Fix sideways videos

Few things are as annoying as a great video that plays sideways. It happens when a phone is turned at the wrong moment, when a camera's orientation sensor gets confused, or when an app ignores the rotation information stored in the file. This tool rotates the video picture itself, so it plays the right way round everywhere — on computers, TVs, social networks and in editing apps.

Frequently asked questions

Why are some phone videos sideways?

Phones store the orientation as a flag in the video file. If the phone didn't detect the orientation correctly, or an app ignores the flag, the video plays sideways. Rotating it here re-encodes the picture so it's correct in every player.

Which way should I rotate?

If the top of the picture is on the left, rotate 90° clockwise. If it's on the right, rotate 90° counterclockwise. If it's upside down, rotate 180°.

Does rotating reduce quality?

The video is re-encoded at high quality, so the difference is barely visible. The file size may change slightly.

What format is the result?

MP4 (H.264/AAC), which plays everywhere. If your browser can't encode H.264, it creates a WebM file instead.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Rotation happens in your browser and the video never leaves your device.
