PDFConvertersOnline.comHow to organize PDF pages
- Open a PDF. Use Add another PDF if you want to bring in pages from more files.
- Drag pages into place and use the buttons on each page to rotate, duplicate or delete it.
- Press Save PDF to download the reorganized document.
A page sorter in your browser
Sometimes a document is nearly right: the appendix belongs at the end, one page is sideways, a page is missing and another is there twice. Organize PDF shows all pages as a grid of thumbnails and lets you fix all of it before saving once. The previews update as you work, so what you see is what you'll download.
What you can do with each page
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Move | Drag the page to a new spot in the grid |
| Rotate | Turn arrow on the page (90° clockwise per click) |
| Duplicate | Copy button; the copy appears right after the page |
| Delete | Trash button |
| Insert a blank page | Select a page by clicking it, then press Insert blank page |
| Flip the whole order | Reverse order in the top bar |
The numbers under the thumbnails always show the final position, so page 1 is the first page of the file you'll save.
Combining pages from several PDFs
Press Add another PDF to append the pages of more files to the grid. Once there is more than one source, each thumbnail gets a small colored letter (A, B, C…) that shows which file it came from. You can then weave the pages together: for example, put a signed page from one file between pages of another, or interleave a scan of odd pages with a scan of even pages. If you just want to join whole files end to end, Merge PDF is simpler.
Blank pages and reverse order
A new blank page takes the size and orientation of the selected page, or of the last page when nothing is selected, so it fits into the document neatly. Blank pages are useful for making each chapter start on a right-hand page when printing double-sided, or for leaving room for handwritten notes.
Reverse order is made for scans: many sheet feeders output a stack that ends up last page first. One click puts it back the right way round.
Using it on a phone or tablet
The page buttons are always visible on small screens, so rotating, duplicating and deleting work with a tap. When you drag with a finger, start with a sideways movement: an up or down swipe scrolls the page instead of moving the thumbnail. For long documents, a computer with a mouse is more comfortable.
Quality and privacy
Pages are copied into the new file as they are, which keeps text selectable and images at full resolution. Bookmarks from the source files are not carried over. All processing happens locally in your browser, so documents from different sources can be combined without any of them leaving your computer or phone.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change the order of pages in a PDF?
Open the file here and drag each page thumbnail to its new position. The number under each page shows where it will end up. Then press Save PDF.
Can I add pages from another PDF?
Yes. Press Add another PDF and choose one or more files. Their pages are added to the end of the grid, and you can drag them anywhere.
What size is an inserted blank page?
It copies the size and orientation of the selected page, or of the last page in the grid if no page is selected.
Is there an undo button?
There's no step-by-step undo. You can put a page back by dragging it, turn it again to undo a rotation, or use Start over after saving. Your original file is never changed.
Does organizing a PDF keep links and form fields?
Pages keep their visible content. Interactive extras such as bookmarks, and sometimes form fields or links to other pages, may not survive the reordering.
