Frequently asked questions

Will rearranging pages alter the content or formatting of my PDF?

No. Rearranging only changes the display order of pages by copying their structural index nodes. Your text, fonts, and layout remain completely unaltered.

Can I drag and drop pages to any position in the document?

Yes. The interactive thumbnail grid supports drag-and-drop reordering. You can also use the up/down arrow buttons for precise single-step moves.

What if I want to undo my changes and start over?

The sidebar includes a Reset to Original button that instantly restores the original page order. You can also reload the file to start fresh.

Are my files stored on a server during the reordering process?

No. The reordering process runs entirely inside your browser using local memory. Your files never leave your device.

How many pages can I reorder in a single PDF?

You can reorder documents of any page length up to our maximum 100MB file capacity. There are no page count restrictions.
