Rotate a sideways video: common questions
Why is my video sideways?
Many phones save video in landscape and note separately how to rotate it. If an app ignores that note, it shows it sideways. Rotating it here puts the rotation inside the picture, so it looks the same everywhere.
Does it lose quality?
It is saved again up to 1080p and at 30 frames per second, at high or medium quality. A 4K original is saved at 1080p and one recorded at 60 fps ends up at 30.
Is the sound kept?
Yes. The sound is kept (re-encoded when the video is saved); only the picture changes.
Is it free?
Yes. The free tools in this guide run in your browser and add no watermark.
