Rotate PDF

Fix sideways or upside-down pages for good. Rotate the whole PDF or just the pages that need it, check the thumbnails, and download a file that opens the right way up everywhere.

How to use

  1. Choose a PDF or drag it onto the page.
  2. To rotate everything, use Rotate all left or Rotate all right in the toolbar.
  3. To rotate single pages, use the rotate buttons under each thumbnail, or select several pages first and rotate them together.
  4. Click Download rotated PDF.

Options explained

Rotate left / right
Turns pages 90° counter-clockwise or clockwise. Click twice for 180°.
Selected pages only
When pages are selected, the toolbar buttons rotate only those pages. Type a range like "2, 5-7" to select pages quickly.

Examples

Scanned contract. Pages 4 and 5 were fed in sideways. Type 4-5, press Select pages, then Rotate selected right.

Upside-down scan. The whole document is upside down — click Rotate all right twice.

Frequently asked questions

Is the rotation permanent?

Yes. The rotation is saved in the PDF itself, so the pages open the right way up in every reader, not just on your computer.

Does rotating reduce quality?

No. PDF pages have a rotation setting; the tool changes that setting and leaves the text and images untouched.

Are bookmarks, links and form fields kept?

Yes, when you only rotate pages. The file is edited in place, so everything else in the document stays as it was.

Why does my PDF viewer's rotate button not save?

Most viewers only rotate the view. To change the file you need to save the rotation into it, which is what this tool does.
