About this tool

Rotating a page in your PDF reader usually only changes how you are looking at it. Close the file, send it on, and it is sideways again for the next person. This tool writes the rotation into the document so it stays fixed.

You can turn every page at once, which is what you want when a whole scan came in sideways, or fix individual pages when only a few went in the wrong way.

How to rotate pdf

  1. Add your PDF and wait for the page thumbnails.
  2. Use the buttons at the top to turn every page at once, or the rotate button on a single page.
  3. Select Rotate PDF to save the document with the rotation applied.

Common questions

Why does my reader show it sideways again?

Because most readers rotate the view, not the file. Doxly writes the rotation into the page itself, so it survives saving, sending and printing.

Does rotating lose quality?

No. Nothing is redrawn. The page keeps its original content and a rotation value is recorded alongside it.

Can I rotate only some pages?

Yes. Use the rotate button on individual thumbnails. The whole-document buttons apply on top of whatever you have already set.
