Fix sideways or upside-down scans permanently. Rotate every page at once or only the ones that need it, then save: the rotation is stored in the PDF, so it opens the right way everywhere.

## How to use it

1. Drop the PDF.
2. Press All left, All right or All 180°, or rotate single pages with the arrows under each thumbnail.
3. Press Apply and save, then download.

## Details

- **How:** Sets each page's /Rotate value, so nothing is re-compressed and quality is unchanged
- **Kept:** Text, images, links, bookmarks and file size (within a few bytes)
- **Engine:** pdf-lib, downloaded once and run in this tab. Text, links and bookmarks are kept

## Questions

### Are my files uploaded?

No. The page loads its code once, then reads and processes your files inside the browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server; you can confirm it in your browser's network panel while a file is processed.

### Why does my PDF open rotated even after I rotated it in the viewer?

Most viewers rotate only the view. This tool changes the file itself, so the pages open the right way in every app.

### Does rotating reduce quality?

No. The page content is untouched; only the page's rotation setting changes.

### Can I also reorder or delete pages?

Use Organize PDF, which rotates, reorders and removes pages in one go.
