Overview

Easily correct the orientation of your videos with our online Video Rotate tool. Whether your video was recorded sideways on a smartphone or upside down on an action camera, you can quickly rotate it by 90, 180, or 270 degrees and export it in MP4, WebM, MKV, or its original format without losing quality.

When you need to change a landscape video to portrait orientation, or vice versa, for social media platforms.

1Upload your video file (up to 500MB) into the designated file input area.
2Select your desired rotation angle: 90° clockwise, 180°, or 270° clockwise (which is 90° counter-clockwise).
3Choose your preferred output format (MP4, WebM, MKV, or keep original) and process the video to download the corrected file.
