What is this tool?
Rotates the video by 90, 180 or 270 degrees, fixing the orientation of files recorded sideways.
What is it for?

- Get a vertical video ready for stories.
- Fix orientation before sending it to someone.
Step by step
- 1Upload the video.
- 2Choose the 90, 180 or 270 degree angle.
- 3Process the file.
- 4Download the video in the correct orientation.
How to use it
Angle
90 and 270 turn the frame, swapping width for height; 180 simply flips the picture upside down.
Framing
A 90 degree turn swaps the frame ratio, so the video becomes vertical or horizontal according to the rotation.
Audio
The track follows unchanged, since only the picture is redrawn.
Examples in practice
Phone video
A video recorded sideways takes 90 degrees and becomes vertical, correct for watching on the phone.
Inverted clip
A file saved upside down takes 180 degrees and returns to normal.
Frequently asked questions
Does rotating hurt quality?
There is a re-recording, so the video goes through fresh compression. The visual effect is usually imperceptible.
Can I rotate by a different angle?
Not in this tool: only 90, 180 and 270 degrees, the turns that keep the picture free of slanted edges.
