How to rotate a PDF 90 degrees
This tool turns every page of your PDF a quarter turn (90 degrees) clockwise. It is the fix for a scan that came out sideways. A portrait page becomes landscape, and a landscape page becomes portrait. If a page was already turned, the new turn is added to it, so a page turned once before ends up at 180 degrees. Pages are not redrawn, so text stays sharp and selectable and pictures keep their quality. Choose your file, and the new PDF downloads as rotated-90.pdf. If the pages need to turn more than once, run the new file through again. It also works on a PDF with mixed page sizes, since each page is turned on its own.
Nothing is uploaded. Rotating happens inside your browser, so your PDF never leaves your device. That makes it safe for private files such as contracts, statements, and scans. The result downloads as rotated-90.pdf, and your original file is not changed.
This tool is free. There is no account, no daily limit, and no watermark on the file you download. There is no page limit. Very large files depend on your device's memory, so a big scan may be slow on a phone.
If the pages turned the wrong way, run the file through again to turn it another quarter turn, or use Rotate PDF 180 degrees. If your PDF will not open, it may be password-protected. Unlock it first with Unlock PDF, then try again. To turn only some pages, use Organize PDF or the rotate-one-page tool. To make every page portrait or landscape, use the portrait or landscape tool.
How to use this tool
- Choose your file. It never leaves your device.

Common questions
Which way does the PDF turn?
Clockwise, a quarter turn at a time. Turn it once for 90 degrees. If you need a counterclockwise turn, run it three times, or use the 270 degree tool.
Is my PDF uploaded when I rotate it?
No. Your file stays on your device and is never uploaded. You get one new file named rotated-90.pdf, and your original is left untouched.
Will my text and pictures stay sharp after rotating a PDF?
Yes. Pages are turned, not redrawn, so nothing loses quality. You can still select and search the text, and your file size barely changes.
Is it free to rotate a PDF?
Yes, it's free. No account, no daily limit, no watermark.
