Rotating PDF pages: what you should know
Rotating a page in your PDF viewer usually only changes the view — the next time you open the file, the page is sideways again. ToolCMB saves the rotation permanently in the file, so every program, printer and phone shows the pages the right way up.
The tool only changes the page’s rotation setting. Nothing is re-rendered or compressed: text remains selectable and searchable, images keep their full quality, and bookmarks, links, forms, comments and accessibility tags keep working.
Your files never leave your device. The PDFs are opened and saved inside your browser, which also makes the tool fast — even for large scans or dozens of files at once.

Tips
- Scans with mixed orientation? Click All portrait — only the sideways pages are turned.

- Also need to change the page order? Use PDF Page Reorder — it can rotate too.
- Want images of the corrected pages? Convert them with PDF to JPG.
