Will rotation reduce quality?

No — it is written to page metadata. The file stays a normal text-based PDF with no re-rendering.

Rotate only some pages?

Yes — use the per-thumbnail buttons for individual pages; global buttons rotate all.

Why does it already look rotated somewhere?

Some viewers honor stored rotation inconsistently. This sets it explicitly so it is consistent everywhere.

No — pdf-lib rotates locally.

About This Tool

Fix sideways or upside-down PDF pages without installing software. Rotate every page at once, or rotate individual pages independently via the thumbnail grid, then download a new PDF with the rotation baked in. Rotation is written to page metadata, so it is lossless and honored by every viewer.

A live thumbnail preview shows how each page will look before you download. Covers sideways scans, landscape pages that should be portrait, and single misoriented pages.

**How Rotation Works**

Each page carries a rotation value (0/90/180/270) that tells viewers how to display it. pdf-lib writes this directly, so file size and quality are unchanged — only orientation. Your PDF is processed locally and never uploaded.
