Rotate PDF

Rotate a PDF

Fixes the whole document in one pass — the usual case when a scanner fed a stack in sideways. Rotation is written as page metadata, so no page is re-rendered and nothing is re-compressed.

One PDF — every page is turned

Rotation

Rotation is stored as page metadata, so nothing is re-rendered and no quality is lost. To turn individual pages instead of all of them, use the page organiser in the editor.

How to rotate a pdf

  1. 1

    Drop in the PDF

    The file is loaded in the browser; nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    Choose an angle

    90 degrees clockwise, 180, or 90 anticlockwise. The angle is added to whatever rotation each page already carried.

  3. 3

    Rotate

    Every page in the document is turned by the same amount.

  4. 4

    Download

    The result opens the right way up in any PDF reader.

Genuinely lossless

A PDF page carries a rotation value that readers apply when displaying it. Changing that value leaves the page content completely untouched — no re-rendering, no re-compression, no quality loss, and the file size barely moves.

Rotation is cumulative

The angle you pick is added to each page's existing rotation rather than replacing it. A page already stored at 90 degrees, rotated by another 90, ends up at 180 — which is what you want when a document is a mix of orientations.

For individual pages, use the organiser

This turns every page by the same amount. When a document has a few pages the wrong way round, the page organiser in the editor rotates them one at a time from their thumbnails.

Questions

No. It changes a single number in the page's metadata; the content is copied through untouched. This is one of the few PDF operations that is truly free.
