# Rotate and reorder PDF pages

Rotate individual pages or the whole document, and reorder pages.

## How it works

Rotates pages in 90-degree steps — all of them, or only the ones you name — and reorders pages into any sequence.

Rotation in a PDF is metadata rather than a transformation of the content. The page keeps its original coordinates and gains a rotation attribute that viewers apply on display, which is why rotating is lossless and instant regardless of what is on the page.

That also explains a common surprise: a page that looks upright may carry a rotation of 90 already, so applying another 90 produces something unexpected. The tool shows each page’s current rotation so you can see what you are starting from.

> This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to a server, logged or stored, and the page keeps working with the network disconnected.

## Common questions

### Does rotating a PDF lose quality?

No. Rotation is stored as page metadata and applied by the viewer — the content is untouched, so it is lossless and instant.

### Why did rotating give an unexpected result?

The page probably already had a rotation set. A page can look upright while carrying a 90-degree attribute, so a further 90 lands somewhere unexpected.
