This tool rotates a video by 90°, 180° or 270°, or flips it horizontally or vertically — fixing videos that play back in the wrong orientation, or creating mirrored versions for creative purposes.
Processing happens entirely in your browser using a built-in video processing engine — your video is never uploaded to a server. The first time you use any of our video tools, there's a one-time download of this processing engine (around 30MB), cached afterward for instant use. Rotation and flipping require re-encoding, so processing time depends on your video's length and resolution.
Rotation turns the entire frame around its centre — a 90° rotation swaps width and height, turning a landscape video into a portrait video or vice versa. Flipping creates a mirror image — horizontal flip swaps left and right, vertical flip swaps top and bottom, without changing the video's dimensions.
Phones record video with orientation metadata that tells players how to display the footage correctly — most modern players read this metadata and rotate automatically. However, some platforms, older players, or specific editing workflows don't read this metadata correctly, causing the video to appear sideways. Rotating the video directly (rather than relying on metadata) "bakes in" the correct orientation so it displays correctly everywhere.
A horizontal flip — creating a mirror image left-to-right — comes up in a specific but common scenario: footage recorded from a front-facing camera (a phone's selfie camera, or a laptop webcam) is sometimes mirrored compared to how the scene actually looked, because these cameras often show a mirrored preview while recording (so it feels like looking in a mirror) but may or may not save the file mirrored to match. If text or writing visible in your footage appears backwards, or if a recording of yourself feels like it's the "wrong way round" compared to how you remember the scene, a horizontal flip corrects this. This is also useful for any footage that was filmed via a mirror or reflective surface deliberately, where you want the final result to show the scene the "right way round."
If a video needs both orientation fixing and other edits — trimming, resizing, or compression — the order can matter for how easy each step is. Fixing orientation first means that when you move on to trimming or cropping, the preview you're working with already shows the video the right way up, making it much easier to identify the section or crop area you want. Doing rotation last, after other edits, means you're working with a sideways preview throughout those earlier steps, which can make it harder to judge framing and timing accurately.
If you also need to resize or crop the video after rotating, use Video Resizer & Cropper. To trim the video first, see Video Trimmer.
A 90° or 270° rotation swaps width and height — a landscape video becomes portrait. A 180° rotation keeps the same dimensions.
This usually happens when an app doesn't read the video's orientation metadata correctly. Rotating directly with this tool bakes in the correct orientation so it displays consistently everywhere.
Rotation requires re-encoding, which involves some quality settings, though at the quality level used here, any difference is generally not noticeable.
Files up to 100MB are supported. Larger or longer videos take proportionally longer to process.
