Rotate PDF

How to rotate a PDF

1. Drop your PDF on the box above, or click to choose it.
2. Press rotate right, rotate 180, or rotate left.
3. The tool turns every page.
4. Rotate again to add more turn, then download.

Fix sideways pages

Scans and phone photos often come out sideways or upside down. Rotating turns the whole document so it reads the right way up. Each press adds another quarter turn, so you can keep going until the pages face the way you want.

Every page turns together

This tool rotates all pages by the same amount, which is what you usually want for a document that was scanned in one direction. The turn is saved into the file itself, so the PDF opens the right way up everywhere, not just on your screen.

Quality is kept

Rotating only changes the direction of the pages. It does not re-draw or re-compress them, so nothing loses quality and any selectable text stays selectable. The file size barely changes.

FAQ

Can I rotate just one page?

This tool turns every page by the same amount. To rotate a single page, split the PDF first, rotate that page, then merge it back.

Does rotating lower the quality?

No. It only changes the page direction. Quality and selectable text are kept.

Will the PDF stay rotated on other devices?

Yes. The rotation is written into the file, so it opens the right way up everywhere.

Can I turn a page upside down?

Yes. Use rotate 180, or press a 90-degree turn twice.

Are my files private?

Yes. Rotating runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded or saved.

Will the pages stay rotated when I share the file?

Yes. This tool does rotate and save: the turn is written into the new PDF permanently, so the pages open the right way up everywhere. Rotating only in a viewer, by contrast, is lost the moment the file is sent.

Can I rotate PDF pages by different amounts?

The whole file turns together in 90 degree steps. To turn a PDF twice, run the tool again on the result, or rotate just some pages by splitting first, then merging back.
