Rotate videos
For phone videos that play sideways. Keep the same format and it is fixed in seconds without re-encoding.

How to use
- 1
Add videos
Drop the videos whose orientation you want to fix.
- 2
Choose the rotation
90° clockwise, 180° or 90° counter-clockwise.
- 3
Run and save
Keeping the same format only rewrites the rotation metadata, so there is no re-encoding and it takes seconds.
Why no re-encoding is needed
MP4 and MOV can carry a rotation flag that tells players to rotate on playback. By default this tool only rewrites that flag, so the video data is copied as-is with no quality loss and almost no wait.
A few players and editors ignore the rotation flag. To rotate reliably for those, change the output format so the video is re-encoded.
Frequently asked questions
Is quality lost?
Not when keeping the same format, since the video is copied. Changing the format re-encodes it.
Some software does not show the rotation
That software ignores the rotation flag. Change the output format (e.g. MP4 to WebM) to re-encode with the rotation baked into the frames.
Can I mirror (flip) a video?
Only rotation is supported at the moment.
Can I rotate several videos at once?
Yes. The same angle is applied to all of them, and you can save them as a ZIP.
Help us improve the service
If a conversion fails, sending us the circumstances helps us track down the cause. Knowing which devices and formats fail most often, and how long processing takes, lets us revise the supported formats and fix the bugs behind them. If you don't mind, leaving this on is a real help.
What is sent
The tool you used and the settings you chose (output format, quality, etc.), your device specs (GPU, memory, core count), the input format with a rough size, how many files succeeded or failed and how long it took, and the error type and details when something fails.
What is never sent
The files themselves, file names, text, subtitles or prompts you add to a video, and IP addresses. The data goes only to this site's own server, never to a third-party service.
