Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my phone video sideways?
Phone cameras often record in landscape orientation but store a rotation flag in the metadata. Some players ignore this flag, showing the video sideways. Rotating the actual video frames fixes this permanently.
What rotation options are available?
Five options: 90° clockwise (most common fix for sideways videos), 90° counter-clockwise, 180° (upside-down fix), horizontal flip (mirror), and vertical flip.
Will rotation affect video quality?
The video is re-encoded during rotation, which causes minimal quality loss. We use high-quality H.264 encoding with CRF 23 to ensure the output looks virtually identical to the original.
Can I rotate and compress at the same time?
Not in a single step. First rotate your video here, then use our Video Compressor to reduce file size if needed.
Does flipping mirror the video?
Yes. Horizontal flip mirrors the video left-to-right (like looking in a mirror). Vertical flip turns it upside-down. These are different from rotation.
Fix Sideways & Upside-Down Videos
One of the most common video problems is incorrect orientation — videos recorded on phones that appear sideways or upside-down when shared or uploaded. This happens because phones store rotation as metadata, which many players and platforms ignore.
Our rotate tool physically transforms the video frames, ensuring correct orientation everywhere — every player, every platform, every device. No more sideways videos in presentations, on websites, or in social media uploads.
When to Use Each Option
Use 90° clockwise for videos that appear rotated to the left. Use 90° counter-clockwise for videos rotated to the right. Use 180° for upside-down recordings. Use horizontal flip to create a mirror image (useful for selfie camera corrections). Use vertical flip for specialized editing needs.
