How to use it
- Choose a PDF file or drop it on the box. The thumbnails appear as the pages come into view.
- Drag a page to a new place, or select a page and use the up and down arrows to move it.
- Click the turn button to rotate a page 90 degrees clockwise, and the cross to take a page out of the result.
- Click Save PDF, then Download to keep the new file. Use Reset first to go back to the original order.
Your PDF stays on your device
Most online PDF tools upload your file to their server, change it there and send it back. This page reads the file in your browser with pdf.js, draws the thumbnails with it and rearranges the pages with the open-source pdf-lib library. Nothing is sent anywhere.
That keeps contracts, payslips and scanned documents on your own device. You can check it yourself: load the page, turn off your internet connection and organize the pages.
What changes and what stays
Each page is copied with its text, images and drawings unchanged, and its size stays the same. A turn does not redraw the page: it is stored with the page as its rotation, so the page opens in that direction in every PDF reader.
- Kept: text, images, vector drawings, page size, and the links on each page.
- Not kept: the bookmark panel (outline) of the original file.
- Removed pages are left out of the new file only. Your original file is not changed.
Long documents
A thumbnail is drawn only for the pages on or near the screen, and the picture of a page you scroll far past is removed again. A 300-page file therefore needs little more memory than a short one, although a very large file may still need a computer rather than a phone.
Example: a contract with one sideways page
Your contract has 4 pages. Page 1 is a cover you do not need, and page 3 is a scanned table lying on its side. Remove page 1, drag page 4 to the front and click the turn button once on page 3.
The new file has 3 pages in the order 4, 2, 3, and the table page now reads upright.
Frequently asked questions
Are my PDF files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser reads the file, draws the thumbnails and saves the new PDF on your own device. Nothing is sent to our server, which you can check with your internet connection turned off after the page has loaded.
Does turning a page change the page itself?
No. The text and images stay as they were. The turn is stored as the page's rotation, so the page is shown sideways or upright in every PDF reader, and nothing is redrawn as a picture.
Can I get back a page I removed?
Yes, until you save. The Reset button restores the original order and every page with its turn cleared. After you save, start again from your original file, which is never changed.
Will the saved pages look as sharp as the original?
Yes. The thumbnails are small pictures used only to find pages. The saved file contains the original pages, so text stays sharp and searchable.
Why is my PDF refused as encrypted?
An encrypted PDF cannot be copied page by page without its password. Open it in a PDF reader, print it to a new PDF if you are allowed to, and choose that copy here.
