Frequently asked questions
Why does my PDF keep going back to sideways?
Rotating in a PDF viewer only changes your view — it isn't saved in the file. This tool writes the rotation into the PDF itself, so it stays correct for everyone.
Can I rotate just one page?
This tool rotates all pages, which suits scans done at the wrong orientation. To rotate one page, first extract it with our Split PDF tool, rotate it, then merge it back.
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. Rotation only changes a page setting — the content isn't re-compressed or altered.
Which direction is 90° clockwise?
The top of the page turns to the right. If your text runs bottom-to-top, choose 90° clockwise; top-to-bottom, choose 90° anti-clockwise.
