Rotate PDF Pages
Upload a PDF, rotate individual pages with the buttons on each thumbnail or rotate all, odd or even pages at once by 90° left, 90° right or 180°, then click Rotate PDF to save the corrected file.

How to Use
Upload the PDF
Drop the file onto the upload area to see its pages.
Choose pages
Use the per-page rotate buttons, or set Apply to All Pages, Odd Pages or Even Pages.
Pick an angle
Rotate Left 90°, Rotate Right 90° or Rotate 180°. Thumbnails update so you can check the result.
Save
Click Rotate PDF and download the file. The rotation is stored in the PDF, so it stays when you reopen it.
Why rotating in a viewer is not enough
Most PDF viewers let you rotate the view, but that change is often not saved, so the page is sideways again next time or for the person you send it to. This tool writes the rotation into the PDF itself.
How rotation works here
The tool changes each page's rotation setting rather than redrawing the content, so there is no quality loss and the file size stays about the same. Odd and even page options help with duplex scans where every back side came out upside down.
If you need angles other than multiples of 90°, use Rotate Custom.
Use Cases
Landscape tables in a portrait report
Turn wide spreadsheet pages so they read correctly on screen.
Phone scans
Fix pages captured sideways by a scanning app before sending them on.
Duplex scanning errors
Rotate only the even pages by 180° when every back side is upside down.
