How to Rotate a PDF and Save It Permanently

Rotating a PDF in your viewer only changes your view – send it on and the pages are sideways again. Here’s how to fix the file itself.

Rotate and save in your browser

Open Rotate PDF, choose 90° clockwise, 180° or 90° anticlockwise, type the pages to rotate (or leave blank for all), and drop in the PDF. The corrected file downloads automatically.

Rotate only some pages

Scans often mix portrait and landscape pages. Enter just those pages, like 3, 7-9.

Free alternatives

Mac Preview: rotate pages in the thumbnail sidebar, then File > Save. Chrome's PDF viewer rotates only your view, so it won't fix the file.

Then shrink it

Scanned PDFs are often large – run them through Compress PDF afterwards.
