Rotate Video is a free online tool to rotate or flip a video the right way up. It runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device — nothing is uploaded. There's no sign-up, no watermark, and it works on any modern browser on desktop or mobile.
How to use Rotate Video
Rotate Video fixes sideways and upside-down clips by rotating 90°, 180° or flipping horizontally and vertically — right in your browser. It's the quick fix for phone videos that recorded in the wrong orientation. No upload, no watermark and no sign-up.

Fix any orientation
Rotate 90°/180° or mirror-flip to set a sideways or upside-down clip the right way up.
Quality preserved
The rotation is applied cleanly without degrading your footage.
Private and free
Processed on your device — no upload, no watermark.
Fix a sideways phone video
Filmed a clip in portrait but it plays sideways on your computer or after uploading? Drop the file in, choose Rotate 90 clockwise or counter-clockwise to turn it the right way up, and download a corrected MP4. It handles upside-down footage too with the Rotate 180 option, so a quick recording shot at the wrong angle is straightened in one step.
Flip or mirror a video horizontally
Webcam and selfie recordings often come out mirrored, so text reads backwards and left and right are reversed. Pick Flip horizontally to un-mirror the footage and put writing the correct way round, or use it deliberately for a mirror effect. There is also a vertical flip for upside-down reflections. Your clip never leaves the browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Permanently bake in the rotation before uploading
Some clips look upright on your phone but turn sideways once shared to YouTube, Instagram or a messaging app, because the rotation is only a metadata flag players ignore. This tool re-encodes the video with the turn applied to the actual pixels, producing a standard H.264 MP4 that displays correctly everywhere — no watermark, and the orientation sticks no matter where you post it.
