Why does a PDF end up sideways?

Usually a page was scanned in landscape orientation but tagged as portrait (or vice versa), so viewers render it rotated relative to how it should read. This tool sets each page's rotation flag directly — the underlying content isn't re-rendered or re-rasterized, so there's no quality loss.

All pages, one rotation

This applies the same rotation to every page in the document, which covers the common case of an entire scanned document coming in sideways. If only specific pages need rotating, split those pages out first, rotate them separately, then merge back in.

Frequently asked questions

Does rotating re-render the PDF's content?

No. This sets the page's rotation metadata (a value PDF viewers already respect), rather than transforming and re-encoding the visual content — so there's no quality loss and the file size barely changes.

Can I rotate just one page instead of the whole document?

Not with this tool — it rotates every page by the same amount. For a single page, use Split PDF to pull that page out, rotate it separately, then use Merge PDF to put it back.

Is my PDF uploaded when I use this tool?

No. The PDF is read and processed entirely in your browser using a JavaScript PDF library — nothing is uploaded, and the rotated file is generated and downloaded locally.
