pagewell
Pick one file to reorganise, or several to merge. They're read straight into this browser tab — there is no upload endpoint to send them to.
Each page is rendered to a thumbnail with pdf.js so you can see what you're arranging. Rendering happens in a background Web Worker; nothing is sent anywhere.
Drag pages to reorder, rotate sideways scans, delete the ones you don't want, or tick a subset to split out. Made a mistake? Undo with Cmd/Ctrl‑Z.
pdf-lib copies the pages you kept into a fresh PDF — losslessly, in a worker. "Export all" merges everything; "Export selected" splits out just the ticked pages.
Download it, "Save As…" straight to disk with the File System Access API, or share it from your phone. Turn your Wi‑Fi off first if you want to prove it's all local.
Pagewell is a private, offline-first PDF page organiser. Merge files, reorder and rotate pages, delete junk, and split out just the pages you need — all without a single byte leaving your device.
It was built because every "free online PDF tool" asks you to upload documents that are often the most sensitive ones you own. Pagewell does the same job with zero servers involved.
