How to rotate pages in a PDF and save them

Scans often come out sideways or upside down. Rotating in a PDF viewer only changes your view; the file stays wrong for everyone else. Rotate PDF saves the change into the file.

Steps

  1. Open Rotate PDF on PDFoxen.
  2. Select your PDF. The pages are shown as previews.
  3. Click the rotate button on each page that needs turning, or rotate all pages at once.
  4. Click Save and download the fixed PDF.

Tips

Landscape pages such as wide tables are meant to be sideways. Only rotate pages that are hard to read.

To fix the order of pages at the same time, use Organize PDF, which lets you rotate and reorder together.

Common questions

Why does my PDF viewer not save the rotation?

Most viewers only rotate the view on your screen. You need to save a new file, which this tool does.

Does rotating reduce quality?

No. The pages are turned, not redrawn, so quality stays the same.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Rotation happens in your browser.
