Rotate PDF
Turn pages 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
When to use it
Use it when scanned pages appear sideways or upside down, or when a landscape page should open the right way round.

- Pick an angle. PDFs only support 90, 180 and 270 degrees.

Where your file goes
This tool runs in your browser: the file is processed on your device and is not uploaded. The Network tab of your browser's developer tools shows this.
What is kept, and what is not
Rotation is stored as page metadata, so nothing is re-rendered.
Limits
- Every page of the file is turned by the same angle. Turning only some pages is not supported here.
- Files up to 512 MB each.
- PDF documents up to 5,000 pages.
- The work happens in your device's memory, so a phone may fail on a file that a computer handles.
If something goes wrong
The page still looks crooked
Rotation works in steps of 90 degrees. A scan that is slightly tilted cannot be straightened by rotating the page.
The PDF asks for a password
Remove the password first with Unlock PDF (you need to know it), then try again.
The page becomes slow with a very large file
Close other tabs, or use a computer instead of a phone.
My file is not accepted
Check the formats listed above. A damaged file, or one with the wrong extension, is refused with a message saying why.
Questions
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. Rotation is saved as a page setting, so text and images are not redrawn.
Which way does 90 degrees turn?
Clockwise. Choose 270 degrees to turn a page a quarter turn the other way.
