How to use it
- Drop your PDF here.
- Click a page's ↻ button to turn it 90° clockwise, or select several pages and use ↺ or ↻ in the toolbar.
- With nothing selected, ↺ all and ↻ all rotate every page.
- Click Download rotated PDF.
Why rotate a PDF
Sideways pages are one of the most common PDF annoyances:
- Scans where a page went into the feeder the wrong way.
- Phone captures of documents that saved in landscape.
- Mixed documents with a wide spreadsheet or chart page among portrait pages.
- Upside-down backs from double-sided scanning.
Rotating in a PDF viewer usually only changes your view for that session. This tool saves the rotation into the file, so the pages open the right way up for everyone, on every device, and print correctly.
One page, a selection or everything
| To rotate | Do this |
|---|---|
| One page 90° clockwise | Click the ↻ button under its thumbnail |
| One page upside down | Click ↻ twice (180°) |
| Several pages | Select them (click, Shift-click for a range), then ↺ or ↻ in the toolbar |
| Every other page | Click Odd or Even, then rotate |
| The whole document | With nothing selected, click ↺ all or ↻ all |
The thumbnail turns right away and the added angle appears under it (for example 5 · 180°). Undo (↶) steps back one change at a time. Even is especially handy when every back page of a duplex scan came out upside down: select them all in one click and rotate them 180°.
Lossless rotation
Rotation is stored as a page setting in the PDF (0°, 90°, 180° or 270°), which is how PDF readers expect it. Nothing is re-rendered, so text stays sharp and selectable, images are not recompressed, and the file size barely changes, even if you rotate the same file several times.
Bookmarks and form fields may not carry over to the new file, and a digital signature becomes invalid once the document changes, so rotate before signing.
Tips
- Landscape pages that should stay landscape (wide tables or charts) are fine as they are; rotate only pages that read sideways.
- Tilted scans (a few degrees off) can't be fixed with 90° steps. Rescan, or recapture the page with Scan to PDF, which straightens it.
- Run OCR after rotating. OCR PDF recognizes text much more accurately on upright pages.
- Pages also out of order or blank? You can drag and delete pages here too; see Rearrange PDF pages and Delete PDF pages.
- Password-protected? Unlock it first with Remove PDF password.
Private and fast, even for big files
Your PDF is processed in your browser and never uploaded, and the original file on your device is not modified. Thumbnails render as you scroll, so even a 200-page, 100 MB PDF opens quickly. There is no account and no watermark.
A worked example
You scanned a 10-page report. Pages 4 and 7 came out sideways and page 9 is upside down. Open the PDF, click page 4, Ctrl-click page 7, and press ↻ in the toolbar: both turn 90°. Then click page 9's own ↻ button twice for 180°. The angle appears under each changed page, so you can check your work at a glance. Click Download rotated PDF and the corrected file opens the right way in any reader.
Frequently asked questions
How do I rotate just one page?
Click the ↻ button under that page's thumbnail. Each click turns it 90° clockwise.
How do I rotate counterclockwise?
Select the pages and click ↺ in the toolbar. With nothing selected, ↺ all rotates every page counterclockwise.
Is the rotation saved permanently?
Yes. The rotation is written into the PDF, so it opens the right way in any reader.
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. Only the page orientation setting changes; the content is untouched.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Rotation happens in your browser and the PDF stays on your device.
