Rotate PDF

Turn pages that were scanned sideways or upside down the right way round – one page, a selection or the whole document. Right in your browser.

File stays on your device No loss of quality

Rotate PDF

Rotate single pages or all pages of a PDF and save the rotation for good.

Your files are processed directly in your browser and are not uploaded. They never leave your device.

How it works

Rotate a PDF in three steps

  1. Add a PDF

    Drop a PDF file into the box or choose it. Every page appears as a thumbnail.

  2. Rotate pages

    Select pages and turn them 90° left, 90° right or 180°. Without a selection, all pages rotate.

  3. Save

    Click “Rotate and save PDF” and download the rotated PDF.

Rotate PDF pages for good, without uploading

Rotation without loss of quality

The rotation is saved as a page property in the PDF. Content, text and images are not recalculated, so the quality stays exactly the same. An existing rotation is taken into account: a page that is already rotated turns further from its current position.

Bookmarks, links and form fields are kept, because the file is not rebuilt.

Typical uses

  • Straighten pages scanned sideways in a stack of receipts
  • Fix pages that came out upside down after scanning
  • Turn landscape tables and plans so they are readable
  • Align photos of documents taken with a smartphone

Good to know

The original file on your device stays unchanged; you get a new PDF. If you also want to change the order or remove pages, use “Organize PDF”.

FAQ

Questions about rotating PDFs

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Rotating runs entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.

Can I rotate single pages only?

Yes. Select pages with a click or with page numbers such as 2, 5-7 and rotate only those. Without a selection, the buttons apply to all pages.

Is the rotation saved for good?

Yes. The rotation is stored in the new PDF and applies in every PDF program, not just in the view.

Does the PDF lose quality when rotated?

No. Only the orientation of the page is saved; text and images stay unchanged.

How many pages can the PDF have?

Up to 2,000 pages and 100 MB. Thumbnails only load when they come into view.
