🔄 PDF Rotator
PDF Rotator turns pages by 90°, 180° or 270° and writes the rotation into each page's /Rotate entry — the lossless way every viewer and printer respects. Page ranges let you fix only the sideways pages instead of the whole file. Encrypted PDFs are rejected and nothing is uploaded.

How to Use
Upload the PDF
Click or drag to add the file you need to fix. Scanned documents that came in upside down or sideways are the most common case this tool is built for.
Choose the rotation angle
Pick 90° clockwise, 180°, or 270° clockwise. A document that arrived upside down usually needs 180°, while a landscape scan that came in sideways needs 90° or 270°.
Set a page range if needed
Use the Page Range field to rotate only part of the file — patterns like 1-3, 5, 7-10 work here. Leave it blank to rotate every page at once.
Download the corrected PDF
Save the rotated file and open it in any viewer. The rotation is written into each page's metadata, so it stays correct everywhere, not just in this tool.
Detailed User Guide
Choose the right rotation for your pages
Three options are available: 90° clockwise, 180°, and 270° clockwise (the same as 90° counter-clockwise). Scanned documents that came in upside down usually need 180°, while landscape scans that arrived sideways need 90° or 270°.
Use page ranges to fix only part of a file
The Page Range field accepts patterns like 1-3, 5, 7-10. Leave it blank to rotate every page. This is handy when a scanner fed a single page sideways but the rest of the document is correct.
Rotation is permanent and metadata-driven
The tool writes the rotation into each page's /Rotate entry and re-saves the PDF, so the change sticks in every viewer. It does not re-encode images, so there is no quality loss.
Encrypted PDFs are rejected
Like the other PDF tools, password-protected files cannot be processed here. Remove the password first, then rotate the unlocked copy.
No server, no upload, no queue
Everything runs in your browser via pdf-lib, so a stack of scanned invoices can be fixed instantly without waiting in an online queue or exposing sensitive paperwork to a third party.
