Organize PDF pages

Move, turn and remove the pages of a PDF on a grid of page previews, right in your browser.

What it does

Organize PDF pages shows every page of a PDF as a tile, so you can put the pages in a new order, turn the ones that came out sideways and take out the ones you don’t need. Your original file isn’t changed: the result is a new PDF with your changes.

When no page is selected, the buttons act on the page you last clicked or moved to.

How to use it

  1. Drop your PDF on the box, paste it, or select Choose a file. Select “Try a sample” to see a 6-page example.
  2. Select pages by clicking them, or press Select all. Click a page again to clear it, or press Clear selection.
  3. Move pages with the mouse by dragging a tile. On a touch screen, drag the handle on the tile; a swipe anywhere else scrolls the page.
  4. With the keyboard, use the arrow keys to move between pages, Space to select, Enter to pick a page up and the arrow keys to move it, R and Shift+R to turn and Delete to remove.
  5. Select Download PDF, or press Ctrl+Enter (⌘+Enter on a Mac). The file is named after yours, such as report-organized.pdf. Press Esc to stop a save that’s still working.

Good to know

Limits

You can organize one PDF at a time, up to 100 MB and 500 pages. Adding another PDF replaces the one there.

Privacy

Your PDF stays on your device: the tool runs in your browser and doesn’t upload it. The new file starts without the original’s document details, such as title, author and the app that made it. Pictures inside the pages are copied as they are, along with any data they carry. When the site shows ads, Google can use cookies for them: in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google asks for your consent first, and elsewhere Google’s own policies apply. The Privacy page explains how.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move pages with the keyboard?

Press Tab to reach the pages, then use the arrow keys to go from page to page. Press Enter to pick a page up, move it with the arrow keys and press Enter again to drop it, or Escape to put it back where it was. Space selects a page, R turns it right, Shift+R turns it left and Delete removes it. With several pages selected, Move earlier and Move later move them together.

Does it change the quality of my pages?

No. Each page is copied as it is, with its text, pictures and size, so nothing is redrawn or compressed. Turning a page only changes how it's shown. The previews on the grid are small pictures for finding your way; the file you download has the full pages.

What isn't kept in the new file?

The document's bookmarks and its list of attachments aren't kept, and neither are the file's title and author or the accessibility tags that give screen readers the reading order. Form fields don't stay fillable. Comments and files attached to a page stay with that page. Web links keep working, but links that jump to another page in the same file may not.

Why is a protected PDF refused?

A PDF that needs a password to open, or one its owner locked with restrictions such as no printing or copying, can't be organized. The tool doesn't remove protection someone else set. Open the file in the app you normally use, save a copy without the protection, then add that copy.

How big a PDF can I organize?

One PDF at a time, up to 100 MB and 500 pages. Adding another PDF replaces the one there.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Your PDF is read and rearranged by your browser, on your device, and it isn't uploaded. The new file is made on your device too, and it's saved only when you select Download PDF or press Ctrl+Enter (⌘+Enter on a Mac).
