How Do I Rotate a PDF File 90 Degrees?

Rotating a PDF file 90 degrees is simple with Filator's free online PDF rotator. Upload your PDF, select whether to rotate all pages or individual pages, and click the rotation buttons to rotate clockwise (right) or counterclockwise (left). Unlike Adobe Acrobat or paid tools, Filator requires no software installation, no signup, and processes your PDF entirely in your browser for maximum privacy.

Why Choose Filator's PDF Rotator?

🔄 Rotate All or Individual Pages

Unlike competitors that only offer all-page rotation, Filator gives you granular control. Rotate every page by the same angle, or rotate individual pages independently. Perfect for fixing scanned documents with mixed orientations.

🚫 No Signup Required (Ever)

iLovePDF limits free users to 20 files with 100MB total per task. Smallpdf requires signup after a few uses. Filator never asks for your email, credit card, or personal information - just upload and rotate, unlimited times.

🔒 100% Client-Side Processing

Your PDF is never uploaded to a server. All rotation happens in your browser using pdf-lib, so your document never leaves your device. This is faster than server-based tools and guarantees complete privacy for sensitive documents.

💯 100MB File Limit

Filator accepts PDFs up to 100MB, larger than most free competitors. Process large scanned documents, ebooks, or multi-page reports without hitting arbitrary file size restrictions.

How to Rotate PDF Pages (Step-by-Step)

1. Upload Your PDF: Drag and drop your PDF into the upload zone, or click "Select PDF File" to browse your device. Files up to 100MB are supported.
2. Choose Rotation Mode: Select "Rotate All Pages" to apply the same rotation to every page, or "Rotate Individual Pages" to rotate specific pages independently.
3. Apply Rotation: For all-page mode, click "Rotate Right" (90° CW) or "Rotate Left" (90° CCW). Click multiple times for 180° or 270°. For individual mode, use the rotation buttons on each page card.
4. Preview Your Changes: The current rotation angle is displayed in real-time. For all-page mode, you'll see the total rotation (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°). For individual mode, each page shows its own rotation.
5. Process the PDF: Click "Apply Rotation" to process your PDF. Since all processing happens in your browser (not on a server), this typically takes just a few seconds.
6. Download Rotated PDF: Click "Download Rotated PDF" to save your file. The filename will have "_rotated" appended (e.g., "document_rotated.pdf").
7. Rotate Another (Optional): Click "Rotate Another" to reset the tool and rotate a different PDF.

Rotation Modes Explained

Rotate All Pages

Applies the same rotation to every page in your PDF. Ideal for documents where all pages have the same incorrect orientation (e.g., a scanned report where every page is sideways). Click the rotation buttons to rotate by 90° increments: 0° → 90° → 180° → 270° → 360° (back to 0°).

Rotate Individual Pages

Lets you rotate each page independently with its own rotation controls. Perfect for mixed-orientation documents (e.g., a contract with some pages in portrait and some in landscape) or fixing specific pages in a scanned PDF. Each page shows its current rotation angle and has dedicated left/right rotation buttons.

Advanced Features

• Lossless Rotation: PDF rotation is metadata-based, so your document's text, images, and quality remain unchanged.
• Visual Indicators: Green checkmarks show which pages have been rotated in individual mode, making it easy to track your changes.
• Real-Time Rotation Display: See the exact rotation angle (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°) before processing.
• No Download Until Ready: The tool prevents accidental downloads by disabling the rotation button until you've made at least one rotation.
• Unlimited Rotations: No daily limits, no monthly caps. Rotate as many PDFs as you need.
• Mobile-Optimized: Fully responsive design works on smartphones and tablets with touch-friendly controls.
• Privacy-First: Your PDF is processed entirely in your browser using WebAssembly (pdf-lib), never sent to a server.
• Works Offline: Once the page loads, you can rotate PDFs even without an internet connection (install as PWA for best offline experience).
