How do I rotate, delete or reorder pages in a PDF?
Open the PDF to see every page as a thumbnail, then rotate or delete individual pages and drag them into a new order before saving. The new file is assembled in the browser, so nothing is uploaded and the original never leaves your device.

What this page can do
- Thumbnail preview of every page
- Rotate a page by 90 degrees at a time
- Delete pages you do not want
- Reorder pages before saving
When to use this page
- A scan came out sideways, upside down, or with the pages in the wrong order.
- Deleting blank or duplicate pages before you save.
- You want to see a thumbnail of every page before committing to the change.
When to use something else
- You need to crop margins, edit page content or add a watermark — this rearranges pages, nothing else.
- The document has hundreds of pages and you are on a phone; every thumbnail is rendered in memory.
- You need bookmarks, form fields or annotations to survive the save.
How it compares with other options
A desktop PDF editor can edit the page itself, keep layers and forms, and undo changes across a session. In the browser, thumbnails are rendered with pdf.js and the saved file is rebuilt from the selected pages, so rendering cost grows with page count and document-level extras are not carried over. The advantage is that a private scan never leaves the device and there is nothing to install.
Where your files go
Nowhere. This page loads the code that does the work, and from then on the file you open is read by your own browser. There is no upload step, no temporary server copy and no cleanup to trust — the data never crosses the network, so there is nothing to delete afterwards. You can confirm it yourself: open your browser’s network panel while the tool runs and watch it stay quiet.
Questions about this tool
- Does this rebuild or re-compress my pages?
- No. The tool copies the pages you keep into a new document and only changes their order and rotation. The text, images and page sizes are untouched, so the result stays selectable and the same quality as the original.
- Why do the thumbnails look a little soft?
- Thumbnails are rendered small on purpose so a long document stays lightweight in memory. They are only a preview of layout and orientation — the saved pages are drawn from the original content, not from the preview, so nothing is lost.
- Is there a limit on how many pages I can organise?
- No server limit, but every thumbnail needs memory: a few hundred pages is comfortable on a desktop, and a very large document may be slow on a phone. If the page seems to stall, close other tabs and try again with a smaller file.
