Rotate PDF pages

Rotate the pages of a PDF that were scanned sideways or upside down. Rotate a single page or the whole document, then download the corrected file. It runs in your browser with nothing uploaded.

How to rotate pdf

1. 1Open your PDF.
2. 2Use the rotate control on any page to turn it 90 degrees at a time.
3. 3Repeat until every page sits the right way up.
4. 4Download the corrected PDF.

When to use this tool

• A scanned page came out sideways or upside down and needs to be turned the right way.
• Only some pages in a multi-page scan are rotated wrong while the rest are fine.
• You photographed a document in landscape and need it to read as portrait.
• A PDF prints sideways and you want to fix the orientation before sending it again.
• Someone forwarded you a scan taken with a phone held the wrong way and it needs fixing before you use it.
• You're combining pages from two different scanners that saved orientation differently.

Tips for a better result

• Rotate in 90-degree steps and check the thumbnail after each click rather than guessing the final angle.
• Fix rotation before merging with other files, since it's harder to spot once pages are combined.
• If every page is rotated the same way, look for a rotate-all option instead of doing each one by hand.
• Open the downloaded result once to confirm it reads correctly on the device you'll actually use.
• Compare the thumbnail preview against the actual page content, not just its outline, to confirm the rotation looks right.

Privacy: what happens to your file

This runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, which rotates the pages you choose. Your file is never uploaded to a server, and nothing is stored once you close the tab.
