Rotate PDF
Advanced PDF & Document ManagementFix sideways scans by rotating pages 90°, 180°, or 270°.
What is Rotate PDF?
Rotate PDF fixes sideways or upside-down pages by turning them 90° at a time, either one page or the whole document. Every page shows as a live thumbnail that spins as you rotate, so you can see the result before saving. It runs in your browser with pdfjs and pdf-lib, and the saved file keeps its original text and quality because only the page rotation changes.
How to use Rotate PDF
Add your PDF
Drop in a PDF or click to browse. Each page renders as a thumbnail, with a badge tracking the rendering progress.
Rotate the whole document
Use the Rotate every page Left or Right buttons to turn all pages at once — handy when an entire scan came in sideways.
Fine-tune individual pages
Hover any thumbnail and use its left and right buttons to rotate just that page. The current angle is shown next to the page number, and the thumbnail rotates to match.
Reset if needed
Changed your mind? Reset rotations clears every adjustment so you can start again from the original orientation.
Download the rotated PDF
Once at least one page has been rotated, click Download rotated PDF. The new rotations are written into the file and it downloads instantly.
