Rotate PDF

Rotating a PDF is the right fix when a page renders sideways or upside down in every viewer — usually because a scan was fed through the document feeder in the wrong orientation, or a phone captured a landscape page in portrait mode. A permanent rotation writes the correct orientation into the file itself, so it shows correctly on every device, in every email, and every browser preview.

Before rotating, double-check the orientation in a viewer that respects page rotation (most do). If only one page is wrong, use a page range to rotate only that page — rotating the whole document to fix one page will turn every other page sideways too. If multiple pages need different rotations, split the PDF, rotate each piece separately, and merge the corrected parts back together.

Rotation is not a substitute for re-scanning a low-quality page. If the underlying scan is blurry, no rotation will fix the legibility — you'll want to rescan at a higher DPI instead. But for a clean scan that's simply facing the wrong way, this tool fixes it in seconds.
