Is the rotation permanent?

Yes. pdf-lib writes the new angle into each page's own rotation value, not a viewer preference, so it opens the right way up in Acrobat, Preview or any other reader.

Where does the file go while this runs?

Nowhere. pdf-lib rewrites the rotation in this browser tab, and the rotated copy downloads straight from your device.

How it works

How to rotate a PDF without uploading it

Drop a PDF, choose 90°, 180° or 270°, and download a permanently rotated copy. The change is baked into the file, so it displays correctly in every reader.

Because rotation runs locally in your browser, scanned contracts and personal documents stay on your machine. There is no upload and nothing is stored on a server.

FAQ

Yes, the whole document turns by the angle you pick. To rotate a single page instead, use Organize pages, where each page has its own rotate control.
