Rotate or flip a video

Fix a video that was filmed sideways or upside down, or mirror it so text and faces read the right way.

Turn the video left or right by 90°, turn it 180°, or flip it horizontally or vertically, and watch the result straight away. When you turn it by 90° the saved video becomes tall instead of wide (or the other way round), so there are no black bars.

Selfie videos are often mirrored by the phone. Flip ↔ puts writing and faces back the right way.

What you get

How to rotate or flip a video

  1. Open the rotate tool and choose your video.
  2. Press the rotate or flip buttons until it looks right.
  3. Press Save video.

Tip: In the full editor you’ll find the same buttons on any clip, under Transform, if only one clip in a longer video is sideways.

Questions

Why is my phone video sideways on my computer?

Phones store a note saying which way up the video is, and some players ignore it. Rotating and saving makes the turn permanent, so it plays the right way everywhere.

Can I rotate by a few degrees to straighten it?

Yes, in the editor: select the clip and use the Rotation slider under Transform, then raise Size a little to hide the corners.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Clipabay runs inside your browser, so your video is read and saved on your own computer or phone. Nothing is sent to a server, which is also why there is no upload wait.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no account, no trial, no watermark and no limit on how many files you do. Clipabay is kept going by people who choose to buy us a coffee.
