Common reasons to rotate a video

  • Phone footage recorded in portrait mode that plays sideways on desktop

Key Features

Rotation Baked Into Video Data

Rotation is applied to the actual video frames, not stored as metadata. The output plays correctly in all players, editors, and platforms.

All Common Angles

Rotate 90°, 180°, or 270° clockwise. 270° clockwise is equivalent to 90° counter-clockwise for fixing left-rotated footage.

Broad Input Support

Accepts MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, and MKV. Output is always clean MP4.

No Upload Required

All processing happens locally in your browser. Your video never leaves your device.

Complete Privacy

Video files are processed entirely in your browser. No data is uploaded to any server at any point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my video sideways?

Phones and some cameras record video in portrait orientation but store a rotation flag in the metadata. Some players and platforms ignore that flag, displaying the video sideways. This tool bakes the rotation into the video frames so it displays correctly everywhere.

What is the difference between 90° and 270°?

90° rotates clockwise — correct for footage that appears rotated 90° counter-clockwise. 270° rotates counter-clockwise — correct for footage that appears rotated 90° clockwise. If the first choice looks wrong, try the other.

Will rotating change the video quality?

Yes, a transcode is required to bake the rotation into the frames. Quality loss is minimal at the default settings and not perceptible for most use cases.

Is there a file size limit?

The tool enforces a 500MB limit. Files are streamed efficiently so memory usage stays low.

Which browsers are supported?

Chrome 94+ and Edge 94+ are fully supported. Chrome is recommended for best performance.
