About this tool
Rotate PDF turns every page of the document by the chosen angle (90°, 180°, or 270° clockwise) and produces a new PDF ready to download.
How to use
- Upload the PDF.
- Pick the rotation: 90°, 180°, or 270°.
- Download the rotated PDF.
Use cases
- Fix a scan that came out sideways or upside down.
- Straighten a landscape PDF so it reads in portrait.
- Prep a document before merging or numbering it.
Limits
- Max PDF size: 50 MB.
- The rotation applies to every page equally; per-page rotation isn't available in this version.
- The rotation is added on top of the orientation the PDF already stores.
- Some PDFs with complex internal structures may display correctly in the browser but fail when modified. If the output is blank, cropped, or shifted, try re-exporting/printing the file as PDF and then try again.
