How to Rotate a Video on an iPhone or iPad for Free

We’ve all made this mistake before: You’ve just recorded a gorgeous 4K video of a beautiful or important moment, only to realize later that your video was accidentally shot in portrait mode instead of landscape. Thankfully, this digital faux pas is easily corrected right from your iPhone. While you used to have to employ iMovie or a third-party app, in iOS 13 and later you can easily rotate your video to display in landscape mode using the editing tools in the Photos app.

We’ll show you how to rotate a video on an iPhone using the editing tools in Photos, and also how to do it with iMovie. But if those methods don’t suit you, then check out our app suggestions at the end.

How to rotate in Photos

1. Open the Photos app, find the video you want to rotate, and tap on it.
2. Tap on Edit in the top right corner.
3. Tap on the crop tool icon at the bottom.
4. You can swipe along the ruler at the bottom to adjust the angle.
5. There’s also a rotate icon at the top that will rotate the video 90 degrees.
6. When you’re happy with it, tap Done and the new video will be saved.

It’s as simple as that, but if you’re looking for more, or you haven’t upgraded to iOS 13 yet, then read on for alternative methods.

How to rotate a video with iMovie

1. If you don’t have iMovie installed already, open the App Store and search for it, then tap Get and wait for it to install.
2. Open the iMovie app and tap Create Project.
3. Tap on Movie.
4. Tap on Create Movie at the bottom of the screen.
5. Tap + to add videos, then tap Video, then All and double tap on the video you want to rotate.
6. You should see your video at the top with the timeline below. You need to place two fingers or a finger and a thumb on the video and then twist and swipe them left or right to rotate the image. Don’t worry if it isn’t right the first time — you can keep rotating it with the same motion.
7. When you’re happy with the orientation, tap Done in the top left.
8. Finally, tap Share (the upward arrow icon in the middle) at the bottom of the screen and choose where you want to save it to or share it.

Once you’ve installed iMovie, you can also edit and rotate videos using it as an extension in the Photos app. Here’s how:

1. Open the Photos app and find the video you want to rotate.
2. Tap Edit at the top right.
3. Tap the three ellipses in the circle at the bottom and select iMovie.
4. If iMovie isn’t there as an option, then tap More and toggle it on.
5. Use the two-finger or finger and thumb twist motion to rotate your video.
6. Tap Done when you’re happy with it and it will be saved the right way up in the Photos app.

Alternative third-party apps

There are a few video-rotating apps in the Apple App Store that you might want to try. Video rotate + flip video easy is completely free and pretty straightforward, though like most free apps it features slightly invasive advertisements.

If this is an issue you run into frequently, then you may feel Video Rotate and Flip is worth the $1 investment. The nice thing about it is that it also works as an extension in the Photos app. It can handle backward text, too, and it exports directly to the Photos app.
