How to use this tool

Give your video the orientation you want before the next edit or upload. Rotate Video offers 90-degree clockwise and counterclockwise turns plus horizontal and vertical flips. Select the transformation, create the MP4 and inspect the processed picture to confirm that people, objects and on-screen wording face the intended direction.

  1. 01

    Check the source orientation

    Add a playable clip up to 120 seconds and 100 MB. Look at people, objects and readable text to identify the direction you want to change.

  2. 02

    Choose rotate or flip

    Select clockwise or counterclockwise for a 90-degree turn. Choose horizontal or vertical flip when you want to reflect the picture along that axis.

  3. 03

    Export and review the result

    Create the MP4 and play the transformed video. Check both the opening and later movement, then download the version with the intended orientation.

Use a quarter turn for sideways footage

A clockwise or counterclockwise turn rotates the picture by 90 degrees. This is useful when the source appears sideways and a quarter turn places the subject upright. The turn swaps the frame's width and height, so review how the new orientation fits the place where you intend to publish the clip.

Use flips for reflected compositions

Horizontal flip exchanges the left and right sides of the picture, while vertical flip exchanges top and bottom. A reflected view can suit a specific visual treatment or restore a desired arrangement. Check any signs, product labels and titles because text in the picture reflects with the rest of the scene.

Review the complete transformed movement

The transformation applies across the whole exported clip. Play the result through changes in camera position and subject movement so you can inspect the orientation throughout. When a source includes sound, the MP4 keeps the audio alongside the transformed picture for the playback review.

Prepare the final frame shape as a next step

After the direction is correct, the clip may benefit from a vertical, square or landscape layout for a particular placement. Use the Video Resizer to choose that shape and compare fit with fill. Keeping orientation and output composition as clear steps makes the final result easier to inspect.

Frequently asked questions

What is a rotate video tool?

Rotate Video changes the orientation of a clip's picture. SocQ offers 90-degree turns and horizontal or vertical flips, with a processed MP4 preview and download.

How do I rotate a video 90 degrees?

Add the clip, select clockwise or counterclockwise and export. Review the processed picture to confirm the subject now faces the intended direction.

How do I flip a video horizontally?

Choose horizontal flip and create the MP4. The output reflects the picture left to right, including objects and text already present in the frame.

What does vertical flip do?

Vertical flip reflects the picture from top to bottom. Play the processed result to check the composition and any on-screen wording.

Will a 90-degree rotation change the frame dimensions?

Yes. A quarter turn swaps width and height. A landscape source becomes a portrait-shaped frame, while a portrait source becomes landscape-shaped.

Will the rotated MP4 include audio?

The export includes source audio when an audio track is present. Review the completed video with sound before downloading.

How long can the video be?

Use a playable source up to 120 seconds and 100 MB. Review the original orientation first, then select the transformation that fits your goal.

How can I prepare a square version afterward?

Download the correctly oriented MP4 and open the Video Resizer. Choose 1:1 and compare full-frame fit with centered fill for the final composition.
