How to Rotate PDF Pages

Rotation can correct pages scanned sideways or a document exported with inconsistent orientation. Check whether the problem affects every page or only a few before choosing a scope.

When this is useful

Use all-pages rotation for a consistently misoriented document; use page numbers or ranges when only selected pages need adjustment.

Steps

  1. Open the PDF and record which pages need rotation.

  2. Choose Rotate PDF, upload the file, and select 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

  3. Choose all pages or enter only the affected pages and ranges.

  4. Download the new file and inspect the affected pages as well as neighboring pages.

Important considerations

If something goes wrong

If a page turns the wrong way, retry from the untouched original with the opposite quarter-turn. Avoid applying successive rotations to the same already-rotated output.
