Privacy: how this tool handles your file

When you use Rotate PDF, your browser reads your file on your device and the tool's code does the work in this tab. PageYak's server only sends the page and its code. It never receives your file, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.

How PageYak works explains this in more detail.

Why saving the rotation matters

Most PDF viewers can turn a page on screen, but they forget it when you close the file or send it on. Rotating here changes the page direction stored in the PDF, so it opens the right way up for everyone, on every device and printer.

Common reasons to rotate a PDF

  • Scans that came out sideways or upside down from a phone scanner app or office copier.
  • Landscape pages, such as tables and charts, mixed into a portrait document.
  • Forms you need to read on screen before printing or signing them.

Questions

Can I rotate just one page?

Yes. Turn only the pages you want. The other pages stay as they are.

Does rotating lower the quality?

No. The page content is not redrawn. The PDF only records a new direction for each page you turned.

My scan is upside down. Which way do I turn it?

Turn it twice in either direction. That is 180 degrees, which puts it the right way up.

Can I rotate a PDF on my phone?

Yes. Tap each page you want to turn, then tap Rotate PDF. It works in Chrome on Android and Safari on iPhone.

Will rotating change how the PDF prints?

Yes, the rotation is saved in the file, so it prints and opens the right way in every PDF reader.

Can I rotate all pages at once?

Yes. Turn every page together, or pick only the pages that are the wrong way round.
