How do I rotate a PDF 90 degrees?

Drop your PDF into the tool, then click 'All 90°' to rotate every page 90° clockwise. For individual pages, use the rotate buttons on each thumbnail. Then click Download.

Can I rotate only some pages, not all?

Yes. Use the rotate left and rotate right buttons on individual page thumbnails to set each page's rotation independently before downloading.

Is 90° clockwise or counter-clockwise?

The default 'All 90°' button rotates clockwise. Use the left-arrow button on individual thumbnails to rotate counter-clockwise (270° clockwise).

Will the rotation be permanently saved in the PDF?

Yes. The downloaded PDF has the rotation baked in, it will open in any PDF viewer showing the correct orientation.

Are my files private?

Yes. The PDF is loaded and processed locally using pdf-lib. No file is uploaded to any server.

How it works

This tool uses pdf-lib, a pure JavaScript PDF library that runs entirely in your browser. Your PDF is parsed in memory, pages are rotated by updating their rotation metadata, and the modified document is downloaded directly to your computer.

Processing runs in your browser

All processing happens inside your browser tab. pdf-lib modifies the document structure entirely in memory, with no network requests.
