Correct page orientation
Scanners, phone cameras, and imported documents can produce pages in the wrong orientation. The rotate tool lets you turn selected pages so the document reads naturally.
How to rotate a PDF
- Open the rotate tool and upload your PDF.
- Select the affected page or pages.
- Rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.
- Review the thumbnails and full-size pages.
- Download the corrected PDF.
Rotate only the pages that need it
Mixed-orientation PDFs may contain portrait and landscape pages intentionally. Check tables, signatures, and diagrams before applying the same rotation to the entire file.
Use rotation before other edits
Correcting orientation first can make later text review, page organization, splitting, and signing easier.
Frequently asked questions
Does rotation reduce quality?
Page rotation generally changes orientation without retyping the content.
Can I rotate only one page?
Use the page-selection options to target the affected pages.
Can I rotate scanned PDFs?
Yes. Scanned pages can be rotated because the operation applies to the PDF page.
Can I undo a rotation?
Before downloading, rotate the page again or reload the original file if needed.
Should landscape pages always be changed to portrait?
No. Keep intentional landscape tables and diagrams in the orientation that is easiest to read.
