Rotate & Flip Video

Fix sideways phone footage, mirror selfies for front-camera correction, or flip clips for creative symmetry. Rotate 90°, 180°, or 270° and optionally flip horizontal or vertical — then export a upright MP4 ready to publish.

Rotation metadata from phones is not always respected by every player; re-encoding guarantees the picture displays correctly everywhere.

How to rotate or flip a video online

1

Upload mis-oriented clip

Common with mobile screen recordings and DSLR secondary angles.

2

Choose rotation

90° clockwise/counter-clockwise, 180°, or flip axes.

3

Preview

Confirm text and logos read correctly after transformation.

4

Process locally

FFmpeg applies transpose filters and re-encodes.

5

Download upright MP4

Upload to platforms without relying on rotation metadata flags.

Common use cases

  • Phone video fixes

    Clips shot in portrait but tagged as landscape display correctly after rotation.

  • Mirror correction

    Flip horizontally so text on shirts or whiteboards reads naturally.

  • Social symmetry edits

    Flips pair with reverse and loop tools for trend edits.

  • Security camera footage

    Reorient CCTV exports before sharing with teams.

Best practices

  • Rotate before cropping so aspect presets calculate on the correct orientation.
  • 180° fixes upside-down drone shots faster than re-shooting.
  • Combine with compress when rotated 4K files are huge.
  • Check subtitles after rotation — burned-in captions rotate with the picture.
  • Keep originals until you verify the export on desktop and mobile players.

Formats & compatibility

Outputs MP4 H.264. Rotation requires re-encoding. Flip operations swap width/height on 90°/270° rotations. Works on MP4, MOV, WebM inputs in modern desktop browsers.

Frequently asked questions

Rotate turns the canvas 90/180/270 degrees. Flip mirrors horizontally or vertically like a reflection.
One rotate pass at default quality preserves detail. Avoid rotating the same file many times.
Yes — we bake rotation into pixels so all players show it correctly.
Yes if your device has enough RAM; encoding 4K locally takes longer.
Audio stays in sync; only video orientation changes.
Never — rotation is fully client-side.
