Free online video rotator

Rotate a sideways video online

Turn a video 90 degrees left or right, or flip it 180 degrees. The correction happens privately in your browser and downloads as a compatible MP4.

Private processing, directly in your browser

Your video never leaves your device. There is no account, upload queue, or VidPatch watermark.

Rotate a video

What this tool does

Phone and camera orientation data is not always interpreted correctly by every app. Rotating the actual video frames creates a version that displays in the intended direction more consistently.

Choose 90° right, 90° left, or 180°. VidPatch creates a new MP4 without sending the source video to a server.

How to use it

  1. Choose your video

    Select the sideways or upside-down MP4, MOV, or WebM file.

  2. Choose the direction

    Turn it 90° right, 90° left, or flip it 180°.

  3. Rotate and download

    Let your browser process the file, then download the corrected MP4.

Tips for a better result

  • Use the preview to identify the direction before processing.
  • A 90° rotation swaps the video width and height.
  • For Shorts, Reels, or TikTok, rotate first and then use the 9:16 tool if needed.
  • Keep the original until you have checked the corrected file.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my phone video sideways?

Some apps ignore or misread the orientation metadata saved by a phone or camera. Re-encoding the rotated frames can make the direction consistent.

Does rotating reduce video quality?

VidPatch re-encodes the file for compatibility, so a small quality change is possible. The settings are designed to keep the result clear.

Is my video uploaded?

No. The rotation runs locally in your browser and the source file is not sent to VidPatch.
