Fix Sideways or Upside-Down Pages Without Re-Scanning
Scanned PDFs often open in the wrong direction—some pages are sideways, some are upside down, and printing becomes confusing. With a rotate tool, you can fix the orientation in seconds and make the PDF easy to read and share.
Use the ClonyPDF Rotate PDF tool to rotate selected pages or the full PDF — no signup required.
ClonyPDF rotates pages without changing text clarity, image quality, or layout. Only the page direction changes.
Most Common Rotation Problems
- Sideways scan: pages rotated 90° left or right (common with landscape charts).
- Upside-down pages: rotated 180° (common with fast feeders).
- Mixed orientation: some pages correct, some wrong (common in mobile scans).
What Does Rotating a PDF Mean?
Rotating a PDF means changing the viewing orientation of one or more pages. You can rotate pages by 90° (Quarter turn), 180° (Half turn), or 270° (Three-quarter turn) while keeping the content and formatting unchanged.
This is different from editing or converting. Rotation simply fixes direction so the PDF is readable and prints correctly.
Rotate Selected Pages vs Rotate Entire PDF
- Rotate selected pages: Best when only a few pages (like a specific chart or map) are sideways.
- Rotate entire PDF: Best when the whole document was scanned upside down.
