How to rotate pages in a PDF
Rotate PDF fixes pages that came out sideways or upside down: the landscape sheet in a scan, the floor plan lying on its side, or the document photographed with your phone held the other way. You can rotate the whole file or only certain pages.
The rotation is saved in the PDF itself, so it looks right in every reader, on your phone and when printed, not just on your computer.
Step by step
- Upload your PDF, or several if they all need the same rotation.
- Choose 90° clockwise or 90° anticlockwise.
- Under pages to rotate, type the pages, for example 2, 5-7, or leave it empty to rotate every page.
- Process and download the rotated PDF (or the ZIP if you uploaded several).
Rotating does not damage the content
Every PDF page has a rotation attribute. The tool changes that value in steps of 90 degrees without redrawing or recompressing anything: text stays selectable, links keep working and images keep their quality.
To flip a page that is upside down, apply two 90° turns in the same direction, or run the result through the tool again.
When you need a different tool
If you want to change the order of pages, use Organize PDF. If a page is only slightly skewed, as many scans are, a 90° turn will not straighten it; OCR PDF corrects skew while it recognises the text. And if you rotate, number and compress the same kind of document every week, chain it all in a workflow.
Up to 50 pages per PDF and 50 MB per job.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I rotate just one page of a PDF?
- Yes. Type its number in the pages field, for example 3. For several, use commas and ranges: 1, 4-6.
- Is the rotation permanent?
- Yes, it is saved in the file and shows the same in any reader. If you get it wrong, rotate the other way.
- Does rotating a PDF reduce quality?
- No. Only the page orientation changes; nothing is recompressed.
- Can I rotate several PDFs at once?
- Yes. Upload them all; the same rotation is applied to each and you download them in a ZIP.
- How do I fix an upside-down page?
- Apply 90° twice in the same direction, which equals 180°.
