Rotate PDF
Turn every page of a PDF a quarter turn right, a quarter turn left, or the whole way round. Pages scanned sideways are the usual reason — a document that arrives rotated is awkward to read on screen and prints wrong. The rotation is written into the file itself, so it stays fixed wherever the PDF is opened next.

How to rotate a PDF
- Select your PDF file.
- Choose how far to rotate — 90° right, 180°, or 90° left.
- Download the rotated PDF.
When you'd use this
- Sideways scans — A scanner or phone app saved the pages in landscape when they should be portrait.
- Upside-down pages — A double-sided scan where every alternate sheet came out inverted.
- Printing problems — A PDF that prints across the paper instead of down it.
- Reading on a phone — Rotating the file once is easier than tilting your head through twenty pages.
Good to know
- Every page turns together — The rotation applies to the whole document. To fix only some pages, extract them first, rotate those, and merge the result back.
- Nothing is re-rendered — Rotation is stored as an instruction inside the page, so text stays selectable and image quality is completely untouched.
- It is saved into the file — Unlike turning the view in a reader, this is part of the document — the next person who opens it sees it the right way up.
- Use 180° for inverted pages — A quarter turn fixes sideways pages; 180° is for pages that are upside down.
Frequently asked questions
Can I rotate just one page instead of all of them?
Not yet — Rotate PDF currently rotates every page by the same amount.
Does rotating affect the file's quality?
No — pages are rotated as a display instruction, not re-drawn, so there's no quality loss.
Can I rotate just one page?
Not directly. Use Extract PDF Pages to pull that page out, rotate the single-page file, then join it back with Merge PDF.
Will rotating make the file bigger?
No. The rotation is a small instruction stored in each page rather than a redrawing of it, so the file size stays essentially the same.
Why does my PDF still look rotated in one app?
A few readers remember their own view setting for a document. Close and reopen the file, or check it in a different reader — the saved rotation is in the file itself.
