Turn sideways or upside-down pages the right way up, for good

About this task

Viewers let you turn a page for a moment, but the PDF itself is still sideways the next time you or someone else opens it. Saving the rotation into the file fixes that, which matters for scans that came out landscape, phone photos turned into pages, or a single page that was fed into the scanner upside down.

Pick the pages in the thumbnails and turn them left, right or 180 degrees. With no page selected, the buttons turn the whole document. Each page also has its own buttons, so you can fix one page without touching the rest.

DocPro sets the rotation of the page and does not draw it again, so text stays selectable and the file size barely changes. To reorder or delete pages at the same time, use Organize pages.

This changes how the pages are displayed. It does not straighten a page that was scanned at a slight angle, and it does not rotate the text inside a scanned image's content.

How to do it

  1. Choose your PDF.
  2. Click the pages you want to turn, or select none to turn every page.
  3. Press Rotate left, Rotate right or Rotate 180°.
  4. Press Save rotated PDF and download the file. Open it once to check the pages.

Rotate PDF is free and needs no account. Your file is processed in your browser and never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Will the rotation stay in other viewers?

Yes. The new rotation is stored in the PDF, so it shows the same in browsers, readers and print dialogs.

Can I rotate just one page?

Yes. Select it, or use the buttons under its thumbnail. Other pages stay as they are.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The PDF is rotated in your browser.
