§ 04 When to use it 03 cases

Three situations it was made for

Case 01

A scanner that fed the stack sideways

Landscape pages scanned as portrait come out lying down. One quarter turn fixes the lot.

Case 02

A document that reads upside down

A stack put in the tray the wrong way up. Half a turn and it reads normally.

Case 03

Before sending it on

Nobody should have to tilt their head to read what you sent. Straighten it once, at the source.

§ 05 Worth knowing 03 notes

What the tool actually does

The rotation is written into the file

Turning a page in your reader changes only your view of it: send the file on and the next person sees it lying down again. This tool writes the rotation into the document itself, so it travels with the file.

Every page turns the same way

The turn applies to the whole document. A file where only some pages are sideways needs to be split, rotated in parts and merged back, which the toolbox can do in three steps.

Nothing is re-encoded

The pages themselves are untouched: only their orientation changes. Text stays selectable, images keep their resolution, and the file weighs what it weighed.

§ 06 Common questions 08 questions

Before you upload anything

Can I rotate only some pages?

Not from this tool. Split the document, rotate the part that needs it, then merge the pieces back together.

Is the quality affected?

No. Only the orientation is written; the pages themselves are copied as they are.

My reader can already rotate, why use this?

Because your reader changes only your view. The rotation here is written into the file and travels with it.

Which direction should I pick?

Look at the first page. A page lying on its left side needs a quarter turn clockwise; on its right side, anticlockwise.

Is the tool free?

Yes, with no sign-up and nothing to install.

Are my files kept?

No. The file you send and the file produced are deleted automatically once the job is done.

Where are my files processed?

On servers in France. Your data stays in the European Union, under the GDPR.

Do I need an account?

No. An account is what lets you keep, find and share your documents afterwards.
