Most phones don't physically rotate the recorded pixels — they save an "orientation flag" in the file's metadata that tells a player how to turn the frame on the fly. The problem is that not every player reads that flag. Your phone's gallery honors it, so the clip looks correct there, but a desktop player, a website upload, or a different editor may ignore it and show the raw, sideways pixels. That mismatch is why the same file can look right in one place and wrong in another. The fix is to bake the rotation into the actual frames so there's no flag left to interpret. This tool does exactly that on export: pick your rotation, and the corrected orientation is rendered into the video itself so it plays the right way up everywhere.

Rotating turns the entire frame around its center by a quarter turn at a time — 90°, 180°, or 270° — which is what you need when footage was shot sideways or imported upside down. Flipping mirrors the frame across an axis without turning it: a horizontal flip swaps left and right, and a vertical flip swaps top and bottom. The key practical clue is text. Rotation keeps text readable, just oriented differently, while a flip reverses it like a mirror image. Horizontal flipping is the standard fix for front-camera "selfie" clips where signs and logos read backwards. You can combine both transformations here — for example rotate 90° and flip horizontal together — and a badge shows the current state so you always know what's applied before you export.

The export uses the browser's built-in MediaRecorder, which renders each frame onto a canvas with the rotation and flip baked in, then records that canvas to a file. The format MediaRecorder reliably produces in browsers is WebM, typically using the VP9 codec, so that's what you download. MP4 recording isn't dependably supported across browsers, which is why it isn't offered here. WebM plays natively in modern browsers and on most platforms, and it uploads fine to major social and video sites. If you specifically need an MP4 — for an app or device that won't accept WebM — convert the downloaded file afterward with a free desktop tool like HandBrake, which takes seconds. Upload your clip, apply your rotation or flip, and download the corrected WebM straight from your browser.

Export time roughly matches the length of your clip. Because the tool captures frames by actually playing the video through while recording the canvas, a 60-second video takes about 60 seconds to export, and a two-minute clip takes about two minutes. This real-time approach is why you need to keep the browser tab open and active until it finishes — closing or backgrounding it interrupts the recording. The live preview, by contrast, is instant: it uses a CSS transform to show the corrected orientation immediately, so only the final download requires the playback pass. Longer videos also lean more on your device's memory, so short and medium clips give the smoothest experience. For best results, trim long footage to just the part you need before exporting, then apply your rotation and download.

No. When you apply a 90° or 270° rotation, this tool swaps the video's width and height so the output canvas matches the new orientation exactly. A portrait clip that's taller than it is wide becomes a correctly proportioned landscape frame, not a squeezed or stretched one, because the frame dimensions are recalculated rather than forced into the original aspect ratio. A 180° rotation keeps the same dimensions since it only turns the frame upside down. The preview shows the true proportions before you commit, so you can confirm the result looks right. Flips never change dimensions either — they only mirror the existing frame. Apply your rotation, check the live preview to verify the framing, and the exported file will carry those exact proportions baked in.
