Rotate PDF — Turn Pages 90/180/270° in Your Browser
ImageRotate PDF is a browser-based PDF tool that changes the rotation value of all pages, or only the pages you specify, by 90, 180, or 270 degrees and saves a new PDF.
What is it
Rotate PDF is used to fix documents scanned sideways or upside down. Pick an angle (90/180/270°); leave the page input empty to rotate every page, or enter "1, 3-5" to rotate only those pages. Rotation only updates the page rotation attribute (/Rotate), so the content is not recompressed — it is a lossless operation. Any existing rotation is added to. Files up to 50MB are supported and encrypted PDFs are not.
How to use

FAQ
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. File selection, rotation, and download creation all run in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
Does rotating reduce quality?
No. Only the page rotation attribute is changed while the content stays untouched, so the operation is lossless.
Can I rotate only specific pages?
Yes. Enter comma-separated pages or ranges such as "1, 3-5" and only those pages are rotated; the rest stay as they are.
Can I rotate password-protected PDFs?
No. Encrypted PDFs are not supported. Remove the password first, then rotate the unlocked file.
