How to rotate PDF pages
- Drop your PDF file on the box above, or click it to choose the file — or press Load a sample to try it first.
- Check the settings below the box; the defaults suit most files.
- Press Convert. Long jobs show a progress bar and can be cancelled; you then see what was made and its real size.
- Download the .pdf file.
What is kept when you rotate PDF pages
- Pages are turned by 90, 180 or 270 degrees clockwise — all pages, odd or even pages, or the pages you list.
- Rotation is stored in the page itself, the way PDF readers rotate pages: nothing is re-rendered, so quality and selectable text are unchanged.
- A page that was already rotated is turned further from its current orientation.
Example
Rotating only page 2 of the sample:
Input
sample.pdf — 3 pages, A4 portrait (440.0 KB)
Rotate page 2 by 90°Output
page 1: A4 portrait
page 2: A4 portrait, rotated 90°
page 3: A4 portraitAbout PDF files
A PDF holds pages that look the same on every device: text with its fonts, vector drawings and images at fixed positions. Pages can be rotated, reordered or copied between files without redrawing them. It opens in any browser, Acrobat Reader, phone and tablet viewers.
Good to know
- A PDF that asks for a password when you open it cannot be processed here; protection is never removed.
Privacy and limits
The file is read and converted by this page in your browser; there is no upload and no account. Nothing inside a PDF is run: there is no PDF JavaScript engine on this page, and links and forms are copied, not followed. Encrypted PDFs are refused rather than unlocked. PDFs may have up to 2,000 pages. Files up to 150 MB are accepted; a file of the wrong type or a damaged file is rejected with the reason.
