About this Rotate Video tool
Phones decide the orientation when you start recording, so it's easy to end up with a sideways video. Some players fix it on the fly, but many apps and TVs don't.
This tool actually rotates the picture and re-encodes it, so the video plays the right way up in every app, not just on your phone.
How to use Rotate Video

Frequently asked questions
Will the video lose quality?
Re-encoding uses high quality settings, so the difference is hard to see.
Can I rotate an iPhone video?
Yes, MOV files are supported.
How long does it take?
About as long as the video plays, often faster.
Is my video uploaded?
No. The whole job runs inside your browser using your device's built-in video encoder, so the video never leaves your device.
