Scanner feeds and phone cameras produce sideways pages constantly. Rotating all pages 90° clockwise and saving keeps text selectable.
In practice: (1) Use 90° for sideways scans, 180° for upside-down. (2) Rotation is applied to page dimensions, not by re-encoding images. (3) Combine with OCR after rotating for much better accuracy.
Frequently asked questions
Will rotation blur my scan?
No. Rotation changes the page orientation flag — the image is not resampled.
Can I rotate only some pages?
Yes — list the page numbers to rotate and leave the rest untouched.
