How to Rotate Video Free — Fix Sideways and Upside-Down Videos

Why Videos End Up Sideways

Phone recordings often encode rotation metadata instead of actually rotating the pixel data. Some platforms read this metadata correctly; others ignore it, displaying the video sideways. Screen recordings can also capture in unexpected orientations. Rotating the actual video data fixes the problem permanently.

1. Open the Rotate Video tool
2. Upload your sideways video
3. Click the rotation button (90° clockwise, 90° counter-clockwise, or 180°)
4. Preview the corrected orientation
5. Download the fixed video
