macOS and Windows. Your files stay on your computer.

Organize PDF pages on your Mac or PC. Private by default.

Fix a scan that came out of order, turn sideways pages upright and drop the pages nobody needs. Make one change across a whole batch, or drag thumbnails into place in the Page studio. Hangar saves a new copy on your computer and never touches the original.

How to organize PDF pages on Mac or Windows

Each mark is a moment in the recording above. Pick one to play it from there.

Organize pages in three steps

  1. Add your PDFs

    Drop one file or a batch. Each one comes back as a new copy with -organized in its name.

  2. Set one change for every file

    Keep odd or even pages, delete pages such as 1, 5-7, or reverse the order. It applies to every PDF in the queue.

  3. Fine-tune in the Page studio

    Drag pages into place, rotate, duplicate or delete them, and add blank pages between sections. That file follows your plan, the rest follow the panel.

Choose how to fix it

Quick fixes for a batch, or page by page.

Panel settings apply to every file and use each file’s original page numbers. The Page studio is for the one file that needs its own order.

  • Odd only

    Keeps pages 1, 3, 5 and drops the rest.

    Best for removing blank backs from a two-sided scan.

  • Reverse page order

    Turns the whole document back to front.

    Best for a scan that came through the feeder backwards.

  • Page studio

    Drag, rotate, duplicate, delete and add blank pages.

    Best for a draft that needs its own page plan.

The alternative

Why not just use Preview on a Mac?

Preview can drag, rotate and delete pages in one PDF, and it is free. It runs out when you have many files, or a Windows PC.

Questions

Before you download

More answers in the help center.

Is it really free?

Every tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.

Can I remove the cover page from many PDFs at once?

Yes. Type 1 in Delete pages and every PDF in the queue loses its first page.

Are fillable forms kept?

The form setup is not carried over, so fields may stop working. Organize the pages before you fill in a form, or keep the original for filling.

Can I rotate only some pages?

Yes. Rotation is per page, and it adds to whatever angle a page already carries, so you can straighten a single sideways scan.

Can I add blank pages?

Yes. In the Page studio, hover a gap between pages and click the plus sign to insert a blank page there. It takes the size of the page before it.

Does deleting pages break the bookmarks?

The organized copy has no bookmarks, and links that jump to another page of the same document stop working. Web links, comments, and the pages themselves are kept, and your original PDF is not changed.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.

Does one license cover Mac and Windows?

Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
