Rotate a PDF and keep it that way
Phone scans and photocopies come out sideways all the time. This rotates the pages inside the PDF itself — so the file opens the right way up for whoever you send it to, not just on your screen. Existing rotation is respected, so turning a page that's already sideways does what you'd expect.
Who uses this tool
Anyone fixing a scanned agreement, marksheet or bank statement before uploading it to a portal, and students straightening pages of a scanned assignment.
How to rotate a PDF
- Choose your PDF.
- Pick the direction, and type which pages — all, or something like 1, 3, 5-8.
- Click Rotate & download.
Frequently asked questions
How do I rotate only some pages of a PDF?
Type the page numbers in the "Which pages" box — for example 1, 3, 5-8. Leave it as "all" to rotate every page.
Does the rotation stay when I send the file?
Yes. The rotation is written into the PDF itself, so it opens the right way up for everyone — unlike simply turning the view in a reader.
Can it rotate a password-protected PDF?
Not directly. Remove the password first with our PDF Password Remover, then rotate the unlocked file.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The file is rewritten inside your browser and never sent to any server.
