Rotate Video

FAQ

• What does "rotating" a video mean?

  Rotating a video changes its orientation. Think of it like turning the video frame clockwise or counter-clockwise. This is often done in specific increments like 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 270 degrees.

• Will rotating my video affect its quality?

  Simple rotation (90°, 180°, 270°) itself is a geometric transformation that shouldn't inherently degrade quality if the video were lossless. However, when you rotate a video using a tool, it usually requires re-encoding the video. The quality of the output depends on the export settings you choose (resolution, bitrate, compression). If you export at the same or higher quality settings as the original, the visual degradation should be minimal. Using lower settings will reduce quality.

• Will rotating my video change its dimensions (width and height)?

  Yes, rotating a video by 90° or 270° will swap its width and height. For example, a 1920x1080 (horizontal 16:9) video rotated 90° will become 1080x1920 (vertical 9:16). Rotating by 180° or 360° (or 0°) keeps the original width and height the same.

• What video formats can I rotate?

  Our tool supports most popular video formats, such as MP4, MOV, AVI, WMV, and more. Please check the tool's specific compatibility list.

• Is video rotation reversible?

  Once you save and download the rotated video, that new file is permanently rotated. However, your original video file remains unchanged unless you explicitly overwrite it. If you need to undo the rotation, you can take the newly rotated video and rotate it again (e.g., rotate a 90° rotated video by 270° to get back to the original orientation).
