Rotate PDF pages, one at a time or all at once
Fix sideways or upside-down pages: turn single pages or the whole PDF left or right, then download it or send it as a fax. Free, no account, and nothing is uploaded: the PDF is changed in your browser on this device.

Nothing is uploaded. Your files are opened and the new PDF is made by your browser on this device; they are gone when you close the tab.

How to use it
- Choose or drop the PDF.
- Tap a page to turn it right, use the buttons under it to turn it left or right, or turn all pages at once.
- Download the rotated PDF, or send it as a fax.
How this works
Everything runs in your browser, with the open-source libraries pdf.js (to read and draw pages) and pdf-lib (to write the PDF). This is what happens to your files.
- Showing the pages
- Your browser opens the PDF with pdf.js and draws a small picture of each page as it scrolls into view. Nothing is sent to a server at any point.
- Turning a page
- Every PDF page has a rotation setting (0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees) that tells viewers and printers which way up to show it. The tool adds your turn to that setting. The page itself is not redrawn, so text, links and quality stay exactly as they were, and the file stays about the same size.
- Saving
- pdf-lib copies the pages into a new PDF with the new rotation. A PDF that needs a password to open can't be used; one that is protected against editing is saved with its pages as 200 dpi images, because its pages can't be copied.
Questions
Is anything uploaded?
No. The PDF is opened, turned and saved by your browser on your device, and is gone when you close the tab. Our analytics record the number of pages and how many were turned, never the file or its name. If you choose to fax the result, it is uploaded at that point, on the send page, as part of sending it.
Can I rotate just one page?
Yes. Each page has its own buttons to turn it left or right, and tapping the page turns it right. The All pages buttons turn every page at once, and Undo puts them all back.
Is the rotation permanent?
It is saved in the new PDF, so every viewer, printer and fax shows the pages the new way. Your original file is not changed; the tool makes a new copy.
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. Only the page's rotation setting changes; the content is not redrawn or re-compressed. The exception is a PDF protected against editing, whose pages are saved as 200 dpi images.
