Rotate PDF Pages
A page scanned or photographed sideways reads fine on screen when you tilt your head and badly everywhere else — printed, attached, or opened by somebody else. This turns the pages you choose by a quarter, half or three-quarter turn and writes the rotation into the document, so it opens upright from then on. Nothing is re-rendered: text stays selectable and images keep their resolution.

How to rotate PDF pages
Step 1
1. Add your PDF file
Drag your PDF file into the box, or choose it from your device. It can be up to 95 MB.
Step 2
2. Choose your settings
Optionally, fill in “Pages”. Adjust Rotation (90° right), or keep the starting values in brackets, which suit most files.
Step 3
3. Press Rotate PDF
The work happens on our servers, and you can follow its progress.
Step 4
4. Download your PDF file
Your upload is already deleted, and the result is deleted after one hour.
Worth knowing
The rotation is written into the page, not baked into a picture of it, so text stays selectable and the file does not grow. Leave the Pages field blank to turn every page, or name the ones to turn — a page number the document does not have stops the job with a message rather than turning fewer pages than you asked for. Password-protected PDFs are refused; Unlock PDF removes the password first (a PDF that only restricts printing or copying unlocks without one). Document properties such as author and title are not carried over.
Why rotate PDF pages?

- Fixing a page photographed upside down on a phone
- Rotating just the one page in a report that came in rotated
