A video rotator fixes footage that's recorded or saved in the wrong orientation — sideways clips from a phone held the wrong way, or upside-down recordings from certain cameras — by rotating every frame to the correct viewing angle.

Choose from rotating 90° clockwise, 90° counter-clockwise, a full 180° flip, or a horizontal/vertical mirror flip, and the tool re-renders your video with the new orientation applied to every single frame, so it plays correctly in any player from then on.

This differs from simply relying on a player's rotation metadata (which some phones set instead of physically rotating the pixels) — because we actually redraw each frame in the new orientation, the fix works consistently across every device, website, and video player, even ones that ignore rotation metadata.

This is especially useful for correcting sideways videos recorded accidentally in portrait mode when landscape was intended (or vice versa), mirroring a video for creative or presentation purposes, or fixing footage exported upside-down from certain drone or action cameras.

The horizontal and vertical flip options are true mirror-image flips (useful for correcting front-camera 'selfie' recordings that appear reversed), while the rotation options change the video's orientation by 90° or 180° without mirroring the image.

If you're unsure whether your footage needs a 90° or 180° correction, play the original file first in the preview above — comparing what you see against what you expect makes it easy to pick the right option, and you can always try one rotation, check the result, and switch to another if the first guess wasn't quite right.

Selfie-camera footage in particular is prone to appearing mirrored compared to how you saw yourself while recording, since front cameras typically show a live mirrored preview during recording but often save the file un-mirrored — our horizontal flip option corrects this common mismatch.

It's worth noting that some platforms, including certain video players and editing tools, already read a video's rotation metadata correctly and display it right-side-up automatically, while others ignore that metadata entirely. Using this tool to physically bake in the correct rotation guarantees consistent playback everywhere, regardless of how well a given app or website handles rotation metadata.

After rotating, always double check the preview before downloading a long video — since rotation changes the video's dimensions, it's worth confirming the final orientation looks correct on the device or platform you intend to share it on, particularly if you plan to upload directly to a specific social app.

Because this operation only changes orientation and never re-encodes at a lower quality setting, you can safely run it on your best-quality source footage without worrying about any visible degradation afterward.

In short, whether the issue is a sideways phone recording or a mirrored selfie clip, this tool fixes the orientation permanently in one pass.

A quick fix for a common annoyance — sideways or mirrored footage, corrected in seconds.

Once corrected, the new orientation is permanent and will display correctly everywhere the file is opened.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my video sideways in the first place?

Phones and cameras often record video with orientation stored as metadata rather than physically rotating pixels; some players honor this metadata and some don't, causing inconsistent playback.

Does rotating change the video's aspect ratio?

Yes, rotating 90° swaps the width and height, turning a landscape video into a portrait video and vice versa.

What's the difference between rotate and flip?

Rotating turns the frame around a point (like turning a photo), while flipping creates a mirror image — useful for correcting reversed selfie-camera footage.

Will this affect video quality?

Rotation and flipping are lossless geometric operations with no meaningful quality impact.
