It can be very frustrating when you record a video but later find out the video orientation wasn’t the way you want it. If this happens, you don’t have to beat yourself up.
This post on how to rotate a video on Android explains how to rectify the issue as well as the cause of improperly oriented video.
You could end up with a video filmed in the wrong orientation if the phone didn’t rotate its orientation when shooting the video.
The situation can also occur when you shoot a video in portrait mode, but the phone was tilted to the landscape.
Regardless of the condition, this post explains how you can use Google Photos to rotate a video to any orientation you desire.
How to rotate a video on Android?
Google photos often come pre-installed on many Android phones and tablets, especially more recent devices.
If you don’t have the app, however, just go to the PlayStore and install it. After that, proceed with the below instructions.
- Upload the video in question to Google Photos. To do that, follow the following substeps.
-
- Open the Photos App on your Android device.
- Locate the video.
- Long-press the video until a checkmark appears.
- Click the three dots icon that appears at the top-right screen.
- Select “Back up now” from the list that displays next. Relax as the photo gets uploaded to the cloud.
- After that, it’s time to rotate it.
- Jump back to the home screen of the Photos App.
- In the top search bar, type “Videos.” This step will reveal all videos on your device.
- Tap on the video you wish to rotate. If the video opens and starts playing, pause it.
- Next, tap the screen to show video controls.
- Hit the small pencil icon to open the Photos’ edit menu. If you don’t see the pencil icon, find and tap the “slider bar” icon instead.
- Tap “Rotate” until you achieve your desired orientation.
- Hit “Save”.
- Wait for the app to process and save the adjusted version to your device’s gallery.
If you encountered any problem while using the above steps, confirm the video is not downloaded from the internet.

Videos gotten from the internet might not obey the above “rules.” So make sure you personally filmed the video with your phone.
If you want a video downloaded from a web page rotated, then try Rotate Video FX. It is one of the top video rotation Android apps out there.
