Rotate PDF Pages

What does rotating a PDF do?

Rotating a PDF turns its pages by 90, 180 or 270 degrees so they display the right way up. It's a lifesaver for scanned documents that came out sideways, phone photos saved in landscape, or mixed files where only some pages need fixing. The rotation is baked into the file itself, so the pages stay corrected wherever the PDF is opened or printed.

When should you rotate PDF pages?

• Sideways scans: fix pages scanned in the wrong orientation.
• Mixed documents: rotate only the landscape pages of a report, e.g. wide tables or charts.
• Upside-down pages: flip 180° when a scan came out inverted.
• Phone photos: correct photos that saved rotated because of how the phone was held.

How to rotate PDF pages in 3 steps

1. Drop your PDF into the box above.
2. Choose the pages (leave empty for all pages) and pick 90°, 180° or 270°.
3. Click "Rotate PDF" and download the corrected document.

Tips for correct rotation

• Rotation adds to each page's existing orientation — a page already at 90° plus another 90° ends at 180°.
• Use a page range like 2-4 when only some pages are sideways.
• 270° clockwise is the same as 90° counter-clockwise — pick whichever matches your need.
• Rotation is lossless: no text or image quality is affected.
• If you're unsure which pages need fixing, open the PDF first and note the sideways page numbers — then target exactly those ranges.
• After rotating, scroll through the downloaded file once to confirm every page faces the right way before sharing it.
