How it works

Phone scans and mixed-orientation reports often arrive with pages sideways or upside down. Every page is shown as a thumbnail; all are selected at first, so one click rotates the whole document. Click pages to change the selection, or type numbers such as 2, 4-6, then choose 90° clockwise, 180° or 90° counter-clockwise. The selected thumbnails turn to preview the result.

The rotation is saved in the file (the page's /Rotate setting), so the PDF opens the right way up in every viewer and prints correctly. Nothing is re-rendered: text, images and quality stay as they were, and the file size barely changes.

Which rotation do I need?

Look at a sideways thumbnail and ask where the top of the page is pointing now:

  • Mixed documents: select only the sideways pages by clicking their thumbnails, then rotate; the rest stay as they are.
  • Rotation changes how the page is shown and printed, not the page content, so signatures, stamps and form fields turn with the page.

  3. Pick the angle and check the preview.
  4. Click Rotate pages and download the file.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. The file is read and processed by your browser on your device; nothing is sent to a server. The PDF engine is downloaded from this site the first time you use a tool and then runs on your device.

Is the rotation permanent?

Yes. It is stored in the PDF, not just in a viewer, so anyone who opens the file sees the pages the right way up.

Can I rotate different pages by different angles?

Rotate one group, download, then load the result and rotate the next group. Each pass is instant.

Does rotating reduce quality?

No. Only the page orientation flag changes; the content is untouched.

Which way is 90°?

90° turns the page clockwise, like turning a sheet of paper to the right. Use 90° counter-clockwise (270°) to turn it the other way.
