Reading it means tilting your head or twisting your laptop. Rotate PDF fixes the orientation so every page displays right side up. Upload your file and pick a rotation angle from 90, 180, 270, or negative 90 degrees, with 90 set as the default. If only certain pages are turned wrong, list which ones in the pages field; leave it blank and the rotation applies to the entire document instead. The rotation happens right in your browser, so the file never has to leave your device. The result is a PDF with every page facing the direction you chose. Check a preview after rotating a mixed batch, since a document scanned from different sources sometimes needs different angles on different pages, and running the tool twice with different page lists handles that. Rotation changes orientation only, not the order pages appear in or which pages exist, so if your pages also need reordering or a few need deleting, Organize PDF is the tool for that part of the cleanup. Once orientation and order both look right, the document is ready to share or print. ## How to use the Rotate PDF tool 1. Add your PDF file: drag & drop or click to browse. 2. Set your options: Rotation angle, Pages (blank = all). 3. Click “Process Rotate PDF” and download your result. ## Common questions ### Is Rotate PDF free? Yes.
