Real frame rotation
The output does not rely only on orientation metadata that another player may ignore.

When to use each rotation
90° Clockwise — use when a phone recording is rotated 90° left (video appears to lean left when playing).
90° Counter-clockwise — use when a phone recording is rotated 90° right (video appears to lean right).
180° — use for upside-down footage, or to vertically flip a recording.
Note: rotating 90° swaps width and height. A 1920×1080 horizontal video becomes 1080×1920 after a 90° rotation.
Frequently asked questions
Which direction should I choose to fix a sideways video?
If your video appears rotated 90° clockwise when you play it (leaning right), choose "90° Counter-clockwise". If it appears rotated counter-clockwise (leaning left), choose "90° Clockwise". For upside-down video, choose 180°.
Does rotating change the video quality?
Rotation re-encodes the video. There is a small quality cost, but it is minimal at the WebM VP9 quality level used.
What format is the output?
Output is WebM (VP9). To convert to MP4, use the Video Format Converter tool after rotating.
Will 90° rotation change my video dimensions?
Yes. Rotating 90° or 270° swaps width and height. A 1920×1080 video becomes 1080×1920. This is correct behavior — the content is now physically oriented correctly.
Does it upload my video?
No. All rotation happens locally in your browser. Your video never leaves your device.
Orientation correction
Rotate frames and media metadata as one result
The visual frames, output dimensions, filename, MIME type, duration, and audio remain synchronized after the orientation fix.
90° / 180° / 270°
Supported turns
Width and height swap
Quarter turns produce the correct portrait or landscape dimensions.
Audio retained
The sound stream continues with the newly oriented picture.
Know before you process: Rotation corrects orientation; it does not straighten a slightly tilted horizon or stabilize camera roll.
