Rotate PDF

Scanned documents are frequently saved in the wrong orientation — a page scanned face-down appears upside down, and a landscape document scanned in portrait mode needs a 90° rotation. The Rotate PDF tool corrects page orientation errors permanently so the fixed rotation is saved into the document itself, not just applied as a viewing preference.

Most PDF viewers let you rotate pages during viewing, but that rotation is only temporary and resets when the file is reopened. Our tool writes the rotation directly into the PDF page metadata, meaning the corrected orientation persists in every viewer and when the document is printed.

Rotation options:

• 90° Clockwise: Rotates the page a quarter turn to the right. Use to fix a page that is rotated 90° counter-clockwise.
• 180°: Flips the page upside down. Use to fix completely inverted pages.
• 270° (or 90° Counter-clockwise): Rotates the page a quarter turn to the left. Use to fix a page rotated 90° clockwise.

You can choose to rotate all pages in one operation or specify individual pages or ranges (e.g. 1, 3-5, 8). This is particularly useful for scanned books or reports where only certain pages were inserted incorrectly.

After rotating, consider running Compress PDF if the rotation created a noticeably larger file. If you need to make other layout adjustments, Crop PDF lets you trim margins from the rotated pages.
