The file never leaves your computer. No signup, no upload, no tracking.<\/p>\n<p>Use this when a scanned page, phone scan, or merged document has pages facing the wrong way. The output keeps every page and applies rotation only to the pages you change.<\/p>\n<h2>Why we do not upload your PDF<\/h2>\n<p>A rotated PDF can still contain contracts, records, invoices, or forms. DropFormat edits the page rotation locally with JavaScript. Your browser reads the PDF, builds the corrected copy, and starts the download without sending the file to a server.<\/p>\n<h2>Common questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Can I rotate one page?<\/strong> Yes. Deselect all pages, pick the page you want, rotate it, and download the new PDF.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does this change image quality?<\/strong> No. The tool updates page rotation and copies the page content. It does not rasterize or recompress the page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I rotate password-protected PDFs?<\/strong> Not currently. Unlock the PDF first, then rotate it here.<\/p>\n<nav class=\"df-related\" aria-label=\"Related tools\">\n<h2>Related tools<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/extract-pdf-pages\/\">Extract PDF Pages<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/reorder-pdf-pages\/\">Reorder PDF Pages<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/split-pdf\/\">Split PDF<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/nav>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fix sideways PDF pages without uploading the document.
