Rotate smartphone videos 90°, 180°, or 270° and mirror flip recordings with synchronized audio and zero quality loss.
Smartphones sometimes lock orientation incorrectly, resulting in videos recorded horizontally that play back sideways, or front-facing webcam clips that appear mirrored. Correcting the rotation angle fixes the playback orientation for all media players.
Worked example: Fix a phone video that recorded sideways in 90-degree portrait mode
Input
A video that plays sideways with heads pointing toward the left of the screen.
Expected result
A right-side-up video that displays upright on televisions, computers, and social platforms.
Applying a 90-degree clockwise rotation fixes the orientation permanently inside the video stream.
Before you use the result
- Check whether your video needs a 90-degree or 270-degree turn.
- Verify that the audio remains in sync with the picture after rotation.
- Preview on both mobile and desktop screens to ensure it displays upright.
If the result is not what you expected
Black bars appear on the sides of my rotated video.
Rotating a vertical phone video onto a landscape canvas naturally creates black pillarbox bars to fill the wide screen. This is normal whenever aspect ratios differ from the display.

Pro Tip for Best Output Quality
Rotating 90 degrees swaps the width and height dimensions of the video (e.g. 1920x1080 becomes 1080x1920).
