Frequently Asked Questions

Does rotating a PDF upload my file anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser using PDF.js (for thumbnails) and pdf-lib (for applying rotations). Your file never leaves your device.
Will text stay selectable after rotating?
Yes. pdf-lib encodes the rotation as metadata without rasterizing any content. Text, hyperlinks, vector graphics, and fonts are all preserved exactly as in the original.
Can I rotate just some pages and leave the rest?
Yes. Use the ↺ or ↻ buttons on individual page cards. Only the pages you rotate will be changed — pages with no rotation badge keep their original orientation.
Can I rotate a password-protected PDF?
No. Use the PDF Password Remover to unlock the file first, then rotate it here.
Why are thumbnails still loading after I open the PDF?
Thumbnails are rendered page-by-page in the background using PDF.js. You can start rotating pages immediately — the rotation controls work independently of thumbnail loading.
