About this tool

Scanned documents often come out rotated 90 or 180 degrees from what you'd expect, especially when scanning from a phone or a feeder that doesn't detect page orientation. This tool applies a rotation to every page of your PDF and lets you preview the change before saving.

Use the rotate-left and rotate-right buttons to cycle through 90-degree increments until the preview looks right, then download the corrected file. The rotation is applied at the PDF page level, so it works regardless of what's on the page — text, scanned images, or both.

Why use it

  • Fixes sideways or upside-down pages
  • Applies to every page in the document
  • Live preview before you download
  • No quality loss — rotation only changes orientation
  • Runs entirely in your browser, no upload needed

Frequently asked questions

Does this rotate every page, or can I choose individual pages?

This tool rotates all pages of the document by the same amount, which covers the most common case of an entire scan coming out sideways.

Will rotating affect the quality of my PDF?

No, rotation only changes the page's orientation metadata and how it's displayed — the underlying content is untouched.

What if my document needs different rotations for different pages?

Split the PDF first using the Split PDF tool, rotate each part separately, then merge them back together with Merge PDF.

Can I rotate a password-protected PDF?

Remove the password with your PDF reader first, then rotate the unprotected file here.

Is my file uploaded to rotate it?

No, the rotation is applied locally in your browser and the file is never sent anywhere.
