About this workflow
Rotate PDF changes the page orientation in a generated copy of one PDF using the supported clockwise rotation setting. It is intended for pages that were scanned or exported sideways or upside down.
Rotation runs in the browser and does not rasterize the document merely to turn a page. The original file remains unchanged.
What to check before processing
Use the preview to decide which supported rotation angle produces the intended reading orientation. Rotation is different from cropping: it turns page content and dimensions according to the PDF operation rather than trimming the page.
If only selected pages need different rotations or the page order also needs changes, use Organize PDF, where rotation is part of a page-level plan.
What to expect from the result
The result is a new PDF with the configured rotation applied. The result preview lets you check orientation before downloading the rotated copy.
Some PDF viewers can display rotation metadata in different ways, so review the generated result in the browser and in the viewer used by your workflow when orientation is important.
Common uses
- Correct a PDF scanned in landscape orientation.
- Turn an upside-down exported document to the expected reading direction.
- Normalize orientation before merging the PDF with other files.
Tips for a better result
- Use Organize PDF for mixed per-page rotations.
- Check the first and last pages after rotating a multipage document.
- Keep the source if downstream software is sensitive to page geometry.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Rotate PDF crop pages?
- No. The rotation workflow changes orientation; it is not a crop tool.
- Can I rotate individual pages differently here?
- Use Organize PDF when you need page-by-page rotation together with page ordering or removal.
