How to Rotate PDF Pages That Scanned Sideways

Scanners and phone cameras have a habit of capturing the odd page sideways or upside-down. Reading it means tilting your head — and it looks careless when you pass it on. Rotating is a two-click fix.

Rotate in three steps

1. Open Rotate PDF and load your file — you'll see a preview of every page.
2. Use Rotate all for a document that's uniformly wrong, or the rotate button on any single page.
3. Click Apply & download.

Rotation only changes each page's orientation flag — the content is untouched, so there's no quality loss at all.

Common fixes

• A landscape scan that came in portrait.
• One upside-down page in an otherwise fine document.
• Photos of a document taken at the wrong angle.

Tip: If a page is also in the wrong place, fix the order in Organize PDF after rotating.
