Rotate PDF

Scanned documents and photos of paper pages frequently end up sideways or upside down. Rotating a PDF fixes the orientation so the file reads correctly on screen and prints the right way up.

ColaPDF shows a thumbnail of every page so you can rotate just the pages that need it, in 90-degree steps, and leave the rest alone. The rotation is written into the document itself, so it stays correct wherever the PDF is opened.

How it works

1. Upload your PDF
2. Thumbnails of all pages will load — click to select the pages you want to rotate
3. Choose rotation angle: 90°, 180° or 270°
4. Click Save and download your rotated PDF

Tips

• Click individual page thumbnails to rotate only the pages that are wrong, rather than the whole document.
• Rotation is saved into the PDF permanently, so the fix carries over to any viewer or printer.
• Combine with the Merge tool if you are assembling pages that arrived in different orientations.
