Rotate a video
on iPhone, privately.

A video shot on a different phone, an old camera or handed to you by AirDrop sometimes plays on its side. Filemorph rotates it on your iPhone in a few taps, and the fix is permanent in the file, not just how one app happens to display it.

Filemorph rotating a video on iPhone

Some players auto-rotate a sideways video and some do not, which means a clip that looks fine on your phone can still play sideways once you send it somewhere else. The safest fix is to rotate the actual frame data, so the video looks right no matter what opens it next.

Filemorph reads the video's orientation and lets you rotate it 90 degrees at a time using Apple's AVFoundation, writing the correction directly into the output file. The audio track and timing stay untouched — only the picture turns.

How to rotate a video on iPhone

Pro
  1. Add your video. Open Filemorph and pick the sideways video from Photos, Files or the Share sheet.
  2. Choose a rotation. Tap Rotate and pick 90, 180 or 270 degrees until the preview looks right.
  3. Save or share. Tap Convert. The corrected video saves locally, right side up wherever it plays next.

In the app: Rotate.

Why rotate a video before sending it?

A sideways video is a small annoyance to watch once and a bigger one every time someone reopens it. Rotating the file itself, rather than relying on a viewer's auto-rotate, means it looks right in Messages, in an email attachment or dropped into another app's timeline.

Is it private?

Yes. Unlike web converters that upload your files to a server, Filemorph converts every file locally using Apple's frameworks. Nothing leaves your device, and it works with no internet connection. This operation is part of Filemorph Pro ($29.99/year, 7-day free trial on monthly and annual plans).

FAQ

Video → Rotated video — common questions.

Will rotating crop or resize the video? +

No, rotation only changes the orientation of the frame data. The full frame is preserved at its original resolution, just turned.

Is video rotation a free feature? +

No, Rotate is part of Filemorph Pro ($29.99 a year, 7-day free trial on monthly and annual plans).

What if the video is only slightly tilted, not fully sideways? +

Rotate moves in fixed 90-degree steps. Straightening out a small tilt frame by frame is not something this tool does — Rotate is meant for video that is 90, 180 or 270 degrees off.
