About the PDF Rotator

Sideways pages usually come from a scanner that fed a page the wrong way or a phone that guessed the orientation wrong. Reading them means tilting your head or rotating the view every time you open the file, and the rotation a PDF viewer applies is not saved — the next person to open it sees the same problem.

This tool writes the rotation into the file itself. It changes a single value in each page's metadata rather than redrawing anything, so it is completely lossless: no quality is lost, the text stays selectable, and a large scan is handled instantly regardless of size.

Rotation is cumulative, which is what you would expect from pressing a rotate button. A page already turned 90 degrees becomes 180 if you rotate it 90 again. You can rotate every page at once or only the ones that came out wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the rotation saved in the file?

Yes. Unlike rotating the view in a PDF reader, this writes the rotation into the document, so everyone who opens it sees the corrected orientation.

Does rotating reduce quality?

No. Only a rotation value in the page metadata changes — nothing is redrawn — so the result is identical in quality to the original.

What happens if a page is already rotated?

The rotation adds to what is already there, the same as pressing a rotate button twice. A page at 90 degrees becomes 180 if you rotate it another 90.

Can I rotate only some pages?

Yes. Choose "Only some pages" and list them, for example 2, 5-7.
