How Rotate PDF Works in Your Browser

Adjusts the internal `/Rotate` metadata dictionary for selected pages directly inside the client without re-encoding content streams.

Why client-side processing is more private:

Unlike conventional online converters, your documents never traverse external networks to third-party processing servers. Everything happens inside your local machine’s memory.
