Step-by-step page organization workflow

  1. Upload your PDF: Click the upload area or drag and drop a PDF file into the tool. The app validates the file and loads the page list. Password-protected PDFs are not supported.
  2. Review all pages: After loading, the tool shows each page with its page number. Use the scroll area to quickly review the full document before making changes.
  3. Rotate specific pages: Use the rotate controls on each page card to rotate 90° clockwise or counter-clockwise. You can rotate a page multiple times until its orientation looks correct.
  4. Reorder pages: Use the provided move or drag controls (depending on your browser support) to change the order of pages. The final order in this list becomes the order in the new PDF.
  5. Adjust output settings: Set an output file name and, if available, tweak options like page size, margins, and background inclusion to control how the new PDF is built.
  6. Generate and download the new PDF: Click the button to rebuild the PDF with your new order and rotations. A progress indicator shows the current status. When processing is complete, download the updated PDF to your device.

FAQ

Does this PDF rotate/reorder tool upload my PDF to any server?

No. All page reading, reordering, rotation, and PDF generation happen entirely inside your browser using pdf-lib. Your PDF never leaves your device.

Why does the tool say my PDF is password-protected?

If pdf-lib cannot decrypt a PDF, it reports it as encrypted. Encrypted PDFs cannot be opened in the browser. Remove the password using your PDF viewer’s 'Save as' option and try again.

Can I reorder pages by dragging?

Yes. You can drag each page row to rearrange the order. The final PDF will follow this exact order.

How do page rotations work?

Each page has rotation controls (⟲ 90° and ⟳ 90°). You can rotate a page in 90° increments. The rotation is applied to the copied page in the output PDF.
