About 🔄 Rotate PDF Pages

Scanning documents through automated sheet feeders frequently results in landscape pages getting saved vertically or receipts being inverted upside-down. Reading or printing rotated documents is frustrating.

SmallPDF Pro’s Rotate PDF tool allows you to rotate all pages at once or target individual pages independently. You can turn pages 90 degrees clockwise, 90 degrees counter-clockwise, or 180 degrees.

Because all rotational flags are updated directly in the PDF object dictionary within your browser memory, saving is instantaneous and preserves 100% of original vector quality.
