Rotate a PDF by any angle

What this tool does

• Find the angle with the slider, or type it to a tenth of a degree.
• The sheet grows by default so that nothing falls outside it.
• If you keep the original size, the screen says what share of the page will be cut off.
• The corners the tilt leaves empty are painted white.
• For an exact quarter turn, “rotate” is better: it sets a label instead of redrawing, so it loses nothing.

What it does not do: The angle is not guessed: you find it, the tool does not detect which way a document leans. And a quarter turn here is not the one “rotate” does: on a page that is not square, keeping the size cuts off almost a third of it. The pages are redrawn: clickable links, bookmarks, form fields and accessibility tags do not survive. And what falls outside the frame stays in the file without being shown, as with cropping: an editor can bring it back.

Nothing is uploaded. Cut your network connection once this page has loaded: the tool keeps working. How to check it yourself.

The other tools

• Merge PDFs: Several files, one document, in the order you decide.
• Organize pages: Reorder, rotate, delete, duplicate: the whole plan.
• Extract pages: Pick pages, take them out into a document of their own.
• Delete pages: Remove pages while looking at them; they are not left under the file you get.
