Rotate every page, or only the ones that came out wrong, by 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
Drag it in or choose it.
And which pages to turn.
Every page reads upright.
Some pages come out sideways or upside down, especially after scanning. This tool turns them the right way and saves the change into the file.
The rotation is stored in the PDF itself. It stays turned when you email it, upload it or open it on another device. Your original file is left as it was, so you can always go back to it.
A landscape page, like a wide table or a certificate, can show up lying on its side. Pick 90 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on which way the top of the page points now. If the text is upside down, choose 180 degrees.
The turn is added to whatever rotation the page already has. If a page is still wrong after one try, run the new file again with another turn.
An easy way to choose: look at where the top edge of the text is now. If it points to the left, turn the page 90 degrees clockwise. If it points to the right, turn it counter-clockwise. If it points down, use 180 degrees.
Reviewers at banks, embassies and universities look through many files a day. Pages that read the right way up make your documents easier to check. A sideways certificate can even be marked unclear and sent back to you.
Many PDF viewers can turn a page on screen, but they do not save it. The next person who opens the file still sees it sideways. Rotating here changes the file itself, so the fix travels with it.
If the whole document is upside down, leave the Pages box empty and pick 180 degrees. Every page is turned in one go, and the file size stays almost the same.
Planning to add page numbers too? Rotate first. The numbering tool then places each number upright on the corrected pages.
The PDF is opened and saved in your browser. It does not go to any server, and there is no account to make. You can fix a sideways file on a phone just before you upload it, and the result has no watermark.
Open Rotate PDF, turn all pages or only some, then download. The PDF stays rotated wherever you open it.
It turns the page to the right, like the hands of a clock. Choose counter-clockwise to turn it to the left.
Yes. Type that page's number in the Pages box and only that page turns.
The turn is added to the page's current rotation. Try again on the new file with the other direction, or with 180 degrees.
No. Only the page direction changes; the text and pictures are not redrawn.
