What Rotate PDF does
Rotate PDF fixes pages that were scanned sideways or upside down by rotating every page in a document by 90, 180 or 270 degrees and saving a corrected copy. It's a one-setting fix for a problem that's common with scanned paperwork.
The rotation is applied locally in your browser using a JavaScript PDF library, and the corrected file is generated on your device — the original is never uploaded anywhere.
How to rotate a PDF
- Choose a PDF file — the page count appears once it loads.
- Pick the rotation angle: 90° clockwise, 180°, or 270° clockwise (equivalent to 90° counter-clockwise).
- Select Rotate & download to save a new file with every page rotated by that amount.
What it does and doesn't do
The same angle is applied to every page in the document, which covers the common case of a whole file scanned sideways. If only some pages need rotating and others don't, rotate the whole document to the angle most pages need, then handle the remaining few in a page-level PDF editor.
Common uses
- Scanned documents — correcting a batch of pages fed into a scanner the wrong way round.
- Phone scans — fixing a PDF created from photos taken in landscape by mistake.
- Shared files — straightening a document before forwarding it so it reads correctly for everyone.
