Rotate one or more PDF pages

Choose the wrongly oriented pages, apply a 90, 180 or 270 degree rotation, then export the corrected PDF. Unselected pages keep their orientation.

  1. Load the document and spot sideways or upside-down pages using the thumbnails.
  2. Select only the pages concerned and choose the rotation angle.
  3. Export the file, then check landscape appendices, which may deliberately have a different orientation.
Limits to know: up to 100 MB and 200 pages. Rotation is done in quarter turns. It does not straighten a photo tilted by a few degrees and does not run OCR.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rotate a single page?

Yes. Select only that page before applying the rotation.

Which rotation should I choose for an upside-down page?

Use 180 degrees. For a sideways page, choose 90 or 270 degrees depending on which way it faces.

Does the text stay selectable?

Yes, if the PDF already contained text. However, rotation does not turn a scanned image into selectable text.
