Put the pages in the right order. This is the fix for a duplex scanner that produced all the odd pages followed by all the even ones, or a merged file where an appendix landed in the middle.

- Enter the new sequence, listing every page number in the order you want.
- Download the rearranged document.
Fixing a two-pass duplex scan
Scanning a double-sided stack in two passes gives you pages 1, 3, 5 and so on, followed by the reverse sides. The content is all there, just interleaved wrongly.
For an eight-page document scanned that way, the sequence 1, 5, 2, 6, 3, 7, 4, 8 puts it back together. The pattern is: first page of the front pass, first page of the back pass, and so on.
If the second pass came out upside down, run Rotate PDF on it before reordering.
The sequence is the whole document
Whatever you type becomes the finished file, so every page you want to keep has to appear in the list. A page left out is dropped, which makes this a reordering tool and a filtering one at the same time.
Listing a page twice includes it twice - occasionally useful for a separator sheet, and an easy accident otherwise.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The file is opened and rewritten by your browser, so it never leaves your device. That matters for contracts, invoices and anything with personal data in it.
Can I drag pages around instead of typing numbers?
Not yet. Entering the sequence is precise and works the same on a phone as on a desktop, but visual reordering is a natural next step for this tool.
What happens to pages I leave out of the sequence?
They are not included in the new file. Your original stays untouched, so nothing is lost permanently.
