How to rotate PDF pages
A scanner export with sideways pages, a document scanned upside down, a few landscape pages in a portrait report — rotating a PDF fixes orientation in seconds, and this tool does it without turning your pages into images.
Step by step
Open the rotate PDF tool
Start the free tool — the document is processed on your own device.
Add your PDF
Select the document to correct; password-protected files cannot be loaded.
Choose the rotation angle
Pick 90°, 180°, or 270° clockwise; 180° is the fix for upside-down scans.
Apply to all pages or a selection
Rotate everything, or type a selection such as 1-3,5 to fix only the sideways pages in a mixed document.
Save the corrected PDF
Page rotation values are updated in place — text and graphics are not rasterized, so searchable text stays searchable.
Tips that save a second try
Existing rotation is respected: adding 90° to a page already at 270° normalizes it back to 0°.
This changes right-angle page rotation only — it cannot deskew a slightly tilted scan or apply arbitrary angles.
Saving a modified document invalidates existing digital signatures, even though the page content itself is untouched.
Common questions
What happens if a page is already rotated?
The new angle is added to the current one. For example, adding 90° to a page already at 270° normalizes it back to 0°.
Will rotating a PDF make its text unsearchable?
No. This tool updates page rotation without rendering pages to bitmaps, so existing searchable text remains text unless the source was already an image-only scan.
