PDFcraft's free PDF rotation tool fixes sideways and upside down PDF pages instantly in your browser. Rotate all pages or specific pages by 90°, 180°, or 270° — no sign up, no uploads, completely private.

What does the Rotate PDF tool do?

The free rotate PDF tool changes the orientation of PDF pages by updating the rotation metadata inside the file. This permanently fixes how pages display in any PDF viewer — not just a temporary display fix. Scanned documents that come out sideways, PDFs exported in wrong orientation, and mixed-orientation documents are all fixed in seconds. Processing runs locally in your browser — your files never get sent anywhere.
