Rotate a Sideways Video

Phone clips often save on their side. Rotate 90° clockwise, 90° counterclockwise, or 180°, then download an MP4 with the original audio still attached.

When a Clip Is Saved Sideways

Rotation changes the picture orientation. It is not a mirror flip, so text stays readable.

Portrait or landscape

A 90° turn swaps width and height, which is what a sideways phone recording needs.

Three turns, not a mirror

Clockwise, counterclockwise, or 180°. Letters and logos stay the right way around.

Privacy-first

Everything runs on your device in the browser—your originals stay private.

Files You Can Rotate

Phone videos, screen recordings, and downloaded clips.

Video inputs

MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, MPEG, and other common video files up to 300 MB each.

Video output

Export as MP4 (H.264) or WebM. Audio stays with the clip when a track is present.

The download name shows the turn, for example clip_rotated.mp4.

Sideways Video Questions

Rotation versus mirror, and what happens to the soundtrack.

How do I fix a video that plays sideways?

Add the clip, choose 90° clockwise or counterclockwise until the picture is upright, then click Rotate Video. No account is required.

Are my files uploaded to your servers?

No. Processing runs locally in your browser. Your files are processed on your device and are not sent to Videoradius servers.

Is rotate the same as mirror?

No. Rotate turns the frame. Mirror flips it, which reverses text. For a left-right flip, use the video mirror tool.

Does rotation change the audio?

No. Only the picture turns. The soundtrack stays in sync when the file has one.

What is the maximum file size?

Each video can be up to 300 MB. Larger or longer files may take longer depending on your device, browser, and resolution.

Can I rotate a long 4K phone video here?

Clips up to 300 MB can be rotated in the browser. Larger files are faster in the Videoradius Video Converter desktop app, which uses GPU acceleration.
