Interleave PDF Pages

Interleave PDF Pages interleaves the pages of two PDFs, or the two halves of one, for double-sided scans, using pdf-lib in your browser with no upload.

A: Fronts (odd pages)

Choose the fronts PDF

PDF file. Stays on your device, never uploaded.

B: Backs (even pages)

Choose the backs PDF

PDF file. Stays on your device, never uploaded.

Backs were scanned last page first

Leave this on if you flipped the whole stack over and fed it through again. Turn it off if the backs are already in order.

Interleave PDF Pages puts double-sided documents back together after a one-sided scanner. Scan all the fronts, flip the stack, scan all the backs, then add both files here and get one PDF in the right order: front 1, back 1, front 2, back 2. The backs can be reversed, since a flipped stack comes through last page first. It also works with a single PDF that holds all the fronts followed by all the backs. Everything runs in your browser with pdf-lib.

How to use it

  1. Choose Two PDFs, or One PDF if fronts and backs are in the same file.
  2. Add the fronts file and the backs file.
  3. Leave "Backs were scanned last page first" on if you flipped the stack; turn it off if the backs are already in order.
  4. Check the new order shown, then click "Mix & download PDF".

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Pages are copied with pdf-lib in your browser. Your files stay on your device.

Why would the backs be in reverse order?

When you flip a scanned stack over and feed it through again, the last sheet's back comes out first. Reversing fixes that so each back lands after its own front.

What if the two files have different page counts?

Pages are alternated while both files have pages, then the rest of the longer file is added at the end. A notice tells you when the counts differ.

How does the one-file option split the pages?

The first half of the file is treated as fronts and the second half as backs. With an odd page count the extra page counts as a front.

Does it change page quality?

No. Pages are copied as they are, not re-rendered or recompressed.
