Drop files anywhere or click to browse

One PDF at a time

Rotate one or all pages of a PDF. Common use cases: scans that came in sideways, mixed-orientation documents that need a uniform output, photos saved as PDF that imported in the wrong orientation. Browser-side, no upload, no signup.

How it works

3-step walkthrough

  1. 1

    Drop the PDF

    Dropvert renders thumbnails of every page so you can see the current orientation.

  2. 2

    Rotate per page or all at once

    Each thumbnail has counter-clockwise (−90°) and clockwise (+90°) buttons. The header has bulk options for rotating every page in one click. The thumbnail spins in place to preview the result.

  3. 3

    Apply and download

    Dropvert writes the rotation flag into each page (no re-rasterization), so the output stays the same file size and quality as the original.

Frequently asked questions

5 answered

Does rotation lose quality?
No. Rotation in PDF is a metadata flag on each page, not a redraw of the content. Dropvert writes that flag and saves; the page content stays untouched.
What if I rotate the same page twice?
Rotations stack. Two −90° rotations on the same page = 180° total. Reset with the opposite direction to undo.
Can I rotate only specific pages?
Yes — only the pages you click rotate buttons on are changed. The rest stay at 0°.
Will the rotation affect text selection or printing?
No. Most PDF readers and printers honor the rotation flag automatically: rotated pages print rotated, text still selects in reading order. The only edge case is some older readers that ignore the rotation flag — for those, you'd need to re-render the rotated pages, which we don't do because it would degrade quality.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The rotation runs entirely in your browser via pdf-lib, with thumbnails rendered locally by pdf.js.
