Reverse pages

Flip the page order of a PDF from back to front.

0 B uploaded to any server

Add a file first.

Sometimes a document arrives back to front. A stack fed into a scanner face-up comes out with the last page first; a fax bridge or an old copier can do the same. This tool flips the page order in one operation, and shows you the order before and after so you can confirm it is the problem you actually have.

It reverses everything. If only part of the document is out of order — a section pasted in backwards, say — the thumbnail grid in Rearrange pages is the right tool, because there you move exactly the pages that are wrong.

How it works

  1. Drop in a PDF.
  2. Check the before-and-after page order shown for the file.
  3. Reverse and download the result.

What people use it for

  • Fixing a scan that came out last-page-first from a face-up feeder.
  • Turning a document that was printed and scanned in reverse back into reading order.
  • Reversing a deck of pages before feeding it into another tool that expects the other order.

Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The file is opened by JavaScript and WebAssembly running inside your own browser tab. It is never uploaded, there is no server-side processing and nothing is stored — closing the tab discards everything.
Only some pages are in the wrong order.
Reversing will not help — it flips the whole document. Use Rearrange pages and drag the misplaced ones into position.
Are bookmarks and links still correct afterwards?
Links that point at a page follow that page. An outline written against the old numbering will now read in reverse, which is worth checking with the Edit bookmarks tool on a document that has one.
Does it re-encode the pages?
No. The pages are the same objects in the opposite order, so quality, fonts and file size are unchanged.
Can I reverse only a range of pages?
Not here. Extract the range with Extract pages, reverse that file, and put it back with Organize — or move the pages by hand in the thumbnail grid, which is quicker for a short range.
