Pro Tips & Best Practices

  • Our tool modifies the PDF rotation metadata permanently, so the file opens correctly in any future viewer.
  • If your scans are only slightly tilted (crooked scans), use our OCR tool which has auto-deskew to straighten text automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it degrade the document quality?

No, PDF rotation is a lossless metadata operation; text and image layouts are kept perfectly intact.

Can I rotate a single page in a 10-page document?

Yes! Just type the specific page number in the 'Apply to' options box.
