Free Rotate PDF: Turn Pages and Save Them That Way

Last updated By Avalon

Turn sideways or upside-down PDF pages, one page or all of them, and save the PDF so it opens the right way up everywhere.

        Your files never leave your device. Everything is processed in your browser, so nothing is uploaded to a server.

        What this tool does

        To rotate a PDF for free, drop it above, turn the pages that are sideways or upside down and press Save PDF: the new PDF opens the right way up in every reader, with no sign-up and no watermark. You can turn a single page, or every page at once with Rotate all.

        How to use it

        1. Drop a PDF into the box above, or click it to choose one. A preview of every page appears.
        2. Press ↻ to turn a page a quarter turn to the right, or ↺ to the left. Press it twice for upside-down pages.
        3. To turn every page, use ↻ Rotate all or ↺ Rotate all.
        4. Press Save PDF, then Download.

        Which button to press

        The page looks like thisPress
        Lying on its right side (text reads from top to bottom)↺ once
        Lying on its left side (text reads from bottom to top)↻ once
        Upside down↻ twice
        Every page is sideways the same way↻ Rotate all or ↺ Rotate all

        Tips

        • Pages in the wrong order as well? Drag them into place on the same screen, or use our free organize PDF tool, which does the same and more.
        • Want to drop some pages too? Press × under them before saving, or use our free delete PDF pages tool.
        • File too large to send after a scan? Shrink it with our free compress PDF tool.

        Frequently asked questions

        How do I rotate a PDF for free?

        Drop the PDF above, press ↻ or ↺ under each sideways page, or Rotate all for every page, then press Save PDF. You get a new PDF with the pages turned, with no sign-up and no watermark.

        Can I rotate just one page?

        Yes. Every page has its own turn buttons, so you can fix the one scanned page that came out sideways and leave the rest as they are.

        Will the rotation stay when I open the PDF somewhere else?

        Yes. The new direction is written into the PDF file itself, so it opens the right way up in every PDF reader, browser and phone, and when you print it.

        Does rotating lower the quality?

        No. Pages are copied as they are and only the direction they are shown in changes, so text stays sharp and searchable and pictures are not compressed again.

        Are my PDFs uploaded anywhere?

        No. The page previews are drawn and the new PDF is saved inside your browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to our servers.

        Can I rotate a locked PDF?

        Not directly. Remove the password first with our free unlock PDF tool, then rotate the unlocked copy.

        Are there limits?

        The free version rotates one PDF of up to 100 MB at a time, with every page option. Avalon Pro takes up to 500 PDFs (500 MB) in one go and adds page numbers, a ZIP download, saved presets and your own file names.
