What is rotating a PDF?
Turn the pages of a PDF to the correct orientation — most often to fix a document that was scanned upside-down or photographed sideways. Everything runs locally in your browser with no upload.
How to use it
- Select or drop in a PDF.
- Choose the rotation angle (90, 180 or 270 degrees).
- Click Download for the corrected PDF.
Handy tips
- 90° is clockwise; for counter-clockwise, choose 270°.
- If the file is large after fixing orientation, run it through Compress PDF.
The whole file grew by 8 bytes
Most converters on this site are about how the size moves. This is the one page where “almost nothing changed” is literally true: all five pages turned 90°, 342,093 → 342,101 bytes, a difference of 8 bytes across the entire file. Rotation in PDF is not a redraw — it records a display angle on the page object, and pixels, fonts and vector paths are never touched. That makes it genuinely lossless, with no degradation accumulating however many times you turn it. Hand the same file to Compress PDF and it is -50%; hand it to this tool and it is +<1% — same input, same browser, measured the same day. The difference is entirely whether the tool touched the content. One practical caution: because this changes a display flag, an old viewer or print driver may ignore it and print the original orientation. Open the result in two different viewers if it matters.
