Fix the orientation of any PDF page in three simple steps — no software installation required.
Drag and drop your PDF file into the upload area, or click "Choose PDF File" to browse your device. The rotator accepts any standard PDF document regardless of page count, file size, or complexity. Once loaded, the tool generates thumbnail previews of every page so you can see the current orientation at a glance and identify which pages need to be rotated.
Click the rotate button on any individual page thumbnail to rotate that page 90 degrees clockwise. Click multiple times for 180 or 270 degree rotations. If you need to rotate the entire document at once, use the Rotate All buttons at the top to apply 90° CW, 90° CCW, or 180° rotation to every page simultaneously. The thumbnail previews update instantly so you can verify the orientation before downloading.
Once you are satisfied with the page orientations, click "Download Rotated PDF" to save the modified document to your device. The rotation is applied losslessly by updating the page rotation metadata — all text, images, fonts, and formatting are preserved exactly as they appear in the original. Your source file is never modified or altered in any way.
A faster, safer, and more intuitive way to fix PDF page orientation — built for everyone.
There is no premium tier, no usage cap, and no hidden paywall. ConvertKr's PDF rotator is free for everyone, whether you need to rotate a single page or fix the orientation of an entire document. We believe essential file tools should be accessible without a subscription or per-file charge.
Unlike most online PDF tools, your files never leave your device. All rotation happens locally in your browser using JavaScript and the pdf-lib library. There is no server upload, no temporary cloud storage, and no risk of your confidential documents being accessed by anyone else.
Rotate pages one at a time by clicking their thumbnails, or apply the same rotation to every page at once using the bulk controls. This flexibility covers every scenario — from fixing a single upside-down page in a scanned document to rotating an entire landscape PDF to portrait orientation.
Because everything runs in your browser using optimized JavaScript libraries, rotation is nearly instantaneous with no upload wait time. Thumbnail previews load quickly even for large documents, and the final rotated PDF is generated in seconds. There is no queue, no rate limiting, and no waiting for server resources.
Every rotated PDF you download is completely clean. ConvertKr never adds watermarks, branding, headers, footers, or any other modifications to your output files. The pages in your rotated PDF look exactly the same as they do in the original document, just with the correct orientation applied.
ConvertKr runs entirely in your web browser, so it works on smartphones and tablets just as well as on desktop computers. There is nothing to install — if your device has a modern browser with JavaScript enabled, you can rotate PDFs on the go. The interface is fully responsive and optimized for touch screens.
Everything you need to know about fixing page orientation in PDF documents.
Why Rotate a PDF? Incorrectly oriented pages are one of the most common PDF problems. Scanned documents frequently end up sideways or upside-down when the scanner feed pulls pages at the wrong angle. Photos taken with a phone camera and converted to PDF may have landscape orientation when you need portrait. Legal documents, architectural drawings, and spreadsheets are sometimes saved in landscape mode but need to be rotated for printing or filing. Rotating a PDF fixes these orientation issues so every page displays correctly in any viewer, prints properly on any printer, and looks professional when shared with colleagues, clients, or institutions.
Common Use Cases for PDF Rotation The most frequent use case is fixing scanned documents. When you scan a stack of papers, some pages inevitably come through rotated 90 or 180 degrees. Rather than re-scanning, you can upload the PDF and rotate just the affected pages. Another common scenario is converting between landscape and portrait orientation — for example, rotating a landscape spreadsheet to portrait for inclusion in a report, or vice versa. Photographers and designers often need to rotate PDF portfolios or proofs. Students and researchers rotate pages in academic papers or textbooks that were scanned at odd angles. Real estate agents rotate floor plans and property documents. In every case, the visual thumbnail preview makes it easy to identify which pages need adjustment and verify the result before downloading.
How PDF Rotation Works Technically PDF rotation in ConvertKr is a metadata operation, not a content transformation. Each page in a PDF document has a rotation property that tells viewers how to display the page content. When you rotate a page by 90 degrees, the tool updates this rotation property from 0 to 90 (or from 90 to 180, and so on). The actual page content — text, images, vector graphics, annotations, and form fields — remains completely untouched. This means rotation is a lossless operation with zero impact on quality, file size, or content fidelity. The pdf-lib library handles this modification efficiently, and because it only updates a small piece of metadata for each page, even large documents are processed in milliseconds.
Tips for Best Results When rotating scanned documents, check every page thumbnail before downloading — it is common for a few pages in a batch to be rotated differently from the rest. Use the individual page rotate buttons for mixed-orientation documents and the Rotate All buttons when every page needs the same correction. If you make a mistake, simply click the rotate button again to cycle through 90, 180, 270, and back to 0 degrees. Remember that the rotation is cumulative — if a page was already rotated 90 degrees in the original PDF, adding another 90 degrees will result in a total of 180 degrees. The thumbnail preview always shows the final result accurately, so trust what you see on screen.
Everything you need to know about rotating PDFs with ConvertKr.
Yes. Each page thumbnail has its own rotate button that rotates that page 90 degrees clockwise per click. Click once for 90°, twice for 180°, three times for 270°, and four times to return to the original orientation. This lets you fix individual pages without affecting the rest of the document.
ConvertKr supports 90° clockwise, 90° counter-clockwise, and 180° rotations via the Rotate All buttons. Individual page thumbnails rotate 90° clockwise per click. By clicking multiple times, you can achieve any standard rotation angle: 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°. These four orientations cover every possible page direction.
No. Rotation is a completely lossless operation. The tool updates the page rotation metadata in the PDF without re-rendering, re-compressing, or modifying the actual page content. All text remains searchable and selectable. All images retain their original resolution. Fonts, vector graphics, annotations, form fields, and hyperlinks are preserved exactly as they appear in the source document.
Absolutely. All PDF processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript and the pdf-lib library. Your files are never uploaded to any server, and we cannot see, access, or store your documents. Once you close the browser tab, all data is gone. This makes ConvertKr safe for confidential documents, legal files, financial records, and personal information.
Yes. For individual pages, simply click the rotate button again to cycle through orientations (0° → 90° → 180° → 270° → 0°). For bulk rotations, you can apply the opposite rotation — for example, if you rotated all pages 90° CW, apply a 90° CCW rotation to undo it. You can also click Reset to start over from scratch with the original file.
Yes. ConvertKr runs entirely in your web browser, so it works on smartphones and tablets just as well as on desktop computers. There is nothing to install — if your device has a modern browser with JavaScript enabled, you can rotate PDFs on the go. The interface is fully responsive and optimized for touch screens on iOS and Android.
ConvertKr does not impose any artificial file size or page count limits. Since all processing runs locally in your browser, the practical ceiling depends on your device's available RAM and processing power. Most modern computers and phones handle PDFs with several hundred pages and file sizes up to 100 MB without any issues. Very large files may take slightly longer to generate thumbnails.
Yes. The rotation is applied using the standard PDF page rotation property that all compliant PDF viewers support. Your rotated document will display correctly in Adobe Acrobat, Preview (macOS), Chrome's built-in PDF viewer, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and any other standards-compliant PDF reader on any operating system.
