About Organize PDF

Organize PDF rebuilds a document from its own pages in the order and orientation you set, so you can fix a file before sending it instead of scanning or exporting it again. Every page is shown as a numbered thumbnail. You can drag it to a new position, turn it 90 degrees either way or upside down, mark it for deletion, make a copy that lands right after it, or insert an empty page before or after it. Selections work across the whole document, which turns jobs like rotating every even page of a scan or moving an appendix to the front into a couple of clicks.

Two whole-document actions cover common scanner mishaps: Reverse order flips a stack that was fed last page first, and Collate a double-sided scan interleaves a file that holds all the front sides followed by the back sides in reverse.

The new PDF is assembled with pdf-lib from the original page objects, so text stays selectable, images keep their resolution and nothing is redrawn. Links between pages you keep, fillable form fields, the title and the author are preserved, while the bookmark sidebar of the source is not copied. Deleted pages are left out of the file together with the fonts and images that only they used. The tool doesn't combine several PDFs, edit what is printed on a page or change page sizes.

Privacy

Pages are previewed with PDF.js and the new document is written by pdf-lib in a Web Worker inside this tab, so neither the PDF nor its pages ever leave your device, and nothing is kept once you close the page. A password-protected or damaged file is unlocked or repaired locally by qpdf, a 1.3 MB WebAssembly engine fetched from this site only when it's needed.

Features

Drag, drop or use the keyboard

Reorder by dragging, with press-and-hold on touch screens, or move a focused page with the arrow keys.

Lossless rotation

Pages turn by changing their rotation flag, so nothing is re-rendered or compressed.

Copies and blank pages

Duplicate a page right next to itself or add an empty one sized like its neighbour.

Scanner fixes

Reverse a stack that was scanned backwards or collate the fronts and backs of a double-sided scan.

Undo every step

Go back and forth through up to 100 changes with Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z.

Organize PDF: frequently asked questions

How do I change the order of pages in a PDF?
Open the file, then drag a thumbnail and drop it where it belongs; on a phone, press and hold a page until it lifts. For long documents, select the pages you want to move and press To start or To end. With a keyboard, focus a page and use the arrow keys. Press Save PDF once the order looks right.
Can I undo a mistake?
Yes. Every move, rotation, copy, deletion and inserted page is a step you can take back with the Undo button or Ctrl+Z, and Redo or Ctrl+Shift+Z brings it back again. Up to 100 steps are remembered while the page stays open, and Reset all changes returns to the original file in a single click.
Does rotating or deleting pages lower the quality?
No. Rotation changes the page's rotation setting, the same flag every PDF reader respects, so text and pictures are not redrawn or recompressed. Deleted pages are simply not copied into the new file, along with any images only they used, which often makes it smaller. The pages you keep carry exactly the same text, fonts and images as before.
How do I insert a blank page into a PDF?
Open the menu on a page and choose Add blank page after or Add blank page before, press B on a focused page, or use the blank page button in the Page order panel. The empty page takes the size and orientation of the page in front of it, so a spacer for double-sided printing lines up with its neighbours.
What happens to links, forms and bookmarks?
Links that point to another page you keep lead to that page in the new file, and links to deleted pages are switched off. Fillable form fields stay fillable, and the document title and author are copied across. The bookmark list of the original isn't carried over, so recreate bookmarks in a PDF editor afterwards if your readers rely on them.
