PDFs & Documents · Rotate PDF
Rotate a whole PDF or just some pages, on your computer
Quick answer
Open Toolfox → Rotate PDF, drop your PDFs, choose 90° clockwise, 180° or 90° counterclockwise, optionally list pages, and click Rotate. Rotation is stored as page metadata, so nothing is re-rendered and quality is unchanged. It runs entirely on your computer (Mac, Windows or Linux). Files are never uploaded.
How to do it
- Open Rotate PDF and drop one or more PDFs.
- Choose the rotation.
- List pages like 2, 4-6, or leave Pages blank to rotate every page.
- Click Rotate. The copy is saved as name (rotated).pdf.
Options you can set
- Rotate
- Pages
Good to know
- Rotation is stored as page metadata, so nothing is re-rendered or re-encoded. Bookmarks, links and form fields are kept.
- Rotation adds to any rotation a page already has.
- Password-protected PDFs need Unlock PDF first.
Rotate PDF FAQ
Does rotating a PDF reduce quality?
No. Only page metadata changes; content isn't re-encoded, and bookmarks, links and form fields are kept.
What if a page is already rotated?
The rotation adds to what the page already has, so rotating a page that's already turned 90° by another 90° makes it upside down.
Is Rotate PDF in Toolfox free?
Yes. Rotate PDF is one of 57 tools in Toolfox, a free app for Mac, Windows and Linux with no account, ads, limits or watermarks.
Does Rotate PDF upload my files?
No. Toolfox processes files on your own computer and works offline; your files are never uploaded.
