Visual preview, See page thumbnails to easily identify and move pages.

Drag pages, not filenames
We expose the page array and let you drag thumbnails to sequence, then rebuild via pdf-lib. Bookmarks move with pages where supported; interactive forms may flatten inspect if you rely on them.

What is this tool?
Reorder PDF changes page order inside a PDF. You have a scan where pages 3 and 4 are swapped or you want the appendix first. You need this to fix order without re-scanning. Our tool shows page previews you drag to reorder and then writes a new PDF in that order locally.
How it works
We use pdf-lib, pdfjs-dist, mammoth, and SheetJS locally. Files are read via FileReader into memory, parsed, and a new file is written. For PDFs we keep or reorder page dictionaries, for Word/Excel we map styles to PDF. All happens in your browser no upload with thumbnail previews where helpful. Very large files or 200+ pages may hit phone memory, so split first if needed.
