Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Page rotation is performed using pdf-lib running in your browser.

Can I rotate individual pages rather than the whole document?

Yes. Each page thumbnail has independent rotation controls. Mix portrait and landscape pages as needed.

Are rotations of 90, 180, and 270 degrees supported?

Yes. Click the rotate-right button once for 90 degrees, twice for 180, three times for 270. The rotation is cumulative.

Will rotating affect the PDF text or content?

No. pdf-lib sets the page rotation flag in the PDF metadata, the content itself is unchanged. Text remains selectable after rotation.

Common uses

Correcting landscape-oriented pages in a document that should be portrait, then merge PDFs if the corrected file needs to be combined with others

Fixing orientation of specific pages in a mixed-orientation report or book, use split PDF to separate sections before rotating them

Technical specification

Algorithm or formula: For each affected page, the tool calls pdf-lib's page.setRotation(degrees(angle)), where angle is a multiple of 90. Rotation is encoded as page metadata; underlying content is untouched.
Browser API or library: pdf-lib for PDF write; pdfjs-dist for thumbnail rendering with the live rotation preview.
Input limits: PDF up to 100 MB. Rotation angles 90°, 180°, 270° (cumulative on each click).
Output: Rotated PDF (application/pdf) with the same content and selectable text, downloaded via Blob URL.
Known limitations: Only 90-degree increments are supported. Annotations attached to a page retain the original coordinate system and may render unexpectedly in some viewers.
