Rotate a PDF

Drop a PDF and rotate any page 90 degrees left or right, as many times as you need. Fix a single sideways scan or turn every page at once, then download the corrected file.

How it works

Drop your PDF

Every page appears as a thumbnail at its current orientation.

Rotate what needs it

Turn a single page, or every page, 90 degrees at a time.

Download the fixed PDF

Same content, corrected orientation.

A sideways page is a common scanning mistake

Scan a stack of documents and it is common for one page to come out sideways, or for a whole batch to be upside down because it went through the feeder the wrong way. Reading it isn't hard, tilting your head, but sharing it or printing it is annoying for everyone else. This tool fixes the orientation directly, page by page or all at once.

How it works

Every page is shown as a thumbnail at its current orientation. Click the rotate buttons under any page to turn it 90 degrees left or right; click again to keep turning, a page rotated three times ends up 270 degrees from where it started, which is the same as 90 degrees the other way. The thumbnail updates immediately so you can check it looks right before downloading.

One page or the whole document

Fix a single sideways page in an otherwise correct document, or rotate every page the same way if the whole file came out wrong. Each page is independent, so a batch that mixes correct and incorrect orientations can be fixed in one pass.

What stays the same

Rotating a page changes its orientation, not its content or quality: nothing is re-rendered or recompressed. The rotation is stored the same way a PDF reader itself rotates a page, which every standard PDF viewer respects.

What it does not do

This turns pages in 90-degree steps; it does not fix a scan that is only slightly tilted by a few degrees, which needs the deskew tool instead. Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

How do I rotate a page in a PDF?
Drop the PDF and click the rotate left or right button under the page that needs it. Download when every page looks correct.
Can I rotate the whole document at once?
Yes, click the same rotate button under each page, or repeat the action if every page needs the same turn.
Can I rotate different pages in different directions?
Yes, each page is rotated independently, so a mixed batch can be fixed in one pass.
Does rotating reduce the quality of the page?
No, the content is not re-rendered or recompressed. Only the page's orientation changes.
What if my scan is just slightly tilted, not sideways?
Rotation here works in 90-degree steps. For a small tilt of a few degrees, use the deskew tool instead.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. It is processed entirely in your browser.
