How-to

How do I rotate a PDF so it stays rotated?

To rotate a PDF for good, add your file, then click a page to turn it 90 degrees or use the buttons to turn every page at once. The tool writes the rotation into the file itself, so it opens the right way up in every viewer and when printed, unlike the rotate button in a PDF viewer, which only changes the view and resets when you reopen the file. It all runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and you do not need an account.

  1. 1

    Drag your PDF onto the tool or click to choose it. It loads in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    Click any page to turn it 90 degrees, or use the buttons to turn every page at once.

  3. 3

    The tool writes the new orientation into the file, so it is not just an on-screen view.

  4. 4

    Save the rotated PDF. It opens the right way up on every device and when printed.

Rotating only changes the page orientation flag; it does not re-compress or change the page content, so quality is unchanged. It turns pages in quarter turns and cannot straighten a page that was scanned at a slight angle.
