Turn sideways pages upright without touching their content
Rotate single pages or a whole PDF in quarter turns. The angle is written as page metadata, so nothing is redrawn or re-compressed.

- Lossless, writes the page rotation attribute
- Per-page or whole-document in one click
- Ninety, one-eighty and reset options
- Duplex fix for alternating feeder scans
EditPDFKit changes the rotation angle stored on each page instead of redrawing the page, so straightening a PDF costs nothing in quality and leaves text, fonts and annotations exactly as they were.

How to Rotate and Permanently Save PDF Page Orientations
Simple 4-step walkthrough for fast, secure processing
Open the document
Drop in the PDF; its pages appear as a thumbnail grid you can also step through one at a time.
Rotate individual pages
Hover a thumbnail and use its clockwise, counter-clockwise or reset control to set that page on its own.
Or turn the whole document
Use the batch cards to swing every page one way, flip the lot through one-eighty, or clear all your custom angles.
Straighten a duplex scan
If alternate sheets arrived inverted, add a quarter turn to just the odd or just the even pages, then download.
