Rotate Video 90° / 180° / 270° — Free
Turn a wrongly oriented video by 90, 180 or 270 degrees and save a new MP4. The frames are rotated and re-encoded rather than merely changing an orientation display tag.

How to use this tool
Choose the clip and angle after checking the original direction. Captions or logos already burned into the picture rotate with the entire frame; the tool cannot independently straighten only that text.
Results and examples
Verify the output orientation, dimensions and audio playback. Video is re-encoded as H.264 while audio copying is attempted, so the source audio format can affect compatibility with the MP4 container.
Worked example
Correct a clockwise-sideways recording with a 270° turn and inspect faces and embedded captions. A 90° turn of 1920×1080 frames exchanges width and height into portrait orientation.
Limitations
- Video pixels are transformed and re-encoded as H.264 rather than merely changing orientation metadata.
- Audio is copied, so its compatibility with MP4 needs separate checking.

Frequently asked questions
Do burned-in subtitles rotate too?
Yes. All content already in the frame rotates together.
Does the voice pitch change?
Rotation itself does not change audio speed or pitch.
