Frequently Asked Questions
Is the page rotation permanent?
Yes. The rotation updates the internal PDF matrix angle metadata (`/Rotate 90`, `180`, or `270`) directly within the document catalog. When opened in Adobe Acrobat, Apple Preview, or a browser, pages will stay in their correct orientation.
Are my confidential documents uploaded to a cloud server?
No. The entire process runs strictly inside your web browser via client-side WebAssembly (pdf-lib). Your private documents never touch any remote server.
Can I rotate scanned sideways or upside-down pages?
Yes! You can rotate any combination of pages: rotate all pages together, or selectively rotate only the sideways scanned pages.
Does rotating degrade quality or compress text?
No. Rotating simply alters the document display angle. All original vector text, high-resolution scanned graphics, and embedded fonts remain 100% untouched.
