Rotate PDF
Upload a PDF, choose a rotation angle, and download the rotated file.
Overview
This tool rotates every page of a PDF clockwise by the angle you choose, relative to each page's existing orientation — useful when a document was scanned sideways or upside down.
Rotation is a page-display property, not a re-render — the underlying content is untouched, so text stays selectable and image quality is unaffected.
Examples
Fixing a sideways scan
scan.pdf (pages sideways), angle: 90
rotated.pdf (pages upright)
How It Works
- Choose a PDF file from your device.
- Choose a rotation angle: 90, 180, or 270 degrees clockwise.
- Click Rotate. The file is uploaded, every page is rotated, and the result is returned.
- Click Download to save the rotated PDF.
Use Cases
Fixing a sideways or upside-down scan
Scanners sometimes produce pages in the wrong orientation — rotate the whole file at once instead of one page at a time in a viewer.
Tips
- The rotation applies to every page in the file. If only some pages need rotating, split the PDF first with Split PDF, rotate just that piece, then merge it back with Merge PDF.
- 90 and 270 are mirror-image rotations (clockwise vs. counter-clockwise) — if 90 goes the wrong way, use 270 instead.
FAQ
Yes. Rotation requires a real PDF library, so the file is uploaded, processed in memory, and the result returned — nothing is stored.
Not directly in this tool — split out the page you need with Split PDF, rotate that single-page file, then merge it back in with Merge PDF.
No. Rotation only changes the page's display orientation — the underlying text and images are untouched.
