Rotate PDF by Degree

How to Rotate a PDF by Any Angle

1. Drop your PDF onto the tool, or click Choose PDF File to browse for it.
2. Set the Rotation Angle. Drag the slider, type a number from 0 to 360, or tap a preset: 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 180° or 270°. The angle turns the page clockwise.
3. Choose Apply To. All Pages, First Page Only, or All Pages Except First.
4. Pick an Output Quality. It only applies to angles other than 90°, 180° and 270°. High (Best Quality), Medium (Balanced) or Low (Smaller File).
5. Click Rotate PDF. The thumbnails show the original pages, so the rotation appears in the file you download.
6. Click Download Rotated PDF. The file is named after your original, with the angle added, such as report_rotated_90deg.pdf.

Why Use This Rotate PDF Tool

• Your file stays on your device. Pages are rotated by your browser, and the new PDF is built there too.
• Any angle from 0 to 360. Flip a sideways scan with 90°, or straighten a crooked one with a few degrees.
• Rotate all pages or just some. Apply the angle to every page, to the first page only, or to everything except the first page.
• Lossless quarter turns. 90°, 180° and 270° only change the page's orientation, so text stays selectable and nothing is recompressed.
• Untouched pages stay untouched. Pages you don't rotate are copied into the new PDF as they are.
• Room for real documents. Each PDF can be as large as your plan allows; the limit is shown on this page.

Good to know: turns of 90°, 180° and 270° keep your text, links and quality exactly as they were, and the file size stays about the same. Any other angle redraws the rotated page as an image, so its text can no longer be selected or searched, and Output Quality sets the sharpness. Those angles also leave white corners and make the page slightly larger. You can only pick the three Apply To options, not individual pages. An angle of 0 or 360 changes nothing.

FAQ

How do I rotate a PDF by a custom angle?

Open the file, set the Rotation Angle with the slider, the number box or a preset, then click Rotate PDF and download the result. Any whole number from 0 to 360 works.

Can I rotate just one page?

Only in a limited way. Apply To offers All Pages, First Page Only and All Pages Except First. There is no option to pick a page from the middle of the document.

Will I still be able to select text after rotating?

Yes for 90°, 180° and 270°: those turns keep the text selectable and the quality unchanged. For any other angle the rotated pages are redrawn as images, so their text becomes part of the picture. Pages you leave unrotated keep their text as it was.

Which direction does the angle turn the page?

Clockwise. A 90° rotation turns the top of the page to the right, and 270° turns it to the left.

Why do my rotated pages have white corners?

When you rotate by something other than 90, 180 or 270 degrees, the tilted page no longer fits its old frame. The tool makes the page larger and fills the empty corners with white.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. Your file stays on your device. The rotation runs in your browser and the new PDF is created there.
