Fix sideways scans here
Rotate a PDF
Phone scans and ADF feeders love to deliver a PDF on its side. This rotate PDF tool applies 90°, 180°, or 270° clockwise to every page, or only the ones you tick. Rotation is a page property written with pdf-lib in the browser. The pixels are not re-encoded unless you later flatten elsewhere.
Pick odd or even when a duplex scan flipped every other sheet. Uncheck “all pages” to rotate a single landscape table in an otherwise portrait file. Nothing is uploaded. You download a new PDF; the file you dropped stays put. If pages look wrong after a turn, try 270° instead of 90°. The stored rotation may already have been 90° from the scanner.
Rotation is applied in this tab. Your PDF is never uploaded.
No files yet. Drop them above. They stay in this tab and are never uploaded.
How to rotate PDF pages
- Drop the sideways or upside-down PDF.
- Choose 90°, 180°, or 270° clockwise.
- Keep all pages, or select odd, even, or a custom set.
- Rotate PDF and download the corrected copy.
Rotate PDF in the browser, not in the cloud
Online rotate tools that upload can be fine for a public flyer and a poor idea for a passport scan. This page never receives the file. It also will not “auto-deskew” crooked photos; that needs a different kind of software. It fixes whole-page turns.
Questions
- Does rotate PDF upload my file?
- No. The turn is applied in this tab. You download a new PDF. Nothing is sent to a server.
- Can I rotate only some pages of a PDF?
- Yes. Uncheck “All pages” and pick the pages you want. Odd and even shortcuts help with mixed duplex scans.
- Is 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise?
- Clockwise. 90° is one turn right, 180° is upside down, 270° is one turn left.
- Will rotating a PDF overwrite the original?
- No. Your original stays on disk. Save the download wherever you like.
- Why does a page still look wrong after I rotate?
- The file may already store a rotation from the scanner. Try another angle, or use Organize if you need to see each page first.
