Rotate and delete PDF pages

Straighten a sideways scan, drop the blank pages, and download — without uploading anything.

Working with pages

The panel on the left shows a thumbnail of every page. Hover one and two buttons appear:

Nothing is committed until you save, and every change is covered by undo, so it is safe to experiment.

Common fixes

A scan that came out sideways

Multi-page scanners often rotate alternate sheets. Rotate the affected pages individually rather than re-scanning the stack.

Blank pages between sections

Duplex scanning produces a blank for every one-sided sheet. Drop them and the document halves in length without touching the content pages.

Sending only part of a document

Remove everything you do not need and save. The pages that remain keep their original quality — they are copied across, not re-encoded, so nothing degrades.

Rotation is stored, not baked in. A rotated page keeps its original content and carries a rotation flag, which is exactly how PDF is designed to work and how every reader expects it. If you want the rotation permanently applied to the pixels, use Flatten when saving.

Editing and page work together

Page changes combine with everything else in one save. Fix the text on page 3, highlight page 5, rotate page 7, drop page 8, and it all lands in a single download.

Questions

Can I reorder pages?

Pages can be rotated and removed. The order of the remaining pages follows the original document.

Does removing a page shrink the file?

Usually yes, since the content of the removed page is not carried into the new file.

Will rotation stick when I print?

Yes. The rotation is recorded in the page itself, so readers and printers both honour it.

Can I extract a single page?

Remove every other page and save. What is left is a one-page PDF with the original quality intact.
