PDF Rotator
Rotate pages 90/180/270°
What is PDF Rotator?
Rotate pages in a PDF by 90°, 180°, or 270° — all pages, a specific range, or just a single page. Useful when a scan came out sideways, when a form has mixed-orientation pages, or when you want to correct content that was originally laid out upside-down. Rotation is non-destructive: it updates the PDF's internal rotation flag rather than re-rendering, so there's no quality loss.
How do I use PDF Rotator?
- Drop a PDF onto the upload zone.
- Choose a rotation angle: 90°, 180°, or 270°.
- Enter a page range — "*" for all, or e.g. "1-3, 5".
- Click Rotate, then Download.
When should I use PDF Rotator?
PDF Rotator fixes orientation on existing PDFs. If you need to rotate an image (not a PDF page), use Image Rotator. To rotate and merge multiple PDFs at once, rotate each first and then use PDF Merge.
Can I rotate only specific pages?
Yes. Pick "Custom pages" and enter the page numbers or ranges you want to rotate (e.g. "2, 5-7"). Other pages stay untouched.
Does rotating re-render the PDF?
No. pdf-lib sets a page-level rotation flag, which viewers honour at display time. The underlying content streams are unchanged, so the PDF stays the same size and nothing is rasterised.
My PDF is still sideways in some viewers — why?
A few old viewers ignore the rotation flag. Use "Bake rotation" mode if your target viewer does — it rewrites page content so the orientation is absolute.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your files never leave your device, and there is no server component for this tool.
