PDF Rotator – Rotate PDF Pages in Any Direction
PDF documents sometimes load with pages in the wrong orientation—especially when scanned or converted from images. The PDF Rotator tool allows you to rotate all pages in a PDF document by 90°, 180°, or 270° degrees, fixing orientation issues quickly and securely in your browser.
This tool is perfect for correcting scanned documents, adjusting landscape/portrait orientation, or preparing PDFs for printing or sharing.
Why Rotate PDF Pages?
Common scenarios requiring PDF rotation include:
- Scanned Documents: Fix pages that were scanned upside-down or sideways
- Orientation Correction: Change landscape pages to portrait or vice versa
- Printing Preparation: Ensure pages align correctly for printing
- Document Consistency: Standardize page orientations across a multi-page PDF
Rotation Options
1. 90° Clockwise Rotation
Rotates pages 90 degrees clockwise, turning portrait pages to landscape (or vice versa). Useful for correcting sideways scans.
2. 180° Rotation
Flips pages completely upside-down. Ideal for fixing documents scanned upside-down.
3. 270° / -90° Counter-Clockwise Rotation
Rotates pages 270 degrees (or -90 degrees) counter-clockwise. Alternative to 90° clockwise rotation.
