Frequently asked questions
Everything worth knowing before you rotate your first PDF.
How do I rotate all pages in a PDF?
Drop your PDF in, click the global rotate-all button (90° / 180° / 270°), then save. Every page rotates uniformly and the new orientation is permanent in the output file.
Can I rotate just one page?
Yes. Click the rotate handle on any individual thumbnail to spin only that page. Mix portrait and landscape orientations freely in the same document.
Will the rotation stick when others open the PDF?
Yes. The rotation is permanently written into the PDF page tree, not stored as a view metadata flag. Every PDF reader (Acrobat, Preview, browser viewers, mobile apps) will display the rotated orientation.
Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?
No. Rotation runs entirely in your browser. Your documents never leave your device.
Will text and layout survive rotation?
Yes. Text remains selectable, hyperlinks remain clickable, and the page layout adapts to the new orientation. Rotation only changes the page's display angle, not its content.
Can I rotate a password-protected PDF?
Unlock it first using the Unlock PDF tool (you must know the password), then rotate the unlocked copy.
Why does my scanned PDF have sideways pages?
Most document scanners don't auto-detect orientation. Drop the scan into the rotator, fix the misaligned pages individually (or rotate-all if every page is sideways), then save.
Is there a page count or file size limit?
No fixed cap. PDFs of any length and several hundred MB rotate successfully. The practical ceiling is your browser's RAM.
