About this tool
Rotate pages in a PDF by 90°, 180°, or 270° — clockwise. Useful for fixing scanned documents that were saved sideways, or for preparing PDFs for printing in a specific orientation.
How it works
- Upload a PDF — everything happens in your browser, no upload.
- Choose the rotation angle and which pages to rotate.
- We use pdf-lib to set the page rotation property — this is a lossless operation. No re-encoding, no quality loss.
- Download the rotated PDF. Original is untouched.
Why this is lossless
- PDF supports a "rotation" property per page. Setting this property rotates the page when displayed without re-encoding the content.
- This is different from "render the page, rotate the image, embed back" — which is what most online tools do and causes quality loss.
- Your fonts, images, and vector graphics are preserved byte-for-byte.
Frequently asked questions
Is the rotation permanent?
Yes. The rotation is written into the PDF page properties. When you open the file in any PDF reader, the pages display rotated.
Can I rotate different pages in different directions?
This tool rotates all selected pages the same way. For per-page rotation in different directions, use a desktop tool like Adobe Acrobat or PDFsam.
Will rotating increase the file size?
No. Rotation is just a property change, not a re-encoding. File size stays the same or may even decrease slightly due to stream re-compression.
