What is Rotate PDF?
Rotate PDF fixes pages that appear sideways or upside down – a common problem with scanned documents, photos of receipts and landscape tables inserted into portrait reports. You can turn every page at once or only the ones that need it, in steps of 90 degrees, and see the result on the thumbnails before saving.
Lossless and private
Rotation in a PDF is a property of each page, so this tool simply updates that property instead of redrawing the content. The result keeps exactly the same quality and file size: text remains selectable and searchable, and images are not recompressed. The change is made in your browser with pdf-lib; the thumbnails are drawn with PDF.js. Your document is never uploaded and nothing is stored once you leave the page.
How to rotate pages
- Drop your PDF onto the drop zone or click Choose file.
- Click a thumbnail to turn that page 90° clockwise, or use the ↺ and ↻ buttons below it to choose the direction.
- To rotate the whole document, use Rotate all left or Rotate all right. Pages you already turned individually keep their extra rotation.
- Click Save rotated PDF and download the corrected file. Reset undoes every change before saving.
Examples
- A scanned contract in which every second page came out upside down: turn those pages 180°.
- A report with a wide spreadsheet printed in landscape: rotate that page so it reads correctly on screen.
- Photos converted to PDF from a phone held sideways: rotate them all to the left or right in one click.
Frequently asked questions
Is the rotation permanent?
Yes. The new orientation is saved in the downloaded document, so it looks right in any PDF reader, on any device and when printed. Your original file is not modified.
Can I rotate by an angle other than 90°?
The PDF format only allows page rotation in multiples of 90 degrees (90, 180 and 270). Slightly skewed scans need to be straightened with a scanning or image-editing application.
Does it work with password-protected files?
Encrypted documents must be unlocked first. If you know the password, remove it with Unlock PDF and then rotate the pages here.
