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.
Rotate the whole document, or just the pages that need it
Use the Rotate all buttons for the common case of an entire scanned document coming in sideways. If only a few pages are affected, leave the rest alone and click the ↺ or ↻ icon on just those page thumbnails below — no need to split them out and merge them back in separately. You can also drag any page to reorder it or click ✕ to remove one you don't want, right from the same view.
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?
Yes — click the ↺ or ↻ icon on that page's thumbnail below; it rotates independently of every other page. Use the Rotate all buttons instead when the whole document needs the same rotation.
Can I reorder or remove pages here too?
Yes — drag any page thumbnail to change its position in the output, or click ✕ to leave a page out entirely. Both apply alongside whatever rotation you've set, all in the same download.
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.
