Rotate PDF pages

Worth knowing

• The file never leaves your computer. Every one of these tools runs inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no copy on a server, nothing to delete afterwards and no queue of other people’s documents next to yours.
• This saves the rotation, unlike your reader. Turning a page in Preview or a browser only changes how you are looking at it. This writes the rotation into the document, so the person you send it to sees it the right way up too.
• Mixed orientations are fine. You can rotate individual pages by different amounts — useful for a scan where one page went through the feeder sideways.
• Nothing is re-rendered. The rotation is a property of the page, so there is no quality loss and no change in file size.

When to use it

• Fixing scanned pages that came out sideways or upside down.
• Turning a landscape table page so it reads properly in a portrait report.
• Correcting photos of documents taken with the phone turned the wrong way.

Questions

Will the rotation stay when I send the file?

Yes. The rotation is saved into the PDF, unlike turning the view in a PDF reader.

Can I rotate just one page?

Yes. Select only the pages you need and rotate them by different amounts if necessary.

Does rotating reduce quality or change file size?

No. Rotation is a page setting, so nothing is re-rendered.
