Rotate PDF
Rotate PDF Pages Online and Save Permanently
Scanned pages often come out sideways or upside down. Rotating them in a viewer only changes the view; the file stays wrong for everyone else.
Rotating and saving fixes the file itself.
How to rotate
- Open the Rotate PDF tool.
- Drop the PDF in.
- Use Rotate all left/right, or click individual pages to rotate them.
- Download the corrected PDF.
Saved permanently
The rotation is written into the new PDF, so it opens correctly in every viewer and prints the right way.
Viewer rotation vs saved rotation
Rotating a page in Chrome, Edge or Acrobat Reader only changes your current view. When you send the file, it opens sideways for everyone else. This tool writes the rotation into a new PDF, so it opens correctly everywhere and prints the right way up.
Tips
- Rotate all left/right for whole scans.
- Click single pages for mixed documents.
- Check thumbnails before downloading.
Common causes of sideways pages
- Phone scanner apps guessing orientation wrongly.
- Landscape tables in portrait reports.
- Documents fed upside down into a scanner.
- Labels generated in landscape for portrait rolls.
For shipping labels
If label pages are sideways, the label crop tools can rotate each label automatically to fit 4×6 rolls – use Auto-rotate there instead of rotating the whole file.
Before you send
Open the downloaded file once to confirm every page is upright. Delete or rename the old sideways copy so you do not accidentally email it instead of the corrected version.
Common cases
- Sideways scans from phone apps.
- Landscape pages mixed with portrait.
- Upside-down pages from feeder scanners.
