Fix sideways scans
The classic problem with anything that came off a scanner or a phone camera: some pages are the right way up and some are sideways or upside down. You end up tilting your head to read it, and it prints wrong.
This tool rotates pages by 90°, 180° or 270° — all of them, or only the broken ones. Page content is not reprocessed, only the orientation flag is updated, so text stays selectable and the file size barely changes.
Thumbnails show the result
The annoying part of rotating is working out in your head whether you need 90° or 270°. Here the thumbnails show the actual resulting orientation: as you rotate, the preview rotates with it, so you can see the document will be right before you download it.
Select pages individually and give each its own angle, or turn the whole document in one action. Everything happens in your browser; your document is never uploaded.
How to rotate pages in a PDF
Step 1: Upload the PDF
Drag in your document; every page appears as a thumbnail.
Step 2: Select the pages to fix
Click the pages that are sideways or upside down. If the whole document is wrong, select them all at once.
Step 3: Apply the angle
Choose 90°, 180° or 270° and check in the thumbnails that the result looks right.
Step 4: Download the document
Save the corrected PDF. Your original file stays unchanged.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rotate only some pages?
Yes. Select pages individually and give each one its own angle — with scanned documents that is the most common case.
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. Page content is not reprocessed, only the orientation is changed. Text stays selectable and the file size is essentially the same.
How do I know whether I need 90° or 270°?
You do not have to work it out — the thumbnails show the real orientation after rotation. If you turned it the wrong way, you see it immediately and fix it.
Is the rotation permanent?
In the file you download, yes. Anyone who opens it sees the corrected orientation.
Is my document uploaded?
No. Previews and rotation both run entirely in your browser.
