❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is this PDF rotator free?

Yes, TurnFile 360 PDF rotator is 100% free with no limits or signup required.

Do you store my PDF files?

No, your files never leave your browser. All rotation happens locally on your device.

What rotation options are available?

You can rotate pages 90° clockwise, 90° counter-clockwise, or 180° (flip).

Does rotation affect PDF quality?

No, rotation only changes page orientation metadata. Text, images, and formatting remain identical—no quality loss.

Can I rotate individual pages selectively?

This version rotates all pages uniformly. For selective page rotation, use advanced PDF editors or organize-pdf tool.

Why are my scanned pages sideways?

Scanners sometimes auto-detect orientation incorrectly. Use this tool to quickly fix sideways or upside-down scanned documents.

Does this work with portrait and landscape pages?

Yes, rotation works regardless of original orientation. Rotates both portrait and landscape pages by same degree.

Can I rotate protected/encrypted PDFs?

Password-protected PDFs cannot be rotated. Use unlock-pdf tool first to remove protection, then rotate.

About PDF Page Rotation Tool

PDF Page Rotation corrects page orientation errors caused by incorrect scanning, mobile photo uploads, or orientation metadata issues. Using pdf-lib's setRotation method, the tool rotates all pages by 90° clockwise, 90° counter-clockwise, or 180° without affecting content quality or file size. All processing occurs client-side in browser JavaScript runtime—no server uploads required for complete document privacy.

This utility serves anyone handling scanned documents, mobile-captured PDFs, or legacy files with orientation problems. Whether correcting upside-down invoices, sideways contracts, or rotated presentation slides, the tool delivers instant orientation fixes suitable for printing, screen reading, and digital archiving without Adobe Acrobat subscriptions.

Technical Capabilities

  • ▸Three Rotation Angles: 90° clockwise (right), 90° counter-clockwise (left), or 180° (flip upside-down). Visual preview icons show exact resulting orientation before processing.
  • ▸Orientation Metadata Update: pdf-lib's setRotation updates PDF page rotation metadata (90, 180, 270 degrees). Content remains untouched—only viewing orientation changes, preserving text selectability and searchability.
  • ▸Uniform Page Processing: Rotation applies to all pages uniformly. Efficient loop iterates through page collection calling setRotation on each. Suitable for documents where all pages need same correction.
  • ▸Zero Quality Loss: Rotation modifies metadata only—does not re-render, compress, or transcode page content. Images, text, vectors remain bit-identical to original. File size unchanged.
  • ▸Client-Side PDF Manipulation: pdf-lib loads, modifies, and saves PDF entirely in browser. No uploads to external servers. Complete privacy for confidential documents requiring orientation correction.
  • ▸Large File Support: Handles PDFs up to 100MB. Multi-page documents (hundreds of pages) process efficiently. Memory-efficient streaming prevents browser crashes on large files.
  • ▸Immediate Download: Rotated PDF generates within seconds. Automatic filename prefix ('rotated_') helps identify corrected versions. Blob download ensures file integrity without temp storage.

Professional Use Cases

Scanned Document Correction

Fix orientation when batch scanner auto-orientation fails. Common with invoices, receipts, and multi-page contracts scanned landscape but detected as portrait.

Mobile Photo PDF Orientation

Correct PDFs created from mobile camera photos where EXIF orientation metadata wasn't properly interpreted during PDF conversion.

Presentation Slide Alignment

Rotate presentation PDFs exported in wrong orientation. Common when converting PowerPoint landscape slides incorrectly saved as portrait PDFs.

Legacy Document Archive Cleanup

Fix orientation in old PDF archives where historical scanning equipment or conversion tools created incorrectly oriented files that need bulk correction.

Print-Ready Document Preparation

Ensure correct orientation before sending documents to commercial printers. Prevents costly reprints from sideways or upside-down pages in bound materials.

Digital Workflow Integration

Prep PDFs for document management systems, OCR processing, or automated workflows that require consistent orientation for text recognition accuracy.
