About the Rotate PDF

Scanned documents and phone captures often come out sideways or upside down, and a mix of portrait and landscape pages is common in reports. Rotating them properly makes the file comfortable to read on screen and print correctly.

This tool changes each page's rotation setting rather than re-drawing its contents, so text remains selectable and searchable and the file size stays almost the same. Previews show every page so you can fix only the ones that need it, and your document is processed in the browser without being uploaded.

How to use the Rotate PDF

  1. 1

    Drop a PDF onto the page or choose one from your device. A preview of every page appears.

  2. 2

    Use the arrows under a page to turn it left or right, or All left / All right to turn every page.

  3. 3

    Press “Save rotated PDF” to download the result. Reset undoes all turns.

Examples

1Fix two sideways scans in a 5-page report
Before
turn 0, 90, 0, 90, 0
After
report-rotated.pdf with page rotations 0°, 90°, 0°, 90°, 0°
2Turns add up, and left is negative
Before
turn -90, 180, 450
After
report-rotated.pdf with page rotations 270°, 180°, 90°

Good to know

  • Pages turn in 90° steps. Straightening a slightly skewed scan needs an image editor.
  • Password-protected PDFs cannot be rotated. Remove the password in your PDF reader first.
  • Previews are drawn on your device, so very long documents take a moment to show every page. You can rotate and save before all previews have appeared.

Frequently asked questions

Does rotating reduce quality?

No. Only each page's rotation setting changes; text, images and links are copied exactly, and text stays selectable.

Will the rotation stick when I open the file elsewhere?

Yes. The rotation is saved in the PDF, so every reader and printer shows the pages the new way round.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Files are opened and processed in your browser, in a background thread. Nothing is uploaded, so the tool also works for confidential documents.
