    About this converter

    Scanners produce sideways pages constantly, usually when one sheet went through the feeder the wrong way round. Most PDF readers will turn the page on screen, but they will not save it that way — reopen the file and it is sideways again.

    This writes the rotation into the document, so it stays fixed for everyone who opens it afterwards. Leave the page box empty to turn the whole document, or list just the pages that came out wrong.

    Turns are added to whatever the page already had, so a page that was already rotated ends up where you expect rather than snapping back to upright.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why does my PDF reader forget the rotation?

    Because viewing a page rotated and saving it rotated are different things. Free readers usually offer only the first. This does the second.

    Can I turn just one page?

    Yes — put its number in the box. You can list several, and use ranges like 4-6.

    Do my PDFs get sent anywhere?

    No. Everything happens on your own device, so your documents never leave it. That matters more than usual for PDFs, which tend to be contracts, statements and scans.

    Does it work with password-protected files?

    Not yet. A protected PDF has to be unlocked with its password first.
