Sideways pages.
Fixed, then saved.
Click any page to turn it 90° — or rotate the whole document at once. Live thumbnails, local processing, nothing uploaded.
How do I rotate pages in a PDF? Load the PDF, click a page thumbnail to rotate it 90° clockwise (click again for 180°), or press Rotate all. Press Save PDF — the rotation is written into the file itself, and nothing was uploaded.
PDF page rotator
Click a page to rotate it 90° clockwise; the badge under each page shows its rotation. Pages that came rotated (scans, phone captures) are handled correctly — your click is added to whatever rotation the page already has.
How PDF rotation actually works
Every page in a PDF can carry a rotation attribute — "display me at 90°" — without touching the actual content. That's what this tool changes: a small value in the page dictionary. Text stays selectable, images stay full-resolution, and the file size barely moves. It's the same mechanism scanners use when they write sideways pages in the first place.
The sideways-scan problem
The most common case: a stack of pages fed through a scanner at the wrong orientation, or phone photos saved into a PDF. The result is a document where half the pages need a 90° turn. Fixing it used to mean a desktop app or a re-scan; here it's a click per page and a save.
Getting a good result
- Click, look, click again — each click turns a page 90°; the thumbnail updates immediately, so stop when it looks right
- Mixed orientations are fine — rotate each page independently; the badge shows the current rotation per page
- Save once at the end — all your rotations are written together in one pass
- Check the badge — a page that already had 90° of rotation plus your 90° shows 180°, which is usually a sign to click once more or press Reset

How do I rotate a PDF?
Load the PDF and click any page thumbnail to rotate it 90° clockwise — or press Rotate all for the whole document. Press Save and the rotation is written into the PDF. Nothing is uploaded.
Can I rotate just one page instead of all pages?
Yes. Each page rotates independently — click the sideways page as many times as needed (90° each click) and leave the rest alone. The thumbnails update live so you can see the result before saving.
Does rotating a PDF change its quality?
No. Rotation is stored as a page attribute in the PDF structure — the text, images, and vectors are untouched. The file stays exactly as sharp as the original, just displayed at a new angle.
How do I fix a scanned document that's sideways?
Load the scan, click the pages that are sideways until they're upright, and save. Scanned PDFs are the most common rotation case — this fixes them without re-scanning or any other app.
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is read, rotated, and saved entirely inside your browser. It never touches a server — you can verify in your browser's network panel.
