The PDF Rotate tool lets you fix page orientation problems in seconds. Whether you have a scanned document that came out sideways, phone photos saved in the wrong direction, or a multi-page PDF with mixed landscape and portrait pages, this tool gives you complete control over page rotation.
Unlike other PDF rotation tools that require you to upload files to a server, PDFGadget processes everything locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your documents never leave your device, which means your sensitive files stay private. This is especially important when working with contracts, financial documents, medical records, or any PDF containing personal information.
The rotation is handled entirely by JavaScript running in your browser. This ensures fast processing while maintaining full document fidelity. Text, images, annotations, and formatting all stay exactly as they were — just rotated to the correct orientation.
People rotate PDFs for many reasons. Scanned documents often come out sideways or upside down, especially when using automatic document feeders. Photos taken on phones sometimes save with incorrect orientation metadata, appearing rotated when converted to PDF. Architects, engineers, and designers frequently work with landscape drawings embedded in portrait documents. And sometimes you simply receive a PDF from someone else where certain pages need to be flipped to read properly.
After rotating your pages, you might want to use our other tools to further edit your document. The Reorder Pages tool lets you rearrange page order by dragging and dropping. The Split PDF tool can separate your document into multiple files. And the Compress PDF tool reduces file size for easier sharing.
Speed and privacy set PDFGadget apart. Because rotation happens on your device, there is no upload time, no waiting for server processing, and no download delay. A 50-page PDF rotates in about one second. And since your file never touches our servers, there is zero risk of your document being stored, accessed, or leaked.
The tool works on any device with a modern browser. Use it on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, iPhone, iPad, or Android. No software to install, no account to create, and no payment required.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server when I rotate it?
No. All rotation happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your file stays completely private and is never uploaded to any server.
Can I rotate only specific pages in my PDF?
Yes. You can click to select individual pages to rotate while leaving the others unchanged. You can also use Select All to rotate every page at once.
Will rotating pages affect the content or formatting?
No. Only the orientation of the selected pages changes. Text, images, and layout remain exactly the same.
What rotation angles are supported?
You can rotate pages by 90 degrees clockwise, 90 degrees counter-clockwise, or 180 degrees to flip them upside down.
Does this tool work on mobile devices?
Yes. The tool works on phones and tablets using Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or any modern browser. Just tap pages to select them.
Can I rotate a PDF and then make other edits?
Yes. After rotating, you can download your PDF and then use other PDFGadget tools to merge, compress, split, or further edit your document.
Is there a file size limit?
Since processing happens in your browser, the limit depends on your device's memory. Most devices handle PDFs up to 100MB without issues. Larger files may be slower on older devices.
Why would I need to rotate PDF pages?
Common reasons include fixing scanned documents that came out sideways, correcting phone photos saved in the wrong orientation, adjusting landscape pages in a portrait document, and preparing files for printing.
