About this tool
Scanned pages often come out sideways. Rotate PDF turns every page, or only the pages you list, by a quarter turn or half turn and saves the fixed document. For a visual view of each page, try Organize PDF instead.
How to use it
- Choose the PDF to rotate.
- Select a direction. To rotate only some pages, enter them like 2, 4-6. Leave the box empty for all pages.
- Select Rotate PDF and download the result.
When this is useful
- Fix scanned pages that came out sideways.
- Turn a landscape page upright.
- Correct only some pages of a mixed document.
- Flip an upside-down page.
Tips for best results
- If the top of the page points left, rotate right.
- Enter page numbers to rotate only those pages.
- Use Organize PDF if you want to see pages while rotating.
- Open the result in your viewer to check before sending.
Good to know
Only the orientation setting of the page changes. The content is not drawn again, so nothing is lost.
Questions and answers
Can I rotate just one page?
Yes. Type the page number in the pages box, for example 3.
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. Only the page orientation setting changes, so the content is untouched.
How do I see the pages before rotating?
Use Organize PDF, which shows a thumbnail for each page and a rotate button.
Which direction should I choose?
If the top of the page points to the left, rotate right. If it points to the right, rotate left. If the page is upside down, use 180 degrees.
