Fix a sideways scan without uploading it

A scanner that fed a page the wrong way, or a phone that guessed the orientation wrong, leaves you with a PDF that is unreadable without tilting your head. Rotating it is a one-second job that most online tools ask you to upload a document for. This one uses pdf-lib in your browser. The file never leaves your device.

Rotation is added, not replaced

A PDF page carries its own rotation value, and plenty of pages already have one — that is exactly why they look sideways. This tool adds your turn to whatever the page already had, rather than overwriting it. That sounds like a detail and is not: a tool that sets the rotation absolutely will silently straighten some pages and skew others in the same document, which is far more confusing than a page that simply did not turn.

Rotate everything, or only some pages

Leave the pages field empty and every page turns. Fill it in — 1-3, 5 — and only those pages move, which is what a mixed-orientation scan actually needs. Pages outside the document are ignored rather than treated as an error. The rotation is stored as page metadata rather than by re-drawing anything, so no quality is lost and text stays selectable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, completely free. There is no signup, no usage limit, no watermark on the PDF, and no payment. The tool runs in your browser.
No. Your document is read directly in your browser and rotated there. It never leaves your device. Only the PDF library itself is downloaded from a CDN, never your file.
Yes. Leave the pages field empty to rotate every page, or list the ones you want, for example 1-3, 5. Pages outside the document are ignored rather than causing an error.
No. Rotation is stored as page metadata rather than by re-drawing the page, so nothing is re-compressed, no quality is lost, and the text stays selectable and searchable.
Your turn is added to the rotation the page already has, rather than replacing it. That matters in a document where pages have different starting orientations - replacing the value would straighten some pages and skew others.
