With the Smallpdf Rotate tool, you can align all pages in your PDF document correctly and don’t have to re-scan upside-down pages.
PDFs are everywhere. Almost every scan arrives on your computer as a PDF file. Most documents sent out are saved in this format. The reason for its popularity is that PDFs are easy to save, store, and share. However, when it comes to editing, things may get a bit tricky. Luckily, we have a few tools to help you correct, rearrange, or edit your existing PDF files.
The Smallpdf Rotate tool is highly underrated in comparison to its siblings, the compress and converter tools. It’s often used in combination with our split or merge tools to organize files more efficiently. But when you think about it, there are actually quite a few situations where you may need to flip individual pages or entire documents (think about a scan gone wrong). As such, here are a few highlights to help you get the most out of this lightweight but powerful PDF tool.
