How it works

How to rotate a video on Mac or Windows

  1. Drop the sideways clips

    One or a whole batch. MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and M4V all work.

  2. Turn, flip or tilt

    Pick 90° clockwise, 90° counterclockwise or 180°, mirror it, or tilt by a custom angle. A live preview shows the result.

  3. Save upright copies

    Each clip saves as an MP4, with its sound carried over.

Choose the fix

Upright, mirrored or straight.

Quarter turns swap width and height cleanly, so a sideways phone clip comes back as a true vertical. A custom tilt keeps the frame size, so the corners are trimmed and filled with black.

  • 90° clockwise

    Sideways footage, back upright.

    Best for phone clips that play on their side.

  • Flip horizontally

    A mirror image of the clip.

    Best for selfie videos where text reads backwards.

  • Custom angle

    A fine tilt, up to 45° either way.

    Best for straightening a crooked horizon.

The alternative

Why not rotate it in the app that came with your computer?

QuickTime on a Mac can turn and flip a clip, and it is already installed. It stops at one clip and quarter turns.

Questions

Before you download

More answers in the help center.

Is it really free?

Every tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.

Is the sound kept?

Yes. Only the picture turns. The audio comes along with every clip.

Can it fix sideways video?

Yes. A quarter turn puts a clip shot in the wrong orientation back upright, cleanly swapping width and height.

Can I correct a small tilt?

Yes. The custom angle tilts the clip by up to 45 degrees either way, filling the exposed corners with black.

Can I mirror the footage?

Yes. Flip horizontally to mirror a selfie video, vertically, or both, on top of any rotation.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.

Does one license cover Mac and Windows?

Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
