What is a PDF drehen?

Rotation corrects pages that came out sideways or upside-down — usually from a scanner that didn't detect page orientation, or a document photographed in landscape — without needing to re-scan or re-photograph anything. Beyond rotating everything at once, quick odd/even-page controls handle the common duplex-scanning case where only every other page came out sideways, and a custom page list covers anything more specific.

How to use the PDF drehen

Add a PDF file
Pick a rotation angle and which pages — all, odd, even, or a custom list

Example

A double-sided document scanned with every even page upside-down straightens out by picking "Even pages" and applying a 180° rotation — the odd pages, already right-side up, are left untouched.

Why use PDF drehen

All, odd, even, or custom pages

One click handles rotating everything, or just the odd/even pages a duplex scan commonly gets wrong.

Any of the three rotation angles

Rotate 90°, 180°, or 270° — covers sideways, upside-down, and the opposite-sideways case.

Nothing uploaded

Rotation is applied entirely in your browser via WebAssembly — your PDF never reaches a server.

What can you create?

Fix a sideways scan

Straighten pages a scanner captured in the wrong orientation, without re-scanning the original.

Correct a duplex-scanned document

Rotate just the even (or odd) pages when only one side of a double-sided scan came out sideways.

Straighten a photographed document

Fix pages photographed in landscape when the rest of the document is portrait.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No — PDF drehen runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript/WebAssembly. Your PDF is never sent to a server.

Is there a file size limit?

Free use covers files up to 100MB per file; signing up for Pro raises that to 500MB.

Can I rotate just a few pages instead of the whole document?

Yes — pick "Selected pages" and type specific page numbers or ranges, as well as apply one rotation to the whole file, for documents where only some pages came out sideways.

Can I rotate only the odd or only the even pages?

Yes — the "Odd pages" and "Even pages" buttons handle this in one click, which is the common case for a duplex-scanned document where every other page came out sideways.

Does rotating a PDF affect whether its text is still selectable or searchable?

No — rotation only changes each page's display orientation; any selectable or searchable text underneath is untouched and reads normally once the page is rotated the right way up.

Is rotating here different from just rotating in a PDF viewer's print dialog?

Yes — a print-dialog rotation only changes how that one print job renders; this permanently changes the page's stored orientation in the file itself, so it opens rotated correctly everywhere from then on.
