Rotate and Flip Videos Instantly in Your Browser

Are you tired of recording a perfect video only to find out it was shot in the wrong orientation? Whether it is a smartphone clip captured sideways or a webcam recording that appears unnecessarily mirrored, fixing your video's orientation shouldn't be a frustrating process. Our Free Online Video Rotator and Flipper is a powerful, user-friendly tool specifically designed to correct your media's alignment instantly. Built utilizing cutting-edge browser technology, this tool allows you to rotate and mirror videos without installing any clunky desktop software or applications.

Why Use Our Video Rotator & Flipper?

Many online video editing tools force you to upload your large, personal media files to their remote servers. This not only consumes your data bandwidth and takes unnecessary time but also raises serious privacy concerns. Our tool takes a fundamentally different approach. Powered by the industry-standard FFmpeg engine via WebAssembly, our video orientation tool processes your files entirely locally within your own web browser. This means your private videos never leave your device, guaranteeing absolute security, strict privacy, and significantly faster processing times, as there is absolutely no waiting for server uploads or downloads.

Key Features at a Glance

• Comprehensive Rotation Options: Effortlessly rotate your video 90 degrees clockwise, 90 degrees counter-clockwise, or a full 180 degrees.
• Mirror and Flip Effects: Easily flip your video horizontally (to create a mirror effect) or vertically to achieve the exact visual layout you desire.
• Real-Time Visual Preview: Watch your orientation adjustments apply instantly in the built-in video player before you commit to rendering the final file.
• Broad Format Compatibility: Seamlessly import and export popular consumer video formats such as MP4, WebM, and MOV.
• Client-Side Processing: Unmatched privacy and security with zero server uploads required. Your files remain on your computer.

Real Worked Example: Fixing an Upside-Down Smartphone Video

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does this tool reduce video quality?

Applying visual filters like rotation and mirroring fundamentally requires the video to be re-encoded. Our tool is optimized to use a high-quality H.264 encoding preset to ensure your output video retains excellent visual fidelity and remains crisp, without introducing unnecessary compression artifacts or heavy quality loss.

Is my data safe and private?

Yes, absolutely! Because the entire video processing engine runs completely isolated inside your web browser utilizing your device's own hardware, your videos are never transmitted over the internet or stored on external cloud servers. Your privacy is 100% protected.

Which video formats are supported?

The tool supports a wide array of major web-compatible formats including MP4, WebM, and MOV. Even if a specific video codec cannot be previewed natively in your browser's video player, the underlying conversion engine can often still process and rotate the file successfully in the background.

Can I apply multiple transformations at once?

Yes, you certainly can! You are free to combine multiple effects together. For instance, you can rotate a video 90 degrees clockwise and then flip it horizontally. The real-time interactive preview will show you exactly what the final combination will look like before you click export.
