# Rotate PDF pages

> Rotate one page, selected pages or the whole PDF by 90° and save the rotation in the file. Previews show the result. Free, in your browser, no upload.

Turn sideways or upside-down pages the right way, and save the rotation for good.

Rotating in a viewer only changes how you see the page. This tool writes the rotation into the PDF, so the pages open the right way everywhere. Rotation is lossless: nothing is redrawn.

## How it works

1. Drop the PDF.
2. Rotate pages with their own buttons, or select several and rotate them together.
3. Select Save rotated PDF and download it.

## Supported files

Input: one PDF. Output: one PDF.

Up to 400 MB per PDF on a computer, 150 MB on iPhone and iPad. Larger files depend on your device's memory.

## When to use it

- Fix scanned pages that came out sideways.
- Turn landscape tables upright for printing.
- Correct a document photographed upside down.

## Quality and limitations

- Rotation is in steps of 90°. To straighten a slightly tilted scan, scan it again.
- Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first.

## Common issues

- **Pages still look sideways in my viewer.** Make sure you opened the new file (its name ends with -rotated). Some viewers keep their own view rotation; reset it.
- **I want to rotate all pages at once.** Select all pages, then use Rotate left or Rotate right in the toolbar.

## Private by design

This tool runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Your file is read and processed on your device and is never uploaded to a server. Closing the tab discards everything.
