What is the PDF Rotate?
A PDF rotator changes the displayed orientation of selected pages by 90, 180, or 270 degrees and saves a new PDF with the rotation baked in. The change is metadata-only (no rasterization), so text stays selectable and file size barely shifts. Useful when scans came in sideways, when phone-camera shots ended up upside down, or when a printer fed a page the wrong way.
How to use the PDF Rotate
- 1
Drop in a PDF
Drag a PDF onto the upload area, or click to browse. The page thumbnails appear in a grid as soon as the file loads.
- 2
Pick the pages to rotate
Click a thumbnail to select it (border turns primary). Use Select all / Clear to toggle the whole document. The selection count shows above the grid.
- 3
Choose an angle
Click 90° (clockwise), 180°, or 270° (counter-clockwise). Each click adds the rotation on top of any existing one, so two 90° clicks equal a 180° flip.

Save the rotated PDF
Click Apply & Download. @cantoo/pdf-lib writes the new rotation flags and saves the file. Text stays searchable; the rest of the document is untouched.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. PDF rotation is a metadata flag on the page, not a re-render — the page contents (text, images, vectors) are unchanged. The file size stays within a few bytes of the original, and text remains selectable and searchable.
Can I rotate just one page?
Yes. Click that page's thumbnail to select only it, then choose an angle. Use Clear to start over, or Select all to toggle every page at once. The rotation only applies to pages currently in the selection.
Is the rotation permanent?
It's permanent inside the saved PDF — viewers will always show the page rotated. To undo, run the rotated PDF back through this tool with the inverse angle (a 90° rotation cancels with a 270°).
