Frequently asked questions about Video Rotate
What video formats are supported?
Major browser-playable formats including MP4, WebM, and MOV are supported.
Does rotation reduce video quality?
Minimal re-encoding keeps quality loss to a minimum, maintaining near-original quality.
Why does my phone video look sideways only on the computer?
Phones record the frame in its native orientation and simply write a rotation flag saying "play this turned by so many degrees." Phones and modern players read that flag and show the clip upright, while some editors and web players ignore it and play the raw orientation. Rotating and saving here turns the actual pixels, so the file then looks the same wherever you open it.
How do I fit a vertical video into a horizontal YouTube frame?
Rotating alone will not fix it — turning the clip 90 degrees just lays your subject on its side. To place a vertical video in a horizontal frame you either pad the sides, fill them with a blurred copy of the footage, or crop tightly around the subject and re-frame to the wider ratio. YouTube accepts vertical video as it is, so uploading as Shorts or in portrait costs the least quality.
How to get the most out of Video Rotate?
Sideways phone videos usually carry rotation only in metadata; rotating the pixels fixes every player.
Shorts and Reels are 9:16, so re-framing a landscape clip beats simply turning it on its side.
Rotating forces a re-encode and costs a little quality, so keep the original file around.
