| Applied as | The chosen angles are applied to each page on save |
💡 Straightening misoriented PDF pages
Pages scanned upside down or sideways can be straightened for reading with a single rotation, then saved.
- 🔄 Per-page rotation: Rotate each page individually with its ⟳ button in the preview.
- ↩️ Rotate all at once: If the whole document is sideways, fix it in one go with the 90° bulk rotation.
- 🔒 Browser-only processing: Files are never uploaded to a server — rotation happens only in your browser.
📌 Where is rotating a PDF useful?
- Fixing an upside-down scan — correct pages a scanner picked up in the wrong orientation.
- Straightening landscape pages — rotate just the tables or diagrams that were scanned sideways.
- Cleaning up phone photos — align pages photographed in mixed orientations into one consistent direction.
- Matching a print orientation — make sure every page faces the same way before sending to a printer.
✨ How to rotate pages individually
- If pages face different directions, use each thumbnail's ⟳ button to rotate it on its own.
- If the whole document is sideways in the same direction, "Rotate All 90°" fixes it in one click.
- Click 90° repeatedly to step through 180° and 270° in order.
🔒 Can I still search and copy text after rotating?
Yes. Rotating only changes a page's display orientation (its metadata) — the underlying text and images are untouched. Text stays selectable, searchable and copyable exactly as before.
