How to use this tool
Upload the PDF, choose 90, 180 or 270 degrees clockwise, and either leave the page box empty to turn every page or list pages such as 2,4 or 3- (page 3 to the end). The file downloads with -rotated added to its name.
Worked example: a scan with two sideways pages
A 4-page scanned agreement has pages 2 and 4 lying on their side, with the text running upwards. Choose 90° and enter 2,4; pages 1 and 3 are left alone. If the text ran downwards instead, 270° is the right choice. Rotation adds to whatever the page already had, so turning a page by 90° twice leaves it at 180°, and 180° applied to an upside-down page puts it right.
Nothing is re-drawn: each page just gets a new orientation setting, so text stays selectable, scans stay sharp and the file size hardly changes. To fix pages that need different angles, rotate once per angle, feeding the result of the first run into the second.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will rotating pages change the file size or re-render the content?
No — rotation just sets a page-orientation flag in the PDF, exactly like the rotate control in Adobe Reader or a print dialog. The underlying page content (text, images, vectors) is untouched and unre-rendered, so quality is identical and the file size barely changes.
I rotated the page in my PDF viewer. Why is it still sideways when I send it?
Some viewers only turn your view of the page. In Adobe Acrobat Reader, View → Rotate View changes what you see but can't be saved, so the next person opens the file as it was. Rotating here writes the new orientation into the PDF itself, so it opens the right way up everywhere.
Does it work on a PDF that restricts editing?
No. Encrypted PDFs, including ones that open without a password but restrict changes, are refused with a message saying so. Remove the restriction with the owner password first.
