Permanently Rotate PDF Pages

Scanned a document upside down? Or have a file with a mix of portrait and landscape pages that are hard to read? PlatinumPDF Rotate PDF is the simple solution. Unlike simple PDF viewers that only rotate the "view" temporarily, our tool permanently saves the rotation orientation to the file. This means when you share or print the PDF later, every page will be facing the right way. Rotate the entire document at once, or cherry-pick specific pages to fix.

Powerful Features

3 Rotation Angles

Rotate pages 90° Clockwise, 180° (Upside Down), or 90° Counter-Clockwise (270°) to fix any orientation.

Bulk Rotation

Apply a rotation to the entire document instantly. Perfect for fixing a stack of pages scanned upside down.

Individual Page Control

Select specific pages to rotate while leaving others alone. Great for mixing portrait and landscape documents.

Permanent Fix

The downloads are saved with the new orientation permanently, compatible with any PDF reader.

100% Private

Rotation happens locally in your browser. We don't see, read, or upload your documents to a server.

Visual Preview

See thumbnails of every page so you can instantly verify which ones need rotating before saving.

Real-World Scenarios

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the rotation permanent?

Yes. Unlike simply rotating the view in Adobe Reader, our tool re-writes the file structure so the pages stay rotated when you email, print, or open them anywhere else.

Can I rotate just one page?

Absolutely. Click on the specific page thumbnail to select it, then apply the rotation. The rest of the document will stay untouched.

Can I rotate pages left and right?

Yes, you can rotate 90 degrees clockwise (right) or counter-clockwise (left/270 degrees) to get the exact orientation you need.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Rotation is performed using WebAssembly technology directly in your browser. Your file stays on your device.

Will this reduce file quality?

No. Rotation is a lossless operation. It simply changes the 'viewing angle' metadata for the page without altering the content quality.
