HOW IT WORKS

How to rotate

Fix pages that were scanned in the wrong direction without changing the whole document. Rotate the pages that need attention in 90-degree increments, then download a file with the adjusted page orientations.

01

Choose a PDF

Select one PDF of up to 25MB and 200 pages. Look at the previews and identify which way the top of the text is facing.

02

Rotate pages in 90-degree steps

Use the rotation button on a page that needs correcting. Each press adds a quarter turn. Repeat until the page is facing the direction you want.

03

Review and download

Check pages farther down the document as well as those currently visible. Download the result and open it in a PDF viewer to confirm the saved orientation.

Rotation applies to the whole page

Text, pictures, and tables rotate together. This tool cannot rotate an individual picture or straighten only one section of a page. A document can contain both portrait and landscape pages; they do not all need the same orientation if their content is already readable.

Small-angle scan correction is not included

The supported rotation increment is 90 degrees. Use repeated presses for a half turn or three-quarter turn. Automatic deskewing of a scan tilted by two or three degrees, arbitrary-angle rotation, and image cropping are not available.

Check print settings separately

A PDF page's orientation and a printer's automatic rotation settings are separate. Even when the downloaded page looks correct, print settings may rotate or scale it. Check the print preview before printing, and keep the original document for reference.

A LITTLE HELP

Frequently asked questions

Can I rotate by an angle other than 90 degrees?+

Only multiples of 90 degrees are supported. Press twice for 180 degrees or three times for 270 degrees. Arbitrary angles and automatic scan straightening are not supported.

Can I rotate a page that is already landscape?+

Yes. Rotation is added to the page's current orientation. A landscape page does not necessarily need correcting; check whether its content is readable before turning it.

Does rotation recompress page images?+

This tool does not take a new picture of the page or reduce image quality to rotate it. Saving a new PDF can still change the overall file size or document structure.

Can I rotate a picture or change the text?+

No. This tool changes the orientation of the entire page. Editing text, rotating an individual picture inside a PDF, and recognizing text with OCR are not included.

Which PDFs are supported?+

Use one ordinary PDF of up to 25MB and 200 pages. Encrypted files and PDFs with form fields are not supported. Preservation of digital signatures, bookmarks, and other document-level features is not guaranteed.
