Rotate PDF

Rotate selected pages of a PDF by 90°, 180° or 270°. Pick all pages or a custom range.

Loading tool…

Pages arrive sideways more often than they should — a scanner fed a landscape sheet in portrait, a phone photo saved with the wrong orientation flag, a fax gateway that rotates everything. Rotating writes a new orientation into the page itself, so the fix is permanent rather than a temporary view setting in your reader.

You can rotate the whole document or only the pages that are wrong, which matters for scans where a single foldout is landscape and the rest is not.

How it works

  1. Open the PDF.
  2. Choose 90° clockwise, 90° counter-clockwise or 180°.
  3. Apply it to all pages or to a specific range.
  4. Check the thumbnails and download.

What people use it for

  • Fixing a scan where every second page came out upside down from a duplex feeder.
  • Turning a landscape spreadsheet export so it reads correctly on screen.
  • Correcting phone-photographed documents before sending them on.

Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The file is opened by JavaScript and WebAssembly running inside your own browser tab. It is never uploaded, there is no server-side processing and nothing is stored — closing the tab discards everything.
Why does my reader show it correctly but it prints sideways?
Because the reader was applying a temporary view rotation that is not saved in the file. Rotating here writes the orientation into the document, so printing matches what you see.
Can I rotate just one page?
Yes — apply the rotation to a single page or a custom range instead of the whole document.
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. Only a page attribute changes; the content is not re-rendered or re-encoded.
