Rotate a PDF
Set the pages upright

Settings
Drop a file to begin.
Everything happens in this tab. The file is never sent, so there is no upload, no queue and no size ceiling beyond your device's memory.
What this tool does
Turns the whole document or only chosen pages. The rotation adds to the one already stored in the file, so a page that is already on its side turns rather than straightens.

Frequently asked questions
- Why does my page turn instead of straightening up?
- Because the rotation adds to the one already stored in the file. A page lying at 90° that you turn another quarter ends up at 180°. Check the preview, then correct the other way.
- Is the rotation saved for good?
- Yes, it is written into the document: every reader will apply it, and printing will come out the right way up. It is not a display setting.
- Can I rotate only the even pages?
- Name them in the scope, as a list or a range. That is the usual case for a book scanned in two passes, where half the pages arrive upside down.
