Rotate PDF FAQ
How is Craftora different from iLovePDF or Smallpdf?
iLovePDF and Smallpdf upload your PDF to their servers to rotate it. Craftora rotates the file directly in your browser, so your document never leaves your device, with no daily limits or watermarks on the free tier.
Can I rotate only some pages?
Yes. Choose specific pages and enter the page numbers or ranges, like 1-2, 4. Only those pages are rotated, the rest are left as they are.
Is the rotation permanent?
Yes. The new orientation is saved into the PDF itself, so it displays correctly in any PDF reader, not just while previewing.
Do my files get uploaded anywhere?
No. Rotation runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your PDF is never sent to any server.
Why is my scanned PDF sideways?
Scanners and phone cameras often save pages in the wrong orientation. Rotating them left or right by 90 degrees usually fixes it so the text reads normally.
