Rotate Video
Rotate a video 90°, 180°, or 270° clockwise.
Fix the orientation of a video recorded in the wrong direction. Choose your rotation and download.
Videos recorded on a phone held sideways or upside-down often arrive with the wrong orientation. Some players read the embedded rotation metadata and display correctly; others ignore it and show the video sideways. Rotating permanently bakes the correct orientation into the pixel data so it works everywhere.
Unlike image rotation, video rotation always requires re-encoding because the frame dimensions change (a 1920×1080 video rotated 90° becomes 1080×1920). We re-encode using H.264 at CRF 23 for a good quality-to-size balance.
Audio is preserved unchanged through the rotation process — only the video stream is affected by the rotation filter.
How to use Rotate Video
