PDF Rotator
Rotate pages of a PDF and save the result.
Rotate every page of a PDF — or just a few selected ones — by 90°, 180° or 270° and save the corrected file. Great for fixing scanned documents that came out sideways.
Use the tool
What this tool does
A PDF rotator changes the display rotation stored in each page's metadata. We use pdf-lib in your browser to apply the rotation losslessly — no re-rendering, no quality loss.
Why people use it
- Fix sideways pages from a phone scanner app.
- Re-orient landscape spreads that were scanned as portrait.
- Correct an upside-down page before sending a contract.
- Standardize orientation across a merged document.
Step-by-step guide
- Open the PDF Rotator tool.
- Choose the PDF you want to rotate.
- Pick a rotation angle (90°, 180°, or 270°).
- Choose ‘All pages’ or specify a range like 2, 4-6.
- Click ‘Rotate PDF’ and download the result.
Real examples
Fixing a sideways scan
A user scanned a 12-page contract on their phone but page 3 came out rotated 90°. They rotate just page 3 and download the corrected file.
Standardizing a merged report
After merging four PDFs, two of them were landscape spreads. The user rotates pages 9–14 by 90° to match the rest of the document.
Common use cases
- Fixing scanned documents
- Standardizing merged PDFs
- Preparing files for printing
- Correcting phone-scanned pages
Frequently asked questions
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. Rotation only updates page metadata — the underlying content is untouched.
Can I rotate by 45° or other custom angles?
PDF only supports rotations in multiples of 90°. Custom angles would require re-rendering and aren’t supported here.
