How PDF page rotation works

PDF page rotation changes the viewing orientation of selected pages.
The tool applies a rotation value to selected pages while keeping page order intact.
Page content is usually preserved while the page view changes.
Unselected pages remain unchanged in the exported PDF.
The edited output is saved as a new PDF file.
Mixed-size and mixed-orientation PDFs can be rotated page by page.

Rotation angles, page ranges, and orientation explained

90° clockwise rotates a page to the right.
90° counterclockwise rotates a page to the left.
180° flips a page upside down.
270° is equivalent to 90° counterclockwise.
Page ranges let you rotate only specific pages.
Odd or even page rotation is useful for some two-sided scanned documents.

Scanned documents, mixed orientation, and compatibility notes

Scanned PDFs often contain pages turned sideways or upside down.
Mixed orientation documents may include portrait and landscape pages together.
Rotating selected pages is safer when only some pages are wrong.
Editing may invalidate digital signatures.
Encrypted PDFs may not be editable in the browser.
Forms, annotations, layers, bookmarks, or metadata may behave differently after editing.

Privacy and local processing notes

This implementation uses browser-side PDF editing with pdf-lib. The selected PDF is processed locally on your device, no account is required, and the rotated file is generated locally for download. Avoid selecting sensitive PDFs unless you trust the device and browser, and keep the original file before saving edits.
