Powerful rotation features that save time
From fixing scanning errors to rotating entire documents, Lumin gives you simple, precise controls to keep your PDFs properly aligned.
Smart rotation controls
Whether you're fixing a sideways scan or flipping an upside-down page, just click to rotate left or right by 90 or 180 degrees. It's that simple. No more tilting your head or printing wonky documents.
Rotate one page, or all
Rotate just one page, a few pages, or your whole document: whatever makes sense for your workflow. No need to fix things one page at a time when you don't need to.
Rotate on any device
Rotate PDFs instantly from your Mac or Windows desktop, or on an iPhone, iPad or other mobile device. No desk is required—just tap, rotate, and done.
Works with document merging
Combine multiple PDFs while keeping everything properly aligned. Rotate pages in different files, then merge them into one polished document that looks professional from front to back.
Google Drive integration
Open, rotate, and save PDFs directly from Google Drive without the usual file shuffling. Your rotated documents sync automatically with Google Workspace, so your team gets properly oriented files immediately.
Fix scanning errors instantly
Sideways scans, upside-down pages, that one random page at a weird angle – our rotation tool handles all the common scanning errors so your PDFs display and print correctly every time.
