Rotate a PDF and save it rotated

Many PDF viewers only rotate a page on screen — the next time you open the file, it’s sideways again. Here you rotate pages permanently: upload the PDF, rotate the affected pages with the arrow icons, save. The rotation is stored in the file.

Your files never leave your device — everything runs locally in your browser.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload the PDF

    All pages are shown as previews.

  2. 2

    Rotate pages

    Use the icons below each page to rotate 90° left or right.

  3. 3

    All at once

    Select several pages and rotate them together.

  4. 4

    Save

    Download the PDF — the rotation is now permanent.

Why rotating in the viewer often isn’t enough

Browsers and many PDF readers offer a rotate button that only changes the current view. It often can’t be saved — or only in expensive programs. The recipient then sees the sideways pages again.

Lossless rotation

Rotating only changes the page orientation stored in the PDF. Text, images and fonts stay untouched — the file doesn’t get larger or blurrier, and text remains searchable.

Typical cases

  • Landscape tables scanned in portrait.
  • Phone photos of documents saved as PDF.
  • Single upside-down pages in a batch scan.

Tips

  • Keyboard: Delete removes the selection, ⌘/Ctrl + arrow moves pages, ⌘/Ctrl + Z undoes.
  • On a phone, move pages with the handle on each tile.
  • Even large PDFs with 100+ pages can be sorted smoothly.
