About This Tool
What This Tool Does
Permanently rotates pages in a PDF so they display correctly when opened. Useful when scanned documents come out upside-down or sideways.Rotation Options
- 90° clockwise — for documents scanned in landscape but meant to be portrait
- 180° — for upside-down scans
- 90° counter-clockwise (270°) — for the opposite landscape orientation
How To Specify Pages
Leave the range field empty to rotate every page. Use ranges like1-3, 5, 8-10 to rotate only specific pages. Each rotated page is updated in-place; un-targeted pages remain at their original orientation.Frequently Asked Questions
Does rotation increase file size?
No. PDF rotation is metadata — only the rotation angle changes, page contents stay identical. The output file is virtually the same size as the input.
Can I rotate different pages by different amounts?
Not in one pass. Run the tool twice: first rotate pages 1-5 by 90°, then rotate pages 8-12 by 180° on the resulting file. The metadata approach makes this fast and lossless.
Why is my rotation not appearing in some viewers?
A few PDF viewers ignore the rotation flag and always show pages at their stored orientation. Most modern viewers (Acrobat, Chrome, Edge, Preview) respect it correctly.
