Questions
Is the rotation permanent?
The rotation is written into the PDF's page settings, so every viewer shows the pages the new way round. Page content is not re-rendered, so quality is unchanged.
How do I turn only the crooked pages?
Click their thumbnails: each click turns that page a further 90° clockwise, and the angle under the thumbnail says how far the page will turn. The Rotation above also turns the pages chosen under Which pages, which starts as all pages; to turn only the pages you click, choose Custom pages and leave the page numbers empty. Undo all clicks takes back every click.
Do the thumbnails match the saved file?
Yes. Each thumbnail is drawn on this device from your PDF, the way a viewer shows the page now, and turned by the angle under it; the saved file shows every page the way its thumbnail does. A page that cannot be drawn shows a blank page, and its number and button still work.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The page loads a PDF engine into your browser and every operation runs on your device. You can check this yourself in the browser's network panel: after the page has loaded there are no upload requests. Closing the tab discards the file.
Do I need an account or to pay?
No. These basic tools are free, have no page or file limits set by us, and never add a watermark. The practical limit is your device's memory.
What about password-protected PDFs?
Encrypted PDFs cannot be processed here. Remove the password first, then use this tool.
What does this page keep in my browser?
Nothing you open or type. While the tab is open, the tool pages keep a short list of the steps taken in it, in the tab's session storage: the step (page opened, started, succeeded, first success, used again or failed), the tool's name, the time, how many files were used and, for a failure, an error code; never a file name, the contents of a file or your text. It holds at most the latest 200 steps, and the browser deletes it when the tab closes. The page never sends it. Where a Report a problem button is shown, you can attach the last 20 steps to your report; nothing is attached unless you tick that box. In local storage the page keeps only choices you made: a Light or Dark theme until you choose System again, the language you picked with the EN / 中文 switch if it differs from your browser's language, and this tool in your recently used list if you switched that list on at the tools page.
