Turn a sideways or upside-down clip the right way up — baked into the file, on your device.
Turn a sideways or upside-down clip the right way up — baked into the file, on your device.
Rotate a video in your browser — turn a sideways phone clip upright, spin a 90° or 270°, or flip an upside-down recording to 180°. GhostVideo re-encodes the clip with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, baking the rotation into the video stream and outputting a web-standard MP4 (H.264 + AAC) that displays the right way up in every player and editor — not just the ones that happen to honor rotation metadata. The file never leaves your device, so a private recording rotates without touching a server. No upload, no watermark, no signup, and no length cap beyond your device's memory.
Drop your video
Drag an MP4, MOV, or WebM onto the page or click to browse. It opens in the GhostVideo studio with Rotate pre-selected — nothing is uploaded.
Pick the rotation
Choose 90° (quarter turn right), 180° (upside down), or 270° (quarter turn left) to get the clip the right way up.
Download the rotated video
ffmpeg bakes the turn into the video on your device and the corrected MP4 downloads from your browser — playing upright everywhere.
How do I fix a video that plays sideways?
Drop it here, choose 90° or 270° until it's upright, and download. GhostVideo bakes the rotation into the video stream, so it displays correctly in every player — not just apps that read rotation metadata.
Is my video uploaded to rotate it?
No. ffmpeg runs inside your browser via WebAssembly, so the clip is never sent to a server. Nothing but the engine download touches the network.
Does rotating re-encode the video?
Yes — the frames are physically turned and the clip is re-encoded to H.264 MP4 at near-source quality. That's what makes the rotation permanent and universally visible, rather than a metadata flag some players ignore.
Can I turn a video completely upside down?
Yes — pick 180° to flip a clip that was recorded upside down back to normal.
Why do my phone videos come out sideways in the first place?
Phones record in one orientation and store a rotation flag telling players how to display the footage. Some editors and platforms ignore that flag, so the clip looks sideways — baking the rotation in with this tool removes the ambiguity.
Every GhostVideo tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded — there's no upload endpoint to send it to.
