Is rotating PDFs really free?
Yes, completely free with no limits. Rotate unlimited PDF files of any size, as many times as you want. No watermarks, no signup, no credit card required.
Does the rotation stay saved?
Yes. FileHop writes the rotation into the file permanently, so the pages open the right way up everywhere - unlike a viewer that only rotates the on-screen view temporarily.
Do my PDFs get uploaded to a server?
Never. All rotation happens locally on your computer. Your files never leave your device.
Can I rotate only some pages?
Yes. Apply the rotation to the whole document, or enter specific pages and ranges (e.g. 1, 3, 5-10) to rotate only those.
Can different pages be rotated different amounts?
Yes. Rotate one set of pages 90 degrees and another 180, for example, then save once - useful for documents that mix portrait and landscape scans.
Can I rotate a password-protected PDF?
Yes, if you know the password. Enter it when prompted and FileHop will rotate the pages.
Does it work offline?
Yes, FileHop works 100% offline after installation. No internet connection is required to rotate PDFs.
What platforms are supported?
