How do I flip PDF pages?

Drop your PDF into the tool and click 180° under Rotate all to flip every page. Use the ↻ and ↺ buttons under each thumbnail for page-by-page control. Then click Download rotated PDF.

What is the difference between flipping and mirroring a PDF?

Flipping (180° rotation) turns the page upside down. Mirroring creates a horizontal reflection. This tool performs 180° rotation, the most common fix for upside-down scans.

Can I flip only specific pages?

Yes. Use the rotate buttons on individual page thumbnails to flip only the pages that need it.

Is flipping a PDF reversible?

If you flip once you can flip again (another 180°) to return to the original orientation. The tool also has a Reset button to clear all rotations.

Will the quality of the PDF change after flipping?

Flipping changes only each page's /Rotate entry. The page content is not re-encoded, so text and images keep their quality.

How it works

Flipping here means a 180° turn: each page's /Rotate value goes up by 180 when you download, so a page scanned upside down displays the right way up. It is a rotation, not a mirror image, so text still reads normally and stays selectable. The thumbnails show the flip on screen before you download, and nothing on the page is re-rendered.

Processing runs in your browser

All processing happens inside your browser tab. pdf-lib modifies the document structure entirely in memory; our servers are not involved at any point.
