About PDF Rotator
The PDF Rotator uses pdf-lib to rotate PDF pages by 90°, 180° or 270° entirely in your browser, with support for all pages or a specific page range - no upload required. It fixes common problems like wrong scan orientation, landscape phone-photo exports, and reversed duplex-print output. The tool modifies the page rotation property directly, with no resampling or compression, so output quality matches the original. Page-range rotation lets you target only the pages that are wrong. Everything runs locally, keeping your documents private.
How to Use
- Open the PDF Rotator tool page
- Enter or paste your data into the input area
- View the real-time results and use the copy button to get the output
Use Cases
- Fix Scan Orientation — Scanner or phone exports occasionally come out sideways - rotate 90° or 180° to restore correct reading direction.
- Mixed Orientation — When a document mixes landscape pages, rotate the landscape ones 90° to unify everything to portrait for continuous reading and printing.
- Duplex Print Correction — Duplex printing can flip the back side upside down - rotate 180° to fix it so bound pages read correctly.
- Targeted Page Rotation — When only some pages are wrong, rotate just those by page range without affecting the rest.
- Slide Deck Adjustment — Rotate a landscape slide PDF to portrait to fit portrait displays or portrait printing.
FAQ
Does rotation reduce page quality?
No. The tool changes the page rotation property rather than redrawing content - no resampling or compression - so output matches the original quality.
Can I rotate only some pages?
Yes. Specify pages by range, e.g. `1-3,5`; only those pages rotate while the rest stay unchanged.
Are files uploaded to a server?
No. All rotation happens locally in the browser; your PDF never leaves your device.
Is 180° rotation supported?
Yes - 90°, 180° and 270° are all supported. 180° is common for fixing upside-down pages; 90°/270° for landscape-portrait conversion.
Can I rotate back after rotating?
Yes. Rotating an already-rotated page stacks the angles - e.g. 90° then 270° equals 360°, restoring the original orientation.
Can I batch-rotate multiple PDFs?
This tool focuses on precise single-file rotation with per-page control. For batches, process files one at a time.
