Rotate PDF
Fix scans that came out sideways or upside down. Rotate the whole document at once, or rotate individual pages using the thumbnails, and save the result permanently.
Runs in your browser
How to use
- Drop a PDF.
- Rotate all pages, or click the rotate button under specific pages.
- Click Apply rotation.
- Download the corrected PDF.
How it works
Rotation is saved in each page's /Rotate property, which is how PDF viewers are told to display a page. The page content itself isn't re-rendered, so quality is unchanged and text stays selectable. Rotations add up: two clicks of 90° equal 180°.
Files are processed in your browser with the open-source pdf-lib and pdf.js libraries — they are never uploaded.
Examples
- Mixed scan
- A 10-page scan where pages 4 and 7 are upside down → rotate those two by 180°.
Common uses
- Correcting scanned documents
- Landscape tables in portrait reports
- Phone-scanned receipts
