Tool guide
Rotate PDF Pages Online
Rotate all pages, one range, or selected PDF pages by 90, 180, or 270 degrees in your browser. Formatza applies the chosen rotation to the pages' existing orientation and creates a new PDF.
Steps
How it works
- Choose one PDF file.
- Select all pages, one range, or specific page numbers.
- Choose a 90, 180, or 270 degree rotation.
- Rotate the selected pages and download the new PDF.
Highlights
Key features
- Rotates all pages or a selected subset.
- Supports 90, 180, and 270 degree adjustments.
- Adds the chosen angle to each selected page's existing rotation.
- Copies unselected pages into the output without applying a new rotation.
- Creates a separate file with a -rotated.pdf name.
Use cases
Common uses
- Correct sideways pages in a scanned document.
- Rotate selected landscape or portrait pages.
- Fix a PDF's viewing orientation before sharing.
- Apply the same quarter-turn rotation to several pages.
Notes
Limitations to know
- There is no page preview, clockwise/counterclockwise toggle, arbitrary angle, or multi-file batch mode.
- Rotation changes page viewing orientation; it does not reflow content or create a new portrait or landscape layout.
- The tool does not deskew crooked scans and does not perform OCR.
- Bookmarks, links, forms, annotations, page labels, and metadata are not guaranteed to be preserved fully.
- Password-protected PDFs may fail, and saving a new file can invalidate digital signatures.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I rotate only selected PDF pages?
Yes. Choose one range or specific individual page numbers instead of all pages.
Which rotation angles are supported?
The available choices are 90, 180, and 270 degrees.
Can all pages be rotated together?
Yes. Select All pages before processing.
Does Rotate PDF deskew scanned pages?
No. It applies right-angle page rotation and does not detect or straighten small scan angles.
Does rotation change page dimensions?
The tool changes the page rotation setting rather than rebuilding content into new page dimensions.
Will digital signatures remain valid?
Do not assume so. Creating a modified PDF generally invalidates an existing digital signature.
