Rotate PDF Pages Online, Free

Fix pages that scanned in sideways or upside-down, all in one pass — processed locally in your browser.

Rotate PDF

Rotate every page in your PDF by 90°, 180°, or 270°.

A common fix for scanned documents

It's a familiar annoyance: you scan a document and half the pages come out sideways, or the whole file is upside-down because the scanner fed it in the wrong way. This tool rotates every page in your PDF by the angle you choose — 90°, 180°, or 270° clockwise — by adjusting each page's rotation metadata with the pdf-lib library, directly in your browser.

Because rotation only changes the page's orientation setting rather than re-rendering the page as an image, there's no quality loss involved. Unlike compression, which converts pages to JPEGs, rotating a PDF keeps any selectable, searchable text exactly as sharp and functional as it was before — only the viewing angle changes.

Select your PDF, choose the rotation angle from the dropdown, and click Rotate & Download. Every page in the document rotates by the same amount, which is the most common case — a whole scanned batch that came in sideways together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does rotating a PDF affect its quality or text?

No. Unlike compression, rotation only changes the page's orientation metadata using the pdf-lib library — it does not re-render or rasterize the page. Your text stays fully selectable and searchable, and there is no loss of image quality after rotating.

Can I rotate only some pages, not the whole document?

The current tool applies one rotation angle to every page in the file, which covers the most common case of an entire scanned batch coming in sideways together. If you need different pages rotated differently, split the document into separate files first with the Split PDF tool, rotate each part, then merge them back together.

What's the difference between 90° and 270° rotation?

90° rotates the page a quarter turn clockwise; 270° rotates it a quarter turn counter-clockwise (or three-quarters clockwise). If your first attempt rotates the page the wrong way, just run it again with the other angle.

Will this work on a PDF that's already partially rotated?

Yes — the tool adds your chosen rotation on top of each page's existing rotation setting, so it works correctly even if some pages already have a rotation applied.
