Rotate runs in your browser so we do not host every PDF. Your file is not uploaded by default.
Drop a PDF or use the file picker. The rotate engine loads after you choose a file, not when the page first opens. Encrypted PDFs fail with a clear error; unlock them on Unlock PDF first.
Type the pages to rotate, such as 1-3, 5, or all. Leave the field blank to rotate every page. Choose left or right, then 90, 180, or 270 degrees. This page is a form: it does not show page cards.
Processing runs in a Web Worker on this device after you press Rotate. We keep that work local so we do not pay to rotate every upload on our servers. By default the PDF is not uploaded. Save rotated.pdf when it is ready. Each run adds to the current page rotation.
By default, no. Rotate runs in your browser so we do not host or rotate every PDF on our servers. Open DevTools, select Network, rotate a file, and confirm the PDF is not posted to a remote host. Page assets may still load from this site; the PDF itself is not sent on the default path.
Rotate runs in a Web Worker inside your browser. Local processing is how we avoid server-side rotate jobs. The heavy rotate code loads only after you choose a file. This page is a form: type pages, pick direction and degrees, then run. There is no page preview and no drag canvas for cards.
Type page numbers and ranges, such as 1-3, 5, or all. Leave the field blank to rotate every page. Repeated pages in the list are rejected with a clear error; they are not silently dropped.
Each run adds to the current /Rotate value on the selected pages. If a page is already rotated 90 degrees and you rotate 90 degrees again in the same direction, the result is 180 degrees, not a reset to 90. Run again if you need another turn.
Encrypted PDFs and files that need a password to open are rejected with a clear error. Unlock the file on Unlock PDF first if you already know the open password or only need to clear a permission lock, then come back to rotate. This site does not recover or guess passwords.
The current limits are 100 MB and 200 pages. Larger files are rejected with a clear error.
Yes. Rotate PDF is free in your browser and does not use credits. No account is required. You still have to stay within 100 MB and 200 pages.
