How to Use Organize PDF
- 1Drop one PDF, or several to combine them. Every page appears as a card; with several files, each card shows which file it came from (A, B and so on).
- 2Put the pages in order: drag a page, type its new position in the box under it, or use the arrows.
- 3Use the buttons under each page to rotate it, copy it, add a blank page after it or delete it. Tick several pages to rotate, delete or extract them together.
- 4Made a mistake? Undo (or Ctrl+Z) takes back the last change, and Reset returns to the original order.
- 5Click 'Save PDF' and download the result. To take some pages out into a file of their own instead, tick them and click 'Extract to new PDF'.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do with the pages?
Move them, rotate them left or right, copy them, delete them, and add a blank page after any of them. Tick several pages to rotate, delete or extract them in one go. Nothing changes in your file until you save, and the saved PDF has the pages in exactly the order shown.
Can I combine pages from several PDFs?
Yes. Drop several files at once, or click 'Add PDF' later. Their pages join the end of the grid, labelled A, B and so on, and you can mix them in any order before saving them as one PDF. The title and author come from the first file.
How do I extract some pages into a separate PDF?
Tick the pages and click 'Extract to new PDF'. They download as a new file, in the order they appear in the grid and turned the way you've set them, while the full document stays open for more changes.
Can I add a blank page?
Yes. The square button under a page adds an empty page straight after it, the same size as that page and turned the same way. It's useful for a blank back cover, or to keep double-sided printing in step.
Can I undo a change?
Yes. Undo, or Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on a Mac), takes back changes one at a time, up to fifty of them. Reset puts every page back in its original order, unrotated.
Are deleted pages really removed?
Yes. The new PDF is built from the pages you keep, so deleted pages' text and images aren't in the file at all. Bookmarks and fillable form fields belong to the document rather than its pages and aren't carried over; the pages themselves look exactly the same.
When should I use the single-purpose tools instead?
When you only need one job done. Reorder Pages, PDF Rotate, Delete Pages and Page Extractor each do just that, with fewer buttons. Organize PDF is for doing several of those at once, or for combining pages from more than one file.
Can I organize a password-protected PDF?
Not directly. A password-protected PDF is encrypted, and the tool tells you so instead of producing a broken file. Open it in your PDF viewer with the password, use Print → Save as PDF to make an unprotected copy, and use that.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser; the file is never uploaded to a server, so it stays on your device.
About Organize PDF
Organize PDF puts every page of a PDF in one grid, so you can sort out a document in one go: put the pages in order, turn sideways scans the right way up, drop pages you don't need, copy a page or add a blank one, and pull a few pages out into a file of their own. Add more PDFs and their pages join the grid, so you can combine documents and arrange them at the same time.
Every change can be undone, and nothing happens to your file until you save. The new PDF is built in your browser with pdf-lib: rotations are saved as page settings, so there's no loss of quality, deleted pages are left out of the file entirely, and nothing is uploaded.
