Can I rotate individual pages or only the whole PDF?

Both. Every page thumbnail has its own rotation controls so you can mix portrait and landscape pages, or use Rotate all in the toolbar to apply 90, 180, or 270 degrees to the entire document. All rotation runs in your browser using pdf-lib.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

All page rotation is performed in your browser using pdf-lib. Our servers are not involved at any point.

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?

The content itself is unchanged. pdf-lib sets the page rotation flag in the PDF metadata, so text remains selectable after rotation.

Rotate PDF

Rotate PDF is a PDF tool that corrects page orientation in any PDF by 90°, 180°, or 270°. It renders every page as a thumbnail, supports individual or bulk rotation, and preserves the underlying text and content. The tool runs in your browser.

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.
