PDF Reorder / Delete — what it does
Rearranges or removes pages by typing the order you want instead of dragging thumbnails around — 3,1,2 or 2-4 is often far quicker for a long document. Pages are copied in your new order into a fresh file.
How to use PDF Reorder / Delete
- Open the PDF; the page count and a preview are shown.
- Type the order you want, using ranges where consecutive pages stay together: 3,1,2 or 2-4,1,5.
- Leave out any page number you want deleted — anything you do not list is not carried over.
- Review the preview order, then export the reordered file.
Worked example: a cover letter that must come first
A 30-page proposal was assembled with the cover letter as page 30. Typing 30,1-29 rebuilds the document in one line rather than thirty drag operations, and any page you never list — say page 7, a stale price table — is simply dropped from the export.

Frequently asked questions
- What is PDF Reorder / Delete?
- Rearrange page order or remove pages — type a new order like 3,1,2 or 2-4.
- Is PDF Reorder / Delete free to use?
- Yes — PDF Reorder / Delete is free to use, with no sign-up, no install and no account.
- Does PDF Reorder / Delete upload or store my data?
- No — PDF Reorder / Delete runs entirely in your browser, so your text, files and results never leave your device.
- Do I need to install anything to use PDF Reorder / Delete?
- No — it works in any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) with no downloads, accounts or plugins.
- Why type the order instead of dragging?
- Both work, but for a 100-page document dragging is slow and error-prone, while 1-5,9,6-8 expresses the intent in a few characters. Long scans are where this tool saves the most time.
- Can I duplicate a page by listing it twice?
- Yes. Listing a page number more than once exports it more than once, which is a quick way to create a blank-inside-page or a repeated template.
