How to Reorder Pages in a PDF Online for Free

Published 5 November 2026

Pages in the wrong order make a document hard to read. You can rearrange them in your browser in a few clicks.

Move a page

1. Open EditPDFFree and add your PDF.
2. Above each page you will see an up arrow and a down arrow.
3. Click the up arrow to move the page one place earlier, or the down arrow to move it one place later.
4. Keep clicking until the page is where you want it.
5. Click Download PDF.

The page numbers above each page update as you move them, so you can check the new order straight away.

Work faster on long files

• Use the minus zoom button to shrink the pages so more fit on the screen.
• Move the pages that are furthest away first.
• Remove pages you do not need with the trash button before you start sorting, so there is less to move.

Reorder after a merge

When you merge PDF files, the new pages are added at the end. Use the arrows to move them into the right spot. If a whole chapter has to go to the front, it is often quicker to open that file first and add the other file after it.

Common reasons for wrong order

• Pages were scanned in a different order than they appear in the document.
• Two-sided pages were scanned as two separate batches (fronts, then backs).
• A cover or index was added later.

Check before sharing

After you download the file, scroll through it once. Check the first and last pages and any section that starts on a new page.
