A video shot sideways stays sideways until someone fixes it, and most viewers will not tilt their heads for you. This free video rotator turns the picture 90 or 180 degrees in your browser, so the file never leaves your device and no signup is needed. Rotation rewrites the frame so it plays the right way up everywhere, with no black bars and no squashed picture. The honest limits: rotating does not change the frame size, so a portrait clip stays portrait unless you crop it.
