What to look for in a free PDF page rotator

Rotating a PDF sounds trivial, but the difference between tools shows up in the details: can you rotate one page at a time, does the rotation actually save permanently, and is there a watermark on the result?

The details that matter

Per-page rotation — a scanned document often has a few sideways pages mixed into an otherwise correct stack; you need to rotate individual pages, not the whole file.
Permanent saving — some PDF viewers let you rotate the view temporarily, which resets the next time the file is opened. That's different from actually saving the rotation into the file.
No quality loss — rotation shouldn't require recompressing the page content.

How pdfvelo's rotate tool works

Open the Rotate PDF tool.
Drop in your file — every page shows as a thumbnail.
Click a page to rotate it 90 degrees at a time until it's upright.
Download — the rotation is saved permanently into the new file.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rotate just one page instead of the whole document?+

Yes, rotation is applied per page, so you can fix only the pages that need it.

Will the rotation still be there if I reopen the file later?+

Yes — the rotation is saved into the PDF itself, not just the current viewer session.
