Is the rotation permanent?

Yes. When the new PDF is saved, the page rotation angle is written into the file itself.

Does the text quality suffer?

No. The pages are not redrawn; only the orientation data changes, and the content is preserved exactly.

Can I rotate individual pages?

This tool rotates all pages by the same angle. To rotate pages individually, use the Page Editor.

Does rotation affect printing?

Yes, for the better. The orientation is saved in the file, so printers print each page the right way up.

Rotate PDF

Rotate every page of a PDF by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. Content is not re-rendered, so quality is untouched.

What it does

Sideways scans and upside-down pages are hard to read and print badly. This tool rotates every page of a PDF by 90, 180 or 270 degrees and saves the result permanently.

Pages are not redrawn; only their orientation changes. That makes it instant, keeps text selectable and leaves the file size unchanged.

How to use it

Drop your PDF file.
Choose the direction and the angle.
Press "Rotate and download".

When is it useful?

Fixing documents that were scanned sideways
Turning landscape phone photos of pages upright
Flipping printouts that were fed in upside down
Saving wide tables in a readable orientation

Tips

If only some pages are sideways, rotate them one by one in Page Organizer.
If rotating leaves wide margins, tidy them with Crop PDF.
