Rotate Video

Turn a sideways video upright — lossless for MP4.

Fix a Sideways Video in One Click

A phone held the wrong way records a sideways video, and many apps show it that way forever. Open it here, turn it left, right or upside down, and save. For MP4 and MOV files the fix is instant and lossless: the video already carries a rotation flag that players obey, and only that flag is changed — the picture data is not touched, so the size and quality stay exactly the same.

Mirroring (a selfie that should read the right way round) and vertical flips change the picture itself, so those — and any WebM file — are re-encoded by your browser’s recorder in real time.

Frequently asked questions

How can rotation be lossless?

MP4 and MOV files contain a display matrix that tells players how to orient the picture. Changing it rotates the video in every standard player without touching a single frame.

Why does mirroring take longer?

A mirrored picture is different pixels, so it has to be re-encoded. That happens in real time with your browser’s encoder.

Will the rotated video play everywhere?

Every modern player and platform honours the rotation flag — phones, browsers, YouTube, WhatsApp, QuickTime and VLC.

Does it work for long videos?

Yes. The lossless path only reads the file’s index, so a one-hour video rotates as quickly as a short clip.

Why does my video still look sideways in one app?

A few older players and some video editors ignore the rotation flag. For those, choose a flip or mirror as well, or use Video Converter afterwards, which re-encodes the picture so it is upright on its own.
