Rotate PDF pages 90, 180 or 270° and save — privately in your browser.
Processed locally — your file is never uploaded.
How do you rotate the pages of a PDF?
Choose 90, 180 or 270° for all pages or a selected range; the angle is added to each page's existing rotation (modulo 360°), so a page already at 90° rotated by 90° becomes 180°. A sideways scan saved at 270° rotated 90° clockwise ends up upright at 0°. The rotation is stored in the page, so it opens correctly in any reader.
Understanding your result
Rotation is stored in the page itself, so the document opens correctly in any reader — not only on your screen.
Formula and method
The chosen angle is added to each selected page’s existing rotation (modulo 360°), so a page already at 90° rotated by 90° becomes 180°.
Assumptions and limitations
Password-protected (encrypted) PDFs may not open. Remove the password first, then try again.
Worked example
A sideways scan saved at 270° rotated by 90° clockwise ends up upright at 0°.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Rotating the wrong direction — 90° is clockwise, 270° is counter-clockwise.

Frequently asked questions
Does the rotation stick when I reopen the file?
Yes. The rotation is written into the PDF, so it opens correctly in any viewer.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Pages are rotated entirely in your browser; your PDF never leaves your device.
