The basics

Why Pages Come Out Sideways, and How to Rotate PDF Pages Back

Scanners and phone cameras often save pages sideways or upside down, especially when a stack of paper goes in the wrong way or a landscape table sits between portrait pages.

When you rotate PDF pages with PDF Magic, the editor changes the page's rotation setting rather than redrawing it. Text, images and signatures keep exactly the same quality, and any text on the page stays selectable.

Each page rotates on its own, so you can fix one sideways page without touching the rest of the document.

  • 90° per click

    One click turns a page a quarter turn clockwise. Two clicks turn it upside down.

  • One page at a time

    Fix only the pages that need it. The others stay as they are.

  • No quality loss

    The page itself is not changed, only the direction it is shown in.
