Rotate PDF — Fix Page Orientation in Your Browser
Rotate PDF pages in your browser to fix landscape/portrait mix-ups—nothing is uploaded to a server. Steps: choose a PDF, pick all pages or ranges like 1-3,5, select 90° clockwise, 180°, or 90° counter-clockwise, rotate, then download. Example: a two-page sample rotates all pages 90° clockwise and enables Download for rotated.pdf. Encrypted files fail with a clear error.
How it works
Choose one PDF, select all pages or enter ranges, pick a rotation angle, click Rotate, then Download. Rotation adds to any existing page angle. Everything runs in this tab after the libraries load—your file is not uploaded to a server.
Rules you should expect
Angles, cumulative rotation, range syntax, privacy, and failure cases for local PDF rotation.
- Angles: 90° clockwise, 180°, or 90° counter-clockwise (270°). Each choice adds to the page’s current rotation.
- Pages: all pages, or 1-based ranges like 1-3,5 (same syntax as Split PDF).
- Output: one PDF with selected pages re-oriented; unlisted pages keep their original angle.
- Privacy & limits: bytes stay in the tab; encrypted/corrupt PDFs fail clearly; huge files may be slow in memory.
Example
Sample builds a two-page PDF, rotates every page 90° clockwise, and enables Download for rotated.pdf.
Good fits
- Office: turn a sideways scan upright before printing or emailing.
- Students: fix phone photos of slides mixed landscape and portrait.
- Site owners: batch-fix one wrong page in a handout without re-scanning.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF library runs in your tab (scripts may load from a CDN). Your PDF is not uploaded to our servers.
Does rotation change the file permanently?
Yes—the new file keeps the rotated orientation. Re-open it in a viewer to confirm before sharing.
How do page ranges work?
Use 1-based pages: 1-3,5 means pages 1–3 and page 5. Spaces are optional. Empty or out-of-range values fail.
What about encrypted PDFs?
Password-protected PDFs usually fail to open here. Remove the password with a tool you trust, then rotate.
