Rotate PDF Pages Online (Fix Sideways Scans)

Rotate any page 90/180/270 degrees and export a clean, readable document — no uploads.

Sideways scans make readers tilt their heads, print incorrectly, and feel unprofessional. The Rotate tool in PDF Smile lets you fix page orientation without touching the rest of the document. Because everything runs in your browser, nothing uploads and your session clears the moment you refresh.

When rotation matters

Scanned forms: adjust landscape pages in a portrait document.
Mixed orientations: clean up slide decks or research packs with varied page formats.
Printing: ensure duplex printers align correctly.
