# Rotate or flip a video

Rotate Video turns a video by 90, 180 or 270 degrees, and can mirror it horizontally or vertically, then saves the result as a new MP4. The picture is re-encoded to H.264 with AAC audio, which takes a little time. It all runs inside your browser tab, so the video is never uploaded.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Drop the video you want to turn into the file box.
2. Under Turn, choose 90, 180 or 270 degrees, or leave it on None if you only want a flip.
3. Under Flip, choose Horizontal or Vertical to mirror the picture, or leave it on None.
4. Press Rotate video, check the preview, and press Download.

## Questions

### How do I rotate a video 90 degrees?

Drop the video in, choose 90 under Turn, press Rotate video and download the result. A 90 degree turn swaps the width and height, so a landscape clip becomes portrait.

### Does rotating a video reduce its quality?

Slightly. Turning the picture means the video has to be encoded again, here to H.264 at a quality setting meant to look the same to the eye. The audio is re-encoded to AAC too. Keep your original file if you need the exact data.

### Is my video uploaded to rotate it?

No. The video engine runs inside your browser tab and reads the file from your device. ToolSugar's servers never receive it, and closing the tab clears the working copy from memory.

### Why can the first rotation take longer?

Most browsers rotate with the device's own video hardware. If yours cannot, the first run downloads a 32 MB video engine, which your browser then reuses. Re-encoding also takes real time, longer for long or high resolution clips and slower on phones.
