Can I rotate only some pages?

Yes — type the page numbers you want turned and the rest of the document is left exactly as it was.

Does rotating reduce the page quality?

No, because the orientation is stored as a property rather than re-drawing the page, so text and images stay pristine.

Why can I only turn in 90-degree steps?

The PDF specification records page rotation in right-angle increments, so those are the turns available here.

Is the document uploaded to rotate it?

No — the change is made in your browser and saved straight back to you.

Rotate PDF pages free, in your browser

If a scan came in sideways or a page is upside down, this tool spins it back by ninety, one hundred eighty, or two hundred seventy degrees and saves a corrected copy. The rotation is written into the document by your own browser, so a misoriented contract is fixed without that contract being shipped off to a remote converter.

Open a PDF, choose how far to turn it and which pages, then download the corrected file.

How this works

What happens when you use this tool

pdf-lib adjusts each page's rotation attribute by the quarter-turn you select, so the correction is stored in the file rather than baked into a new image.

You can spin the whole document or name specific pages, which is useful when only a few scans came in the wrong way.

What this tool can't do

Turns are limited to right angles: Pages rotate in ninety-degree steps because that is what the PDF format stores; this tool will not nudge a page by an arbitrary few degrees to straighten a crooked scan.
It cannot open protected files: A password-locked document will not load for rotating, and the tool will not try to remove that protection to get at the pages.
