How to reorder, rotate and number PDF pages without losing quality

Scanned documents rarely come out right: a page upside down, two pages swapped, a blank back side in between. Applications often ask for one tidy PDF with numbered pages.

Everything on one screen

Drop one or more PDFs into the PDF organizer. Each page becomes a thumbnail you can:

  • drag into a new position (or move with the buttons on a phone),
  • rotate left or right,
  • delete if it's blank or duplicated.

Pages from several files can be mixed in any order — useful for putting an ID, a form and a proof of address into one application file.

Page numbers

Tick “Add page numbers”, choose the position and a format: 1, 1 / 12 or - 1 -. You can start at any number, for example to continue numbering from another document. Numbers follow the page rotation, so they always sit at the visual bottom.

Quality stays the same

Many online tools convert pages to images. Here pages are copied as they are: text stays selectable, links keep working and images aren't re-compressed. Rotation only changes the page's orientation setting.
