Rotate selected or all pages of a PDF without re-encoding.
Updated
One PDF at a time. Pages are rotated without re-encoding.
Quick start
Rotate selected or all pages of a PDF by 90°, 180° or 270° — locally, with no quality loss.
Drag your PDF onto the drop zone, click to choose it, or paste from the clipboard. The file stays on your device.
Choose 90°, 180° or 270° clockwise, and decide whether to rotate every page or just a specific range like 1-3,5,7-9.
Hit Rotate. The new file is built locally and offered as <name>-rotated.pdf — no signup, no upload, no server-side copy.
In-depth guide
This tool rotates one or more pages of a PDF document by 90°, 180° or 270° clockwise. The rotation is stored as page metadata, not by re-rendering the content, so quality is preserved exactly and file size barely changes. Everything runs locally in your browser — your PDF is never uploaded.
Browser-based rotation is the right tool when:
The three rotation options are clockwise. Pick whichever takes the shortest path:
If your starting orientation is unpredictable, try 90° first and click Rotate again until the page lands the right way up.
Pick Selected pages to apply the rotation to a subset of pages. Enter a comma-separated list of pages or ranges:
1 — only the first page.1,3,5 — pages 1, 3 and 5.2-6 — every page from 2 to 6 inclusive.1-3,5,7-9 — mix of ranges and singletons.Pages outside your selection are kept exactly as they were.
Every byte of the work happens in a Web Worker on your machine. No copy of your PDF is sent anywhere, the file is dropped from memory the moment you close the tab, and nothing is logged. Open DevTools → Network while rotating: you'll see zero outbound requests for your file.
For password-protected PDFs, decrypt the file first with your PDF reader (Save as → no password) — encrypted files cannot be saved by pdf-lib.
No. Rotation runs 100% inside your browser using a Web Worker. The file never leaves your device — open DevTools → Network while rotating to verify yourself.
No. This tool changes the page-rotation metadata only — page content (text, vectors, embedded images) is copied byte-for-byte, so visual quality is identical to the original.
Output size is essentially identical to the input (within a few hundred bytes). The rotation flag is a small dictionary value — no re-rendering happens.
Yes. Pick "Selected pages" and enter a range like 1-3,5,7-9. The chosen pages get the rotation; the rest are left untouched.
Each rotation adds to the page's existing angle. If a page is already at 90°, a further 90° rotation lands it at 180°. The tool handles wrap-around at 360° automatically.
Decrypt the file first in your PDF reader (save a copy without a password), then rotate it. The tool can read encrypted files for the page count but cannot save rotations into them.
No. Any structural change to a signed PDF invalidates its signatures — rotate, then re-sign the resulting file if you need signed output.
