Rotate PDF pages together or one at a time
Choose 0°, 90°, 180° or 270° with a live preview. Apply to all pages is enabled by default; turn it off to keep a different rotation for each page. Thumbnails show every saved angle. You can also copy the current angle to a page range, odd pages or even pages. Save a separate PDF without uploading or rasterizing it.

Practical ways to use this tool
Office work
Correct a mixed-orientation file
Turn off Apply to all pages when only some report pages need rotation, then inspect the thumbnails.
Educators
Prepare a packet for printing
Use the same angle for a range or for odd or even pages when a scanned batch has a repeated orientation problem.
Features and controls
Set a different rotation for each page
Use one angle for all pages, or turn off Apply to all pages to adjust pages independently.
Angle tiles, page scope and ranges
Apply to all pages starts enabled. Choose an angle tile to set the same clockwise rotation for every page. 90° turns right, 180° turns upside down, and 270° is equivalent to a left turn. 0° restores the orientation loaded from the original PDF. Choosing a tile sets the angle; it does not add another turn each time.
Turn off Apply to all pages to change only the page being previewed. Use a thumbnail, navigation arrows or page number to move between pages. Navigation does not select pages for a batch operation. The preview, angle tile and thumbnail labels reflect each page’s saved rotation. Turning Apply to all pages on again copies the current page’s angle to every page.
For a batch, turn off Apply to all pages and expand Apply this angle to specific pages. Enter a range such as 1-3, 5, or use All, Odd or Even; None clears the range. Select Apply angle to pages to copy the displayed angle to that range. An empty range applies nothing. All document pages remain in the output, in their original order.
Reset restores every page’s original orientation and re-enables Apply to all pages. Back from the result retains the current edits; Start over clears the workspace. Rotation is saved in the PDF page orientation without converting text or vector artwork into images.
Choose rotation or deskew
Use rotation for sideways pages and deskew for a slight scan tilt.
Orientation versus scan tilt
This tool changes page orientation rather than rebuilding the page as an image. It does not correct a small angle within a scanned page. For that task, Deskew PDF has manual angle controls and an automatic method. Check text direction in the finished PDF, including any page that was already rotated in its original metadata.
Keep native page content
The operation works with PDF pages rather than screenshots.
Content quality and interactive features
Text and vector artwork remain in PDF form where supported. The original file on your device is not overwritten. Interactive forms, annotations, links and document-level navigation can behave differently in a newly assembled document, so check the generated PDF before sharing it. Page rearrangement is not redaction of information inside retained pages.
Review your finished PDF
Preview the result before downloading and sharing it.
Preview, download and revise
Select Start when the settings are ready. On the result screen, Preview opens the generated PDF and Download saves a separate copy. Back returns to the current workspace; Start over clears it for a new file. Review small text, page edges and page order in the finished copy. A new PDF does not preserve the validity of an existing digital signature.

FAQ
A few useful answers
Know what to expect before you start.
On your deviceCan I rotate each page differently?
Yes. Apply to all pages is enabled by default. Turn it off, choose a page from the thumbnail strip, and set its 0°, 90°, 180° or 270° rotation. Repeat for other pages, then preview the finished PDF. The tool changes page orientation without rasterizing the pages.
Does rotating PDF pages also straighten slightly tilted scans?
This tool changes page orientation rather than rebuilding the page as an image. It does not correct a small angle within a scanned page. For that task, Deskew PDF has manual angle controls and an automatic method. Check text direction in the finished PDF, including any page that was already rotated in its original metadata.
What are the file and page limits?
Open one PDF up to 300 MB and 750 source pages. Protected files need an unlocked copy unless this tool explicitly offers password entry. Large or complex pages can require more memory or reach processing limits even when the file is within these limits.
Are my files uploaded for this tool?
Document processing and PDF generation run in your browser on your device. This tool does not upload the document for processing. Save your result before closing or reloading the page; the original file on your device is unchanged.
