Scanned documents love to come out sideways. A contract photographed in portrait, a receipt scanned upside down, a whole batch of pages tilted the wrong way — reading them means craning your neck or fiddling with desktop software. ThePDFBuddy’s free rotate tool straightens every page of a PDF in a single pass, right in your browser.
Pick 90 degrees clockwise, 180 degrees, or 270 degrees clockwise, and the tool applies your choice to the whole document at once. It is the fastest fix for the extremely common case where an entire scan came out in the wrong orientation.
Rotation happens locally on your device, so your documents stay private. It is free for everyday use, and the corrected PDF comes back with no watermark.
