When you need to rotate a PDF
Scanned documents and phone photos often come out sideways or upside down, so you have to tilt your head to read them. Rotating a PDF fixes the orientation permanently, so the file opens the right way up for everyone and prints correctly. It’s especially handy after scanning multi-page documents or converting landscape photos into a PDF.
How to rotate a PDF, step by step
- Drag in (or browse for) your PDF.
- Choose how far to rotate: 90° clockwise, 180° (upside down), or 270° (90° left).
- Click Rotate & Download — the corrected PDF saves instantly.
The rotation is applied in your browser, so your file is never uploaded to a server.
Which angle should I choose?
- 90° clockwise — for a page that’s lying on its left side.
- 270° (90° left) — for a page that’s lying on its right side.
- 180° — for a page that’s completely upside down.
