Rotate PDF pages and save the result

Fix sideways scans page by page, or rotate the whole file. Everything runs on your device — no upload, no account, no daily quota.

About this tool

A scan comes out sideways, or a form was saved in landscape by mistake. Rotating is a small fix that most tools require an upload for.

This tool changes the page rotation flag in the PDF, so the file opens correctly everywhere without re-rendering or losing quality.

How to rotate PDF

  1. 1 Add the PDF and choose 90°, 180° or 270°.
  2. 2 Apply the rotation to all pages, or pick individual pages from the preview grid.
  3. 3 Download the corrected file.

Good to know

  • Rotation is metadata-level: no pixels are re-encoded, so quality is untouched.
  • The rotation is relative to each page’s current rotation, not to the original scan.

Frequently asked questions

Does rotating reduce quality?

No. Only the page rotation value changes; text and images are not re-rendered.

Can I rotate just one page of a long document?

Yes. Choose "Selected pages" and click the pages in the preview grid. This is common when one page of a scan was fed in upside down.

Why does the page still look sideways in my viewer?

A few older viewers ignore the rotation flag. Re-saving the file in a desktop editor, or using compression here, bakes the rotation into the page content instead.
