PDF Rotator
Rotate pages of your PDF document in increments of 90 degrees. Fully offline and secure inside your browser.
What is PDF Rotator?
The PDF Rotator allows you to change the orientation of individual pages or entire PDF files. If you have scanned files that came out upside down or sideways, this tool lets you rotate them 90, 180, or 270 degrees in seconds.
How Does PDF Rotator Work?
It modifies the `/Rotate` attribute of the page objects inside the PDF structure using client-side JavaScript. This changes the display angle instantly without re-compressing or degrading page quality.

- Select and upload the PDF file you wish to rotate.
- Choose to rotate all pages or select specific pages visually.
- Click the rotate buttons (clockwise or counter-clockwise) to fix orientation.
