Rotate PDF Pages
Turn pages 90°, 180°, or 270° — all pages or a selected range — without quality loss.
About This Tool & Technical Logic
Scanned documents arrive sideways constantly — landscape scans saved as portrait, phone photos of receipts. Rotation here changes the page's /Rotate attribute: the content stays identical, only its display orientation flips, so nothing is re-rendered or degraded.
Apply rotation to every page or just a range (e.g., the one landscape table inside a portrait report). Multiple rotations accumulate: two 90° turns equal 180°.
page.setRotation(degrees((page.getRotation().angle + turn) % 360)) — pure metadata change.
How to Use — Step by Step
- 1
Load the PDF
The page count confirms the load; rotation is instant even for large scans.
- 2
Choose direction and scope
90° clockwise fixes most phone scans; use the range field to rotate only stray landscape pages.
- 3
Download and verify
Open the result in any viewer — rotation is part of the PDF standard, so it displays identically everywhere.
