Rotate PDF

Turn sideways or upside-down PDF pages the right way up. Rotate single pages or the whole file and save it.

Nothing you enter leaves your device. Everything runs in your browser.

How to use it

  1. Press "Choose PDF file" or drop a PDF on the box.
  2. Tap a page to turn it 90° clockwise; tap again to keep turning.
  3. To turn every page, press "↺ Turn all left" or "↻ Turn all right". "Undo all" starts again.
  4. Press "Save rotated PDF" and download the file.

Rotate and save, not just view

Most PDF readers let you rotate the view, but the file stays the same and opens sideways again next time, or for the person you send it to. This tool saves the turn into the PDF itself, so the pages open the right way up everywhere: on phones, in email previews and when printed.

Turning single pages or all of them

Each tap turns a page a quarter turn (90°) clockwise, and the picture turns with it so you can see the result before saving. Two taps make 180° for upside-down pages, three taps make 270°, and a fourth tap brings the page back to how it started. “↺ Turn all left” and “↻ Turn all right” turn every page at once, which is handy for a scan that came out sideways. You can mix both: turn everything, then fix the odd page that was already correct. The counter shows how many pages will change, and pages you haven’t touched are saved exactly as they were. Nothing is saved until you press “Save rotated PDF”, so you can experiment freely.

What happens to the content

Rotation is stored as a page setting, the same way PDF software does it. Nothing on the page is redrawn or re-compressed, so text stays selectable and searchable, scans keep their quality and the file size hardly changes. If a page was already rotated in the original file, your turn is added to it.

Common uses

  • Phone scans and photos of documents that came out sideways.
  • Landscape tables or charts inside a portrait report.
  • Pages fed upside down into a scanner.

Your file is opened and processed in your browser, so it is never uploaded to a server. If you also want to drop pages, use Remove PDF Pages, and to put rotated files together, Merge PDF.

Frequently asked questions

How do I rotate just one page in a PDF?

Tap that page until it looks right (each tap turns it 90° clockwise), then press "Save rotated PDF". Other pages stay as they were.

Will the rotation stay when I send the file?

Yes. The turn is saved in the PDF, so it opens the same way on every device and in every reader.

Does rotating reduce quality?

No. Pages aren't redrawn or re-compressed; only the page's rotation setting changes.

Can I rotate a password-protected PDF?

Unlock it first with Remove PDF Password if you know the password, then rotate the unlocked copy.

How do I undo a turn?

Keep tapping the page until it comes back round, or press "Undo all" to reset every page before saving.
