FAQ
Got questions?
Yes. You can select individual pages to rotate and leave the rest of the document unmodified. This is useful when only some scanned pages ended up rotated.
The rotation is permanent in the downloaded file. The actual page orientation in the PDF structure is modified, not just a preview. Any PDF viewer will show the correct orientation.
In portrait mode the height is greater than the width. In landscape it is the reverse. Documents scanned horizontally are sometimes saved as portrait rotated 90°, making them appear sideways in the viewer.
Yes. The 'Rotate all' option applies the same rotation angle to all pages in the document simultaneously, ideal for complete scanned documents with incorrect orientation.
Some viewers interpret orientation differently or have their own display rotation setting. The PDF file itself has the correct orientation; the viewer may be configured to rotate the display. Download and open in another viewer to confirm.
Rotate PDF: how to fix the orientation of scanned pages
Document scanners sometimes capture pages in the wrong orientation: a sheet placed horizontally is scanned and saved as portrait rotated 90°. The result is a PDF where pages appear sideways and you have to tilt the screen to read them. Rotating the PDF fixes this problem permanently.
In the PDF specification, the orientation of each page is defined by a rotation value in its page dictionary. This value can be 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°. Modifying this value is a simple operation that does not require rendering or recompressing the page content, making it instant and lossless.
Convertir.ai modifies the orientation directly in the file structure using pdf-lib, without processing images or content. Your document — which may be a scanned contract, medical report, or legal documentation — never leaves your device during the process.
