Can I rotate just one page?

Yes. Each page has its own rotate-left and rotate-right buttons, so you can fix a single sideways page while leaving the rest untouched — or use the rotate-all buttons for the whole document.

Does the rotation stay when I reopen the file?

Yes. The rotation is written into the PDF's page metadata, so the document opens in the corrected orientation in any reader, browser or print dialog.

Will rotating reduce the quality or make the file bigger?

No. Rotating only changes each page's orientation flag — it doesn't re-render or re-compress the content, so quality and file size stay essentially the same.

Can I rotate a scanned document?

Yes. Sideways scans are the most common reason to use this tool. Rotate the affected pages upright and save — the scan's images are preserved exactly.

Is there a limit on pages or file size?

No hard limit. Because it all runs on your device, very large PDFs depend on your device's memory, but typical documents rotate instantly.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The rotation happens entirely in your browser with pdf-lib, so your PDF never leaves your device.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes, in any modern browser on Android or iOS, with no app to install.
