Reorder and delete PDF pages
See every page as a thumbnail, drag them into the order you want, remove the extras. Saved on your device.
Done
Open the network tab. It stays empty.
Add files and run the tool to see every request this tab makes.
Your files are processed on this device and never sent to a server. Reload the page to clear everything from memory.
How it works
- Drop a PDF. Every page appears as a thumbnail.
- Drag pages into a new order, or use the arrows. Click the × on a page to delete it, or type an order like 3, 1, 2.
- Save. The new PDF downloads with only the pages you kept, in your order.
In your browser, not on a server
pdf.js renders a thumbnail of every page so you can see what you are moving. When you save, pdf-lib copies the pages you kept, in your order, into a new document. The page contents are not re-rendered or recompressed, so text stays text and images keep their quality.
Compared with upload-based tools: Reordering pages is a five-second job that upload-based tools turn into an upload, a queue and a download page, often behind a login or a daily cap. Here the thumbnails appear as fast as your device can draw them and the result is written in your tab.
Verify it yourself. Load this page, turn off Wi-Fi or switch to airplane mode, and run the tool. Or open your browser's developer tools (F12, or Cmd-Option-I on a Mac), pick the Network tab, and watch it while you convert. The panel above does the same count for you.
Questions
Does reordering change the quality of the pages?
No. Pages are copied into the new document as they are, with their text, images and vector graphics untouched. Only the order and the set of pages change.
Can I duplicate a page?
Yes. Type the order by hand and repeat a page number, for example 1, 1, 2 to get two copies of page 1.
What about bookmarks, links and form fields?
Text and graphics on every page are preserved. Links inside a page keep working. Document-level bookmarks (the outline) are not carried over because page numbers change; most viewers show the page list instead.
Is the PDF uploaded?
No. Thumbnails are rendered with pdf.js and the new file is written with pdf-lib, both running in your browser. Switch off your network after the page loads and it still works.
