How to rotate a PDF

Add your PDF and use the rotate buttons to turn it a quarter turn right or left. Press twice to turn it upside down. Every page in that file is rotated by the same amount, and the preview shows the result before you download.

You can add several PDFs at once and turn each one separately, or turn them all together. The results come back in a ZIP file. A single PDF downloads as a PDF.

Why scans come out sideways

Phones and scanner apps guess which way is up from the camera angle. When you photograph a page lying flat, the guess is often wrong. The rotation is saved in the file, so the page looks sideways in every viewer, including the one used by the portal you upload to.

Rotating the file fixes it for every reader, not just on your own screen. Turning the view in your PDF viewer usually does not save anything.

What does not change

Rotation keeps the content of the page as it is. Text stays selectable, links keep working and the file size barely changes. The work is done in your browser and the file is not uploaded.

If only one page in a long document is sideways, split that page out, rotate it, and merge the pages back together in the right order.

Questions, answered

Can I rotate just one page?
This tool turns all pages in a file. To fix one page, split it out, rotate it, then merge the parts back together.
Which way do the rotate buttons turn the page?
Rotate right turns the pages a quarter turn clockwise and rotate left turns them anticlockwise. Two turns in either direction make 180 degrees.
Will rotating reduce the quality?
No. Rotation changes how the page is displayed. The content is not redrawn or recompressed.
Why did I get a ZIP file?
You rotated more than one PDF. They are bundled into one ZIP download so you get them all at once.
My PDF looked fine on my phone but sideways on the portal. Why?
Some viewers correct the view automatically and others do not. Rotating the file itself makes it display the same way everywhere.
