Fix scanned PDFs that came out sideways or upside-down. Rotate all pages 90° / 180° / 270°, or pick which pages need rotating with per-page thumbnail controls. Output downloads as a fresh PDF — original stays untouched.
01 — What you create
Apply 90° / 180° / 270° rotation to every page, just odd/even, just first/last, custom ranges, or per page with thumbnail controls. Click a thumbnail to cycle its rotation; the preview updates instantly.

02 — How it works
Most scanned packets come out with at least one rogue page — fed the wrong way, flipped during stapling, captured in landscape when the rest is portrait. Open the PDF, click the wrong tiles to cycle them right, save the fix. Two minutes instead of asking the office for another scan.
Drag a scanned packet of invoices, statements, or receipts. The tool renders a thumbnail of every page so you can see which need rotating.
Apply 90° / 180° / 270° to all pages, odd-only, even-only, first or last, custom ranges, or per-page (click each tile to cycle its rotation).
One click renders every page at the chosen quality, rotated to the new orientation, and downloads a fresh PDF. Original file stays exactly as you uploaded it.
03 — Built for fixing scans
Cardinal rotations only: 0° (no change), 90° clockwise, 180° (upside-down fix), 270° (= 90° anti-clockwise). The four steps cover every sideways scan you'll see.
All pages, odd-only, even-only (great for two-sided scans flipped wrong), first or last page only, custom ranges like "3-5, 8", or per-page with thumbnail cycling.
In per-page mode, every tile shows a live thumbnail. Click once for 90°, twice for 180°, three times for 270°, four times back to 0°. The preview rotates instantly.
In per-page mode, "All 90°", "All 180°", "All 270°", and "Clear" buttons let you start from a base rotation and tweak the odd page out — much faster than 30 individual clicks.
The tool never overwrites the source — it produces a new PDF with the chosen rotations applied. Re-rotate as many times as you like from the same uploaded file.
PDF, thumbnails, and the rotated output are all generated locally via the same PDF stack used across Sonchoy. No upload, no third-party APIs, nothing logged.

04 — Common questions
Only for 90° and 270° rotations — those swap width and height, so an A4 portrait page becomes A4 landscape (and vice versa) in the output PDF. 0° and 180° rotations preserve the original page size. The PDF will open correctly oriented in every viewer because the page itself is the right shape and size, not just the content rotated inside an old shape.
Auto-feeders sometimes capture pages in their physical orientation rather than re-orienting based on content. Two-sided scans are notorious — page 1 lands portrait, page 2 lands portrait-upside-down (because the page came out flipped). The "Odd pages only" or "Even pages only" selection modes are designed exactly for this case: rotate the bad set 180° and leave the others alone.
No — same trade-off as the other PDF utilities. Each page is rasterised to a JPEG before the rotation is applied, so the output is a sequence of page images. The visible content is identical (just oriented correctly), but Ctrl-F won't find words. For searchable rotated output, run OCR on the result.
No — this tool only supports the four cardinal rotations (0° / 90° / 180° / 270°). Fixing scanner skew (where pages are off by a few degrees due to misalignment) requires a different tool — usually an OCR pass with deskew correction. For most scanned documents, deskew matters less than reading direction; this tool fixes the reading-direction problem.
Roughly the same as the Merge / Compress tools — about 0.3–0.6 seconds per page at Standard quality. A 12-page packet takes ~5 seconds; a 100-page archive takes ~45 seconds. The progress bar shows live "Page X of N" so you know how much is left.
Never. The PDF is read into memory, each page is rendered to a canvas, optionally rotated via a second canvas, and the output is assembled as a new PDF blob — all in your browser. The download is triggered locally via the standard file-save mechanism. Nothing is uploaded to Sonchoy or any third party.
