What Is Video Rotator?
The Video Rotator is a free browser-based tool that rotates videos by 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Fix sideways phone recordings, change landscape to portrait orientation, or correct upside-down videos. The tool provides a real-time preview of the rotated result before processing. It uses Canvas transformations to rotate each frame during recording, producing a properly oriented output video. All processing happens locally in your browser — your video files never leave your device. Perfect for fixing phone videos that were recorded in the wrong orientation.

Technical Guide
The Video Rotator uses Canvas 2D transformations to rotate video frames. When rotating by 90° or 270°, the canvas dimensions are swapped (width becomes height, height becomes width). The rendering context's transform is set using ctx.translate() to move the origin and ctx.rotate() to apply the rotation in radians. Each frame from the video is drawn onto the transformed canvas, producing the rotated output. The canvas stream (with swapped dimensions for 90°/270° rotations) is combined with the audio stream and fed to MediaRecorder. The tool handles the dimensional changes properly to ensure no stretching or cropping occurs during rotation.
Tips & Best Practices
- 1For 90° and 270° rotations, the video dimensions are swapped (width ↔ height)
- 2Preview the rotation before processing to confirm the correct direction
- 3180° rotation is useful for upside-down videos
- 4Rotation does not affect video or audio quality beyond normal re-encoding
