Rotate a video online, free

Drop a clip that came out sideways or upside down and turn it the right way. For MP4 files the rotation is written as metadata, so the export is instant and the picture is untouched. Flips and a baked-in rotation are rendered on your device.

Works in Chrome, Edge and Safari 17 or newer. Nothing is uploaded.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop your video

    MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV. It opens instantly because nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2

    Turn or flip it

    Rotate left, right or 180 degrees, flip horizontally or vertically. The preview shows the result.

  3. 3

    Export and download

    A metadata rotation takes a second. Flips are re-encoded on your device.

Questions people ask

Why is the rotation instant?

MP4 and MOV files can carry a rotation flag that every modern player respects. The tool sets that flag and copies the video as it is, with no re-encoding.

My player ignores the rotation. What can I do?

Turn on "bake rotation into pixels". The video is then re-encoded on your device with the picture physically turned, which works everywhere.

Can I mirror a video?

Yes. Flip horizontal mirrors it left to right, flip vertical turns it upside down. Flips are always rendered.

Do you upload my video?

No. The tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file stays on your device.

Which browsers are supported?

Chrome, Edge and Safari 17 or newer on desktop and Android. Firefox does not support the video APIs the tool needs yet.
