Rotate a PDF and save it permanently
Rotate pages and bake the new orientation into the downloaded file — not a temporary on-screen turn that resets when you reopen it. Everything runs locally in your browser — your file is never uploaded to a server.

Some viewers let you spin a page on screen, but the file snaps back when you reopen it. This tool writes the rotation into the PDF itself, so the corrected orientation sticks everywhere you open it — email, print, phone or another computer.
Like all our tools, it runs in your browser with no upload, so even private scans stay on your device.

Questions, answered
Q.Why does my PDF reset its rotation when I reopen it?
Because the viewer only rotated the on-screen view, not the file. This tool saves the rotation into the document so it's permanent.
Q.Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Every operation runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so your files never leave your device. Open your browser's Network tab and watch — nothing is sent or stored.
Q.Is it free? Do I need an account or to install anything?
It's completely free with no sign-up, no email and nothing to install. There are no daily limits and no watermarks on your output.
Q.Does it work on Mac, Windows, Chromebook and phones?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari — on Windows, macOS, Linux, Chromebook, iPhone and Android. There is nothing to download.
