How to reorder PDF pages
- Select the PDF.
- Drag the page previews to rearrange PDF pages. On phones, press and hold a page, then move it.
- Optionally rotate or remove pages with the buttons under each preview.
- Tap “Save new order” and download the PDF.
Tips for best results
- For a few pages, dragging is quickest. For reversing or picking a long range, Split PDF's extract option is faster.
- Turn sideways pages and remove blank ones in the same grid, so the final file is right in one save.
- On a phone, hold a page until it lifts before moving, and drop it on the page whose place it should take.
- Add page numbers after reordering, so the numbers match the final order.
Frequently asked questions
How do I drag pages on a phone?
Press and hold a page for a moment until it lifts, then move your finger and let go where the page should be. A quick swipe scrolls the page instead, so you won't move pages by accident.
Can I reorder with the keyboard?
Yes. Tab to a page, press Space to pick it up, use the arrow keys to move it and press Space again to drop it. Screen readers announce each move.
Can I reverse the whole PDF?
Use Split PDF's “Extract pages” and type the range backwards, for example 10-1, to get all pages in reverse order in one step.
Does reordering change the content?
No. Pages are copied exactly into the new order, and text, images and links inside them are unchanged.
Can I combine pages from two PDFs and order them?
Merge the PDFs first with Merge PDF, then open the merged file here and arrange the pages however you like.
