One PDF file. Password-protected PDFs are not supported.
This is a large PDF. Thumbnails are drawn as you scroll, and saving needs a lot of memory, so it may fail on phones or in older browsers.
Page previews could not be created for this file, but its pages can still be rotated.
Choose a PDF or drop it on the box above.
Notes
- Rotating changes each page's rotation setting. PDF viewers show the page turned; text, images and vector graphics are not re-rendered, so text stays selectable.
- The angle shown under a page is its rotation setting in the saved PDF (0°, 90°, 180° or 270° clockwise). Some PDFs already have a rotation setting, which is shown when the file is opened.
- The pages are copied into a new PDF. Bookmarks (the outline), attachments, some links and interactive form fields may not be carried over.
- Digital signatures become invalid when a signed PDF is changed. Keep the signed original.
- Password-protected (encrypted) PDFs are not supported. This tool does not remove or get around PDF passwords or restrictions.
- Very large PDFs need a lot of memory and may fail on phones or in older browsers. Thumbnails are drawn at low resolution as you scroll.
- The PDF is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to LeedyBox. The PDF.js and pdf-lib libraries, and the font data PDF.js needs for some PDFs, are downloaded from leedybox.com itself.
How to use
- Choose a PDF or drop it on the box. A thumbnail of each page appears with its current rotation.
- To rotate a single page, click its thumbnail (90° to the right) or use the buttons under it.
- To rotate several pages, choose All pages, Odd pages, Even pages or a page range such as 1-3, 8, then press a rotate button.
- Check the angle under each page, then press "Save rotated PDF" to download the new file.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is read, rotated and saved in your browser and is not uploaded to LeedyBox. The page needs an internet connection to download the PDF.js and pdf-lib libraries from leedybox.com.
Does rotating a PDF reduce the quality?
Only each page's rotation setting is changed. Text, images and vector graphics are not re-rendered or recompressed, so they stay as they were and text remains selectable. The thumbnails are low-resolution previews only.
Why does a page show 90° before I rotate it?
Some PDFs already have a rotation setting, for example scanned pages that were turned in another program. The angle under a page is its total rotation in the saved file, so rotating a 90° page to the right gives 180°.
Can I rotate only some pages?
Yes. Click single pages, or choose Odd pages, Even pages or a page range such as 1-3, 8 before you press a rotate button.
Why can't I open a password-protected PDF?
Encrypted or password-protected PDFs are not supported, and the tool does not remove or get around PDF protection. If you are allowed to edit the document, use an unprotected copy, for example one provided by the document's owner.
What is not carried over to the rotated PDF?
The pages are copied into a new PDF, so bookmarks (the outline), attachments, some links and interactive form fields may be missing, and digital signatures become invalid. Check the new PDF and keep the original.
