Complete PDF Manipulation Tool: Rotate, Crop, and Resize PDFs

Our PDF Rotate/Crop/Resize tool provides comprehensive PDF manipulation capabilities entirely in your browser. Unlike other online tools that require file uploads to external servers, this tool processes your documents locally, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Key Features

Page Rotation

Rotate PDF pages by 90°, 180°, or 270° to correct orientation issues or adjust document layout. Perfect for scanned documents that need reorientation.

Smart Cropping

Three cropping modes: manual crop with interactive overlay, automatic margin detection, or no cropping. Remove unwanted borders and focus on important content.

Document Resizing

Scale pages from 50% to 200% of original size or convert to standard page sizes including A4, Letter, and Legal formats.

Privacy First

All processing happens locally in your browser using PDF.js and PDF-lib libraries. No files are uploaded to external servers - your documents stay private.
