Reorder PDF pages — free forever
Put pages back in the right order.
Opens in the Reorder pages tool — you can switch to any other tool from the side panel once your PDF is loaded.
How it works
Drop your PDF on the Pelican Drop Desk.
Type the new page order, e.g. '3, 1, 2, 4-6'.
Click Run and download the reordered PDF.
Use cases
Fix a scan in the wrong order
Sheet-feed scanners sometimes flip a page. Move it back where it belongs.
Front-load the executive summary
Move the summary page to the front of a report before sending.
Build a custom reading order
Pull together pages in the order your audience needs, even out of the original sequence.
Free account & email verification

Your privacy
Your files are processed entirely in your browser — never uploaded to a PDF Pelican server. We only store anonymous analytics about which tools people use, never your file contents.
About this tool
Rearrange the pages of a PDF without re-scanning or re-exporting from the original app. Type the order you want and download the new file.
FAQ
How do I describe the new order?
List every page in the order you want, e.g. '3, 1, 2, 4-6'. You can repeat a page number to duplicate it.
Do I have to include every page?
No. Any page you leave out won't appear in the result. This means reorder doubles as a way to pick a subset of pages.
Is drag-and-drop coming?
Yes — the upcoming Workspace editor will offer a visual thumbnail-grid for reordering.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Pages are reshuffled in your browser using pdf-lib.
