What is Rotate PDF and how does it work?

Rotate PDF turns pages that are the wrong way up and saves the rotation into the file. Unlike simply turning the view in your PDF reader, this means the document opens the right way round for everyone.

How do I use Rotate PDF online?

Upload your file using the box above — drag it in, browse for it, or bring it in from your cloud storage. A preview appears so you can check you've picked the right file. Run Rotate PDF, then download the result. You can rename it before you save it.

Is my file secure when I use Rotate PDF?

Yes. The file you send to Rotate PDF travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection and is processed automatically on our servers. It is never made public, never shared with anyone, and nobody reads it.

Does HuntPDF store my files after Rotate PDF has run?

No. Your upload is deleted the moment Rotate PDF finishes with it, and the file it produces is removed as soon as you have downloaded it, or when you upload another file, or when you close the page. Nothing is kept, and nothing is used to train anything.

Will the original quality and formatting be maintained?

Yes. Rotating changes only the page orientation stored in the file — nothing is re-rendered and no quality is lost.

Can I use Rotate PDF on mobile?

Yes. Rotate PDF works in any modern browser on phones and tablets — iPhone, iPad or Android — with nothing to install. You can upload straight from your device or from your cloud storage.

Can I rename my file before downloading it from Rotate PDF?

Yes. The file Rotate PDF gives you back keeps the name of the file you uploaded by default. If you'd rather call it something else, edit the name in the field next to the download button before you save it.

Do I need to install any software to use Rotate PDF?

No. There is nothing to download, install or sign up for — Rotate PDF is used from your browser and does the work on our servers, so it behaves the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

How long does Rotate PDF take?

Most files are finished in a few seconds. A large or page-heavy file takes a little longer, because Rotate PDF runs on our servers rather than on your device — but you won't be waiting around. You can upload files up to 250MB.

Is Rotate PDF free to use?

Yes. Rotate PDF is free, with no signup, no watermark on the result and no daily limit for normal use.

Can I rotate just one page in a PDF?

Yes. Click that page's thumbnail and rotate it, or use the small rotate button on the page itself. The other pages stay as they are.

How do I rotate every page of a PDF at once?

Make sure no pages are selected, then press rotate left or rotate right. The whole document turns 90 degrees with each press.

Does Rotate PDF save the change permanently?

Yes. The new orientation is stored in the downloaded file, not just in your view, so it opens and prints the same way on any device.

Can Rotate PDF fix a page that is slightly crooked?

No, it turns pages in 90-degree steps. For scans that are a few degrees off, Deskew PDF measures each page and straightens only the tilted ones.

How do I fix a double-sided scan where every second page is upside down?

Click each upside-down page to select it, then rotate twice to turn them 180 degrees.

Can I rotate pages on my phone?

Yes. Tap the pages to select them and use the same rotate buttons. Large thumbnails help on a small screen.

Rotate PDF turns sideways or upside-down pages the right way up and saves the change into the file, so the next person who opens it doesn't have to tilt their head. Phone scans of receipts and pages the office scanner flipped are the usual culprits.

How to rotate PDF pages

Drop your PDF on the page, or choose it from your device, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive (up to 260 MB). Every page appears as a thumbnail. Click the pages that need turning, then press rotate left or rotate right; each press turns them 90 degrees. If nothing is selected, the buttons turn every page at once. When it looks right, press Save rotated PDF, then download it or send it to Merge PDF with Continue with this file.

Rotate PDF for mixed and scanned documents

Scanned batches are where this saves the most time. If every other page of a double-sided scan came out upside down, select those pages and rotate them twice. In a finance pack with one landscape table, turn just that page. A large preview of any page helps you check which way the text runs.

Fixing orientation for good

Rotating the view in a reader only lasts until you close the file. Rotate PDF writes the new orientation into the PDF itself, so it opens correctly for everyone and prints the right way round. If a page is only slightly tilted, as scans often are, 90-degree steps won't help; Deskew PDF straightens pages scanned at an angle.
