Reversed on your device — never uploaded
This exists because of one specific and very common failure: sheet-feed scanners that stack pages face-up produce a document that reads from the last page backwards. It is a single deterministic operation with nothing to configure, which is why it gets its own tool rather than being buried in a page-organiser.

Why use this tool
Because a document scanned back-to-front is unreadable, and this is a two-second fix that most people solve by re-scanning.
Frequently asked questions
Why did my scanner produce a reversed PDF?
Sheet-feed scanners with a face-up output tray stack each scanned page on top of the last, so the final page ends up first. Many scanners have a "reverse output order" setting worth finding — but if the file already exists, this fixes it in one click.
Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read with FileReader, processed by pdf-lib inside your browser tab, and written back out as a download. There are no network requests. You can verify this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, go to the Network tab, and run the tool — you will see the library load once from a CDN and nothing else. This matters because the documents people organise are bank statements, ID scans and signed contracts.
Will this reduce the quality of my PDF?
No. Pages are copied wholesale from the source document into the new one — the content streams are not decoded or re-encoded. Text stays selectable, images stay at their original resolution, and vector graphics stay vector. What goes in comes out identical.
Can I reverse only part of the document?
Yes — enter a range and only those pages are reversed in place. The rest keep their positions. Useful when one section came out of the scanner backwards and the rest is fine.
