My PDF pages are sideways or upside down
Tilting your head to read a scan? Rotate the pages and save the fix so it's right on every device.
Scanners and phones often save PDF pages in the wrong orientation. A rotate tool turns pages 90°, 180° or 270° and, crucially, saves the rotation into the file, so it stays fixed everywhere. Our Rotate PDF tool does this in your browser. Rotate every page at once, or just the ones that came out sideways.

How to fix it
Follow these steps and you'll have it sorted in a couple of minutes.
- 1
Open the Rotate PDF tool
Drop the PDF in. It renders in your browser. The file is never uploaded.
- 2
Rotate the pages
Turn all pages together, or select only the sideways/upside-down ones and rotate those.
- 3
Confirm the orientation
Check the preview so every page reads upright before you export.
- 4
Save the rotated PDF
Download it. The rotation is baked into the file, so it opens correctly everywhere, not just in your viewer.
- Rotating in a viewer without saving. That only changes the view, not the file. Export so the fix sticks.
- Rotating every page when only a couple are wrong. Select just those to avoid tipping the correct ones.
- Confusing 90° clockwise with anticlockwise. Check the preview rather than guessing the direction.
