Rotate Video
Upload a video and rotate it by 90 degrees clockwise, 180 degrees, or 270 degrees clockwise (which is the same as 90 degrees counter-clockwise). The tool uses ffmpeg's transpose filter to rotate the video frame, keeping the audio track intact.
This is useful for fixing videos recorded in the wrong orientation — for example, a phone video that plays sideways on a computer, or a screen recording that needs to be flipped for a presentation.
Everything runs in your browser using ffmpeg.wasm — your video is never uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between 90 and 270 degrees?▼
90 degrees clockwise turns the video so the top edge becomes the right edge. 270 degrees clockwise (or 90 counter-clockwise) turns the video so the top edge becomes the left edge. 180 degrees flips the video upside down.
Does rotation re-encode the video?▼
Yes — the video track is re-encoded because the pixel layout changes. The audio track is copied without re-encoding.
Can I rotate a video that's already rotated via metadata?▼
Yes. Some videos (especially from phones) are stored in landscape but have a metadata rotation flag that tells players to display them in portrait. This tool physically rotates the pixels, so the result will display correctly everywhere regardless of metadata support.
