What is PDF Rotation?

PDF rotation is the process of changing the orientation of pages within a PDF document by rotating them 90°, 180°, or 270° degrees clockwise. This operation modifies page display metadata without altering content quality, making it ideal for correcting scanned documents or adjusting page orientation for proper viewing.

Our PDF rotator makes it simple to rotate pages: upload your PDF, select which pages to rotate (or choose all pages), pick your rotation angle (90°, 180°, or 270°), preview the changes, and download your corrected file in seconds. Process files in under 3 seconds with no software installation, account creation, or watermarks required.

Whether you need to rotate PDFs to fix scanned documents, correct upside-down pages, convert landscape to portrait orientation, or prepare files for mobile viewing, our free tool delivers professional results. The intelligent rotation engine preserves all formatting, images, and content from your original file without quality loss.

The primary advantages include lightning-fast processing that handles even large documents, all rotation angles supported for complete flexibility, and absolute privacy with automatic file deletion after 24 hours. Being completely free with unlimited rotations, no watermarks, and support for files up to 100MB makes professional-grade PDF rotation accessible to everyone.
