About the Rearrange PDF Pages
Tezmy's Rearrange PDF Pages tool shows a small preview of every page in your PDF so you can put them in the order you want. Drag pages on a computer, use the arrow buttons, or type a new position to jump a page straight there. While you're at it you can turn sideways pages and remove pages you don't need, then save a new PDF. Pages are copied as they are, so text stays sharp and searchable, and the whole job happens in your browser: your document is never uploaded.

When you need to rearrange PDF pages
- A scanner fed the pages in the wrong order, or back to front.
- You merged several files and one section ended up in the wrong place.
- A report's appendix should come after the main text, not before it.
- An application pack must follow a set order: form first, then ID, then proof of address.
- A page was scanned sideways and needs turning while you tidy up.
Three ways to move a page
On a computer, the quickest way is to drag a page and drop it where it belongs; the other pages make room as you move. The left and right arrows move a page one place at a time, which is best for small fixes.
For long documents, use the number box at the top of each page. It shows the page's current position: type a new number, for example 1 to send it to the front, and press Enter. The small “p.” label shows which page it was in the original file, so you never lose track. If everything is back to front, Reverse order flips the whole document at once.
Rotate and remove while you're at it
Each page has a rotate button that turns it a quarter turn to the right; press it twice to turn a page upside down. The preview turns too, so you can see the result before saving. The remove button leaves that page out of the new file, which is useful for blank scans or a cover sheet. To start over, click Reset.
For bigger jobs there are dedicated tools: Rotate PDF turns many pages at once, Delete PDF Pages removes pages by typing their numbers, and Split PDF saves a few pages as a separate file.
Tips for a tidy result
- Combining several files? Join them first with Merge PDF, then open the merged file here to fine-tune the order.
- Previews of long documents appear one by one. You can already start moving pages while the rest load.
- Bookmarks (the clickable outline some PDFs have in the sidebar) are not carried over, because they would point to the old page order.
- Need a smaller file for email afterwards? Run the new PDF through Compress PDF.
On a phone or computer, and private
The tool works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Chromebook. On a phone, tap Select PDF file and choose the document from Files or Downloads; the arrow buttons and position boxes are big enough for your finger. Everything happens on your device: the PDF isn't sent to our servers, so it's safe for contracts, bank statements and ID documents.

Frequently asked questions
How do I change the order of pages in a PDF?
Open your PDF here and you'll see every page. Drag a page to its new place (on a computer), tap the left and right arrows, or type the position you want in the box at the top of the page. Then click Save new PDF and download it.
Can I move a page from the end to the start?
Yes. Type 1 in that page's position box and press Enter, or tap somewhere else on the page. The page jumps straight to the front and the others move along.
How do I reverse the order of all pages?
Click Reverse order. The last page becomes the first, which is handy when a scanner fed the pages in backwards. You can still adjust single pages afterwards.
Can I rearrange PDF pages on my iPhone or Android phone?
Yes. It works in the phone's browser with nothing to install. Use the arrow buttons or type a position number, since dragging is made for a mouse.
Does rearranging pages lower the quality?
No. Pages are copied into the new file exactly as they are, not turned into pictures, so text stays sharp, searchable and selectable.
Can I remove or rotate pages at the same time?
Yes. Each page has a rotate button that turns it 90° to the right, and a remove button. The new PDF has the order, rotation and pages you chose. Made a mistake? Click Reset to start from the original order.
Is my original PDF changed?
No. You download a new PDF, and the file on your device stays exactly as it was.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The previews and the new PDF are made in your browser, so the document never leaves your device.
