Turn the pages that came out sideways, or the whole document at once. It is read on your device and never uploaded.
Reading the document…
Your document is rotated on your device and never uploaded.
Turns pages the right way up and saves them that way. Every page is shown as a thumbnail with a pair of arrows under it, so you can turn one page, a few, or the whole document at once — which is what a scanner that took half a stack the wrong way round leaves you with.
Rotation in a PDF is a property of the page, not a change to what is printed on it. So nothing here is re-encoded: the text stays selectable and searchable, images keep the exact bytes they arrived as, and the file comes out the size it went in. Pages you do not turn are left completely alone.
This is also the difference between rotating and just looking at a rotated page. Most readers will spin the view for you and forget it the moment the file is closed, and the person you send it to opens it sideways again. Saving here writes the rotation into the document.
A document feeder rotates whatever it is given. Landscape pages in a portrait stack come back on their side, and everyone who opens the file has to tilt their head.
A single landscape table in a portrait report only needs that page turned. Every other page keeps exactly what it had.
Rotating the view in your reader changes nothing in the file. If it has to arrive the right way up, the rotation has to be saved into the document, which is what this does.
Pictures taken in portrait and assembled into a PDF often end up rotated a quarter turn. Turning them back costs nothing in quality, because nothing is redrawn.
Drop it here or choose a file. Every page is drawn as a thumbnail, so you can see which ones are the wrong way round rather than working from page numbers.
The two arrows under a page turn it a quarter turn left or right. Press one twice for a page that is upside down.
Left and right at the top turn every page at once, which is what a whole scan fed in sideways needs. Individual pages can still be adjusted afterwards.
Download the rotated document. Your original file is not touched, and the pages you left alone are byte for byte what they were.
No. It is read, rendered and rewritten in this browser tab. That matters here because the documents people rotate are usually scans — contracts, statements, letters, identity papers — and every other free rotator asks you to upload them first.
Neither. A rotation is a number stored on the page rather than a change to its contents, so nothing is re-drawn or re-compressed. Text stays selectable, images are untouched, and the file size barely moves.
Because it is rotating the view, not the document. That setting usually lives with the reader and not with the file, so the next person to open it sees the original orientation. Saving from here writes the rotation into the PDF itself.
Yes — that is what the arrows under each thumbnail are for. Pages you do not touch are written back exactly as they came, including their own existing rotation.
No, and it says so rather than producing a broken file. Remove the password in your PDF reader first, then rotate.
Every page is drawn as a real thumbnail, on your device, because knowing which pages are sideways is the whole point. Pages become usable as they appear — you can start turning the first ones while the rest are still rendering.
