How to swap two pages in a PDF
Type two page numbers, Page A and Page B, and the tool makes them trade places. Swap pages 2 and 5, and page 2 moves to spot 5 while page 5 moves to spot 2. Every other page stays right where it was. It is the quick fix for two pages that were scanned in the wrong order. Counting starts at 1. The two numbers have to be different, and both must be pages that exist. Pages are not redrawn, so text stays sharp and selectable. The new file downloads as swapped.pdf.
Your file stays on your device. Swapping pages happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to our servers or anyone else's. To check, open your browser's network panel, add a file, and watch for uploads. You will not see one. The new PDF downloads as swapped.pdf. When you close the tab, the copy in your browser is gone.
This tool is free. There is no account, no daily limit, and no watermark on the file you download. Both numbers must be pages in your file, and they must be different. Very large files depend on your device's memory, so a big scan may be slow on a phone.
If you see a message asking for a page that exists, check both numbers. Each must be from 1 up to the number of pages, and they cannot match. If your PDF will not open, it may be password-protected. Unlock it first with Unlock PDF, then try again. To move one page to a new spot without swapping, use the move-page tool. For a full reorder, use Organize PDF.

Common questions
How do I switch the order of two pages in a PDF?
Type the two page numbers in Page A and Page B. They trade places, and all the other pages stay put. If page 2 and page 4 are swapped, the new order is 1, 4, 3, 2, 5.
Is my PDF uploaded when I swap pages?
No. Your file stays on your device and is never uploaded. You get one new file named swapped.pdf, and your original is left untouched.
Will anything else in my PDF change?
No. Only the two pages you named change places. Text, pictures, and each page's size and direction stay as they were.
Is it free to swap two pages?
Yes, it's free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark.
