How to use the Rotate PDF
- Choose a PDF.
- Rotate all pages, or tap individual pages.
- Save the rotated PDF.
What does this tool do?
Rotation is saved into the file, so the pages open correctly in every viewer — not just in the app where you turned them.
Scanners and phone scanning apps often save some pages sideways, especially landscape tables and forms. You can rotate everything at once or fix individual pages, and nothing else about the document changes.
Why use it?
- Fix sideways scans.
- Rotate landscape pages in a portrait document.
- No quality loss.
Use cases
- Turn landscape tables or charts that were scanned sideways.
- Fix upside-down pages from a document fed into the scanner the wrong way.
- Get a PDF ready for printing or presenting, with every page the right way up.
Example
A 10-page scan with two landscape tables: tap those two pages to rotate them, leave the rest, and save.
Common mistakes
- Rotating every page when only one is sideways. Tap just that page so the others stay as they are.
- Rotating only in your PDF reader. Most readers just change the view; saving here changes the file, so it opens the right way for everyone.

Frequently asked questions
Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. The PDF is processed inside your browser with open-source PDF libraries. It never leaves your device, which makes this safe for contracts, statements and IDs.
Can I use a password-protected PDF?
Not yet. Open it in your PDF reader, remove the password (or print it to a new PDF), then use the tool.
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. Rotation only changes how the page is displayed; the text and images on it aren't redrawn or re-compressed.
How do I turn a page upside down?
Rotate it twice by 90°, for 180° in total. “Rotate all 90° right” twice does the same for every page.
