Tourner un PDF sous n'importe quel angle : redresser des scans inclinés gratuitement

Why 90° steps aren't enough

Every PDF tool can rotate a page by 90 degrees — that fixes a landscape scan saved as portrait. But the rotations people actually need are rarely that tidy. A page fed through a scanner at a slight tilt comes out crooked by 3° or 7°. A chart pasted sideways into a report sits at an odd angle. A signature photo lands at 15° off vertical. For all of these, 90° steps do nothing — you need arbitrary-angle rotation.

This tool rotates any page by any whole-degree angle, clockwise or counter-clockwise. Set one angle for the entire document, or fine-tune individual pages on the thumbnail grid — each thumbnail previews its rotation live, so you can eyeball a deskewed scan until the text lines up.

What happens to the page

Rotating by a non-right angle changes the page's shape: a 612×792 pt page rotated 30° needs a wider, taller box to hold its corners. The tool grows each page's MediaBox and CropBox to fit the rotated content, so nothing is clipped and no white bands appear. Annotations move with the page — link rectangles and highlight quads are transformed by the same rotation matrix.

The rotation is vector math, not a screenshot. Text stays text (selectable, searchable, copyable), vector lines stay sharp at any zoom, and images keep their original resolution. The file size barely changes — a few operators per page, no re-encoding.

What you can do

Arbitrary rotation covers the cases fixed-angle tools can't.

Deskewing vs. rotating

If your pages are scanned and uniformly tilted, our Deskew PDF tool detects the angle automatically. Use this tool when you know the angle, when different pages need different corrections, or when the tilt is in the content rather than the scan — a rotated diagram inside an otherwise straight page. For pure 90° orientation fixes, Rotate PDF is the faster path.
