Frequently asked questions
Can I rotate different pages by different amounts in one operation?+
Apply each rotation angle as a separate operation — upload and rotate 180° pages first, then handle 90° pages in a second pass.
Will this slow down my PDF viewer for large scanned documents?+
No — the rotation is a lightweight page-level operation. The output file size remains similar to the input.
Should I rotate before or after running OCR?+
Rotate first, then run OCR. OCR accuracy is significantly better when pages are at the correct orientation.
