Drop a PDF to rotate every page

Fix the sideways scan for good

A PDF that opens sideways is almost always a scan that went through the feeder the wrong way. Your viewer might let you rotate it on screen, but that fix disappears the moment someone else opens the file — and the person reviewing your application or contract shouldn't have to tilt their head. This tool writes the correct orientation into the document itself, so every page is upright everywhere, permanently.

Drop the PDF, choose 90° right, 180° or 90° left based on which way it's turned, and save. The rotation applies to every page at once — the right behaviour for a whole document scanned the same way. It all happens in your browser, so the file is never uploaded.

Which way to turn

  • 90° right: pages lying on their left side — the top of the text points left.
  • 90° left: pages lying on their right side — the top points right.
  • 180°: upside-down pages, common when a stack is fed the wrong end first.

Part of tidying a document

Rotation is usually one step in cleaning up a scan before you send it. Straighten the orientation here, then split out the pages you actually need, merge in anything missing, or turn pages into images with PDF to JPG. If a single page needs a different rotation from the rest, split it out, rotate it on its own, and merge it back — each step runs on your device with nothing uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Does the rotation save permanently?
Yes. Unlike turning a page in a viewer — which only changes how you see it — this writes the new orientation into the file, so it opens upright everywhere, for everyone.
Can I rotate just one page?
This tool rotates every page by the same amount, which fixes the usual case of a whole document scanned sideways. To rotate a single page, split it out first with the Split PDF tool, rotate it, then merge it back.
Why is my scanned PDF sideways in the first place?
Scanners and phone scans record pages in the orientation they were fed or held. If the document went through the feeder rotated, every page comes out the same way — which is exactly what one rotation here corrects.
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. Rotation changes a single orientation value on each page; the actual content is untouched, so text stays selectable and resolution is identical.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The rotation is applied in your browser and the file is never sent to a server.
