Rotate a PDF
Turn the pages of a PDF a quarter, a half or three quarters of a turn.
How it works
- Drag and drop your PDF files below.
- Grab the example page and turn it — it locks to quarter turns.
- Click Rotate PDF to start.
What this tool does to your file
Rotating a PDF here changes one number per page rather than redrawing anything: a page carries a rotation entry that tells the viewer how far to turn it before display, and that is what gets set. Nothing is rasterised, no text is re-laid out, and links, selectable text and form fields all survive untouched — which is what keeps the result a PDF rather than a picture of one. A 500-page document costs a parse and a save. The turn is relative to what you can see, not absolute: pages routinely arrive already rotated — a landscape scan is usually stored as a portrait page turned 90 degrees — and asking for another quarter turn turns the page you are looking at, rather than overwriting whatever the file happened to record. Every page in the file is turned by the same amount. Up to 20 files per job.
What happens to your files
- No account needed — Every tool works as a guest. Signing in raises the limits and keeps your files together, but nothing asks you to register before you get a result.
- It runs in your browser — There is nothing to install and nothing to keep up to date. Files travel to our servers over an encrypted connection, and come back the same way.
- Your files stay yours — Files and results stay in your account until you delete them. Files from a guest session that is never linked to an account are removed automatically after a period of inactivity.
- Size limits, stated up front — Up to 10 MB per file as a guest, and up to 25 MB signed in. You see the limit before you upload, not after.
