How to Rotate or Extract PDF Pages in 3 Simple Steps
Managing PDF pages is essential for fixing scanned documents, organizing multi-page files, and creating focused documents from larger PDFs. Our free online tool combines two powerful features: page rotation to fix orientation issues and page extraction to create new PDFs from selected pages. All processing happens securely in your browser with no uploads required.
Step 1: Upload Your PDF
Click "Select PDF file" or drag and drop your document. The tool loads all pages and displays visual thumbnails, making it easy to see which pages need rotation or extraction.
Step 2: Select Mode
Choose "Rotate Pages" to fix page orientation (perfect for scanned documents), or "Extract Pages" to select and save specific pages. Each mode provides specialized controls.
Step 3: Process & Download
Apply your changes and download the modified PDF. Rotation fixes are saved permanently, and extracted pages create a new, focused document. Processing takes seconds.
Why Rotate or Extract PDF Pages?

Rotation vs Extraction: Which to Use?
Use Rotation When: Pages in your PDF are upside-down, sideways, or otherwise incorrectly oriented. Rotation permanently changes the page orientation in your PDF. Common with scanned documents where the scanner didn't detect orientation properly.
Use Extraction When: You need only specific pages from a larger document. Extraction creates a new PDF containing just your selected pages, leaving the original unchanged. Perfect for creating focused documents or sharing only relevant sections.
Use Both: You can rotate pages first, download the corrected PDF, then upload it again to extract specific pages. This two-step process ensures your final extracted PDF has properly oriented pages.
