Questions, answered
Why does my video look fine on my phone but sideways on my computer?
Your phone honours the rotation flag stored in the file and the other program ignores it. Rotating here bakes the correct orientation into the frames, so both show it the same way.
Does rotating change the video dimensions?
A 90° rotation swaps width and height, so a 1920×1080 clip becomes 1080×1920. A 180° rotation keeps the same dimensions.
Can I rotate by an angle other than 90 degrees?
This tool handles quarter turns only, because they need no interpolation and lose nothing. Arbitrary angles would require rotating the pixel grid and cropping or padding the corners.
My video is upright but mirrored — will rotating fix it?
No. That is a mirrored image, typically from a front-facing camera, and the flip tool corrects it. Rotation alone cannot undo a mirror.
Does rotation lose quality?
Quarter turns move pixels without resampling them, so the only loss comes from re-encoding the file. At a high quality setting the difference is not visible.
