Rotate a video, free

Rotate a video in three steps

Drop your video, choose the rotation (or a flip), and download — in your browser.

Nothing uploads

Your clip stays on your device.

Fix sideways phone clips

Recorded in portrait and it shows up sideways? Rotate it 90° and you’re done.

When you’d want this

Phones record in portrait, but some apps save the file with wrong orientation metadata — so the video plays sideways on players that read the raw stream instead of the flag. Rotating 90° (or 270°, depending on which way it’s tilted) bakes the correction in permanently.

A 180° rotation fixes footage from upside-down mounts or dashcams. Horizontal and vertical flips are useful for mirror-image footage — front-facing cameras record a mirrored view that some pipelines need flipped.

What stays the same

The tool applies a geometric transform without re-encoding the video stream. Resolution, codec, audio track, frame rate, and file size are all preserved. Output is MP4 with the video at the new orientation and the audio track intact.

Format support

MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, and AVI. Any file your browser can decode can be rotated here.

Common pitfalls

The most common confusion is rotation versus metadata-only orientation. Some tools (VLC, QuickTime) write an rotate flag into the container metadata without actually rotating the pixel data — those files play correctly on apps that read the flag, but appear sideways in anything that doesn’t. This tool bakes the rotation into the pixel data, so the output will show correctly everywhere regardless of player.

If you need to rotate a video and remove the audio at the same time, run mute video first (or after) — there’s no loss from doing them in two passes since neither step re-encodes the other property.

Privacy

Everything runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly. No file data leaves your device — no upload, no server, no account. Check your browser’s network panel while the tool runs: zero outgoing requests carry your video data.
