Rotate PDF
Rotating so it stays rotated
Turning a page in a PDF reader usually changes only what you are looking at; close the file and it is sideways again. Rotation is stored inside the document itself, and that is what this tool changes — so the page opens the right way up for everyone.
Add, or set exactly?
- Add to current — turns each page from wherever it currently sits. Right when different pages start at different angles.
- Set exactly — forces every selected page to the same angle. Right when you want the whole document consistent.
Common fixes
- A scanner fed a page in sideways — rotate that one page 90°.
- A batch scan came out upside down — rotate everything 180°.
- Landscape charts among portrait text — list just those pages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most readers rotate the view only, for that session. This tool changes the rotation stored inside the file, so the new orientation is what everyone sees when they open it.
Yes. Leave the page box empty to rotate everything, or list pages and ranges such as 2, 5-8 to rotate only those. Scans often have one page the wrong way round.
You choose. "Add to current" turns each page relative to how it sits now, which is what you usually want for a mixed document. "Set exactly" forces every selected page to the same angle regardless of its starting point.
No. Rotation is recorded as an instruction in the file, so the page content is untouched and nothing is re-encoded. The file size barely changes.
No. It is read and rewritten inside your browser, so nothing is transmitted or stored.
