Rotate PDF

Turn every page or selected pages without flattening the document.

Use the Rotate PDF in three steps

01

Choose a PDF

Open the document and let the tool read its page count.

02

Select pages and angle

Rotate every page or enter ranges, then choose 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

03

Download the corrected PDF

Save a new copy while leaving the source file unchanged.

Rotation does not flatten pages

The tool updates each selected page's rotation setting. Text, vector graphics, and embedded images remain in the PDF rather than being rendered into a new image.

Work with mixed orientations

Choose Selected pages when only a few scans are sideways. Page ranges such as 2, 5-7 let you correct several parts of a document in one pass.

Rotate PDF FAQ

Does rotating a PDF reduce quality?

No. The page rotation setting changes without rasterizing or recompressing page content.

Can I rotate only one page?

Yes. Choose Selected pages and enter that page number.

How do I rotate several page ranges?

Separate pages and ranges with commas, such as 1, 4-6, 10.

What does 270 degrees do?

It turns a page clockwise by 270 degrees, which is the same visual result as 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

Will the original PDF be overwritten?

No. The tool downloads a separate file with -rotated added to its name.

Can a password-protected PDF be rotated?

The PDF must first be unlocked by someone authorized to modify it.
