Mobile Photos to PDF

When creating PDFs from phone photos, images often need rotation. Fix orientation before sharing or printing.

Architectural Plans

Large-format PDFs often need 90° rotation for proper viewing on screens or standard printers.

Ebook Reading

Rotate PDF ebooks to landscape mode for better tablet reading or dual-page viewing.

Privacy & Security Guarantee

We take your document security seriously. Unlike many online PDF tools, our rotation tool operates entirely within your browser using JavaScript. This means:

No file uploads: Your PDF never leaves your computer during processing
No server storage: We don’t store copies of your documents
No tracking: We don’t log which files you process
End-to-end privacy: All processing happens locally on your device

The tool uses established libraries (PDF.js and PDF-lib) that have been thoroughly vetted by the developer community for security and reliability.

Advanced PDF Rotation Techniques

Partial rotation: Rotate only specific page ranges by selecting them before applying rotation
Combined rotations: Some pages may need multiple 90° rotations for correct alignment
Metadata preservation: Our tool maintains all original PDF metadata including bookmarks and links
Batch processing: For multiple files, use browser tabs to process several PDFs simultaneously
Print preparation: Rotate pages to match your printer’s paper orientation requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my PDF file secure when using this tool?

Absolutely! All processing happens directly in your browser. Your PDF never leaves your computer or gets uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

What’s the maximum file size I can rotate?

There’s no strict limit, but very large PDFs (100+ pages) may take longer to process depending on your device’s capabilities. For best performance, we recommend files under 50MB.

Can I rotate multiple PDFs at once?

Currently, our tool processes one PDF at a time. For multiple files, you’ll need to rotate them individually to ensure precise control over each document.

Will rotating affect my PDF’s quality?

No quality loss occurs. We modify the PDF’s metadata rather than re-rendering the content, preserving the original quality of text and images.

What if my rotated pages look wrong in the preview?

The preview shows approximate results. If the final download doesn’t match expectations, try rotating in the opposite direction or contact us for assistance.

Troubleshooting Guide

PDF won’t load

Solution: Try a different browser or ensure the file isn’t password protected. Corrupted PDFs may need repair first.

Rotation not saving

Solution: Make sure to click “Create PDF” after rotating and before downloading. Check browser console for errors.

Blank preview pages

Solution: Some PDFs use special encoding. Try the “Rotate All” function or a different file.

Slow performance

Solution: For large PDFs, close other tabs and applications to free up system resources.
