Rotate PDF — fix orientation before you upload

How to rotate a PDF

1. Add your PDF — drag it in or browse from your device.
2. Pick an angle — choose 90° clockwise, 180°, or 270° (90° counter-clockwise).
3. Apply & download — every page rotates together; save the corrected file.

Typical workflows

• Sideways phone scans — rotate before Merge PDF or portal upload.
• Government & exam forms — portals and reviewers reject unreadable orientation; fix before upload.
• ID proof & address proof — combine with JPG to PDF when photos were taken in portrait.
• Mixed batches — rotate each source file, then merge in order.

Common mistakes (and fixes)

Mistake	Fix
Uploaded landscape scan of a portrait form	Rotate 90° or 270°, then re-upload
Upside-down flatbed scan	Rotate 180°
Some pages correct, some sideways	Split PDF → rotate each part → Merge PDF
Rotated but file too large	Rotate → Compress PDF

Why rotate locally?

Rotating is a lightweight change, but uploading to unknown servers still exposes document content. Bodhixt applies rotation with pdf-lib in a Web Worker on your machine — fast, free, and private. No account, no watermark.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rotate only one page? This tool rotates all pages by the same angle. For mixed orientations, split the PDF, rotate each part, then merge.

Will rotation change file size much? Usually not — page dimensions may swap (portrait ↔ landscape) but content is not recompressed.

Does it work on encrypted PDFs? Password-protected files must be unlocked first via Remove PDF password.

Can I rotate after merging? Yes — merge first if order matters, then rotate the combined PDF.

Does rotation affect OCR or text selection? No — rotation only changes page orientation; embedded text and images move with the page.
