  2. Set the angle

    Drag the slider or type an exact angle. Positive turns clockwise, negative anticlockwise.

  3. Download

    Choose whether the page grows to fit, press Rotate pages and download.

Vector quality

Text and graphics are turned, not redrawn as pictures.

Straighten only the pages that need it.

Straightening crooked scans

Pages that went into the scanner at a slight angle look sloppy and are harder for OCR to read. Turning them back by the same small angle, often 1 or 2 degrees, makes them look straight again.

For quarter turns, use Rotate PDF instead: it changes the page's rotation setting without touching the content, which is lossless.

Tip: Not sure which way? Positive angles turn clockwise. If the text slopes down to the right, try a small negative angle.

Frequently asked questions

Which way is a positive angle?

Clockwise. Use a negative number to turn anticlockwise.

What does "grow the page" mean?

The page gets slightly bigger so the turned content fits without cutting corners.

Is this the same as Rotate PDF?

No. Rotate PDF turns in quarter turns without changing the content. This tool turns by any angle.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no limit on files and no watermark.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The tool runs inside your web browser and works on the file on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, so private documents stay private.
