Rotate PDF
Rotate all pages or only the pages you choose in a PDF by 90, 180 or 270 degrees and download the fixed file. Works in your browser, so your PDF is not uploaded.
Quick answer:To rotate a PDF, upload it, choose 90°, 180° or 270° clockwise, optionally list specific pages such as 1, 3-5, and download the result. Rotation changes only the page orientation, not the content, and runs in your browser so the file is not uploaded.

Why PDF pages end up sideways
Scanners and phone scanning apps often capture a page in whatever direction the paper was fed or the phone was held. The result is a PDF where some pages are sideways or upside down, even though the content is fine. Rotating fixes how the page is displayed without changing the text or images on it.
A typical case is a batch scan where landscape pages mix with portrait pages. Rotate only the affected pages by entering their numbers, and leave the rest untouched.
Which angle should you choose?
Rotation is clockwise. If the top of the page points to the left, rotate 90° to bring it upright. If the top points to the right, rotate 270° (the same as 90° anticlockwise). If the page is upside down, use 180°.
After fixing the orientation you may want to trim margins with the PDF Cropper, pull out the pages you need with Split PDF, or combine several documents with Merge PDF.
Private by design
The rotation runs inside your browser using the file you select, so the PDF is not uploaded to a server. That is useful for ID documents, bank statements and contracts. Close the tab when you are done and delete downloads you no longer need.
