Rotate PDF

Turn every page clockwise, upside down, or counterclockwise.

PDF tools use pdf-lib (MIT).

About this tool

Phone scans often land sideways. This tool sets a rotation on every page — 90°, 180°, or 270° — without redrawing the page as an image, so text that was searchable usually stays searchable.

Rotation is applied to all pages the same way in this version. If only page 2 is upside down, split that page, rotate, and merge back.

pdf-lib updates page rotation in the browser. 50 MB cap. Encrypted PDFs are not opened. Appearance in some viewers depends on honoring the rotate flag.

How to rotate a PDF

  1. Choose a sideways or upside-down PDF. Rotation is a local flag.
  2. Pick clockwise, upside down, or counterclockwise.
  3. Rotate and download.

50 MB. One angle for the whole file. Password-protected inputs are refused.

FAQ

Does rotation upload the PDF?
No. The rotate flag is written locally.
Is the page photographed?
No. Unlike PDF to JPG, this does not rasterize. Quality should match the source.
Can I rotate one page?
Not in this UI. Split PDF, rotate the piece, Merge PDF.
Why does a viewer still show it sideways?
A few viewers ignore rotate flags. Try another reader, or rasterize only if you must.
Does this fix scanned text direction for OCR?
It changes viewing orientation. It does not run OCR.
