You no longer have to tilt your head to the side and delete corrupted videos.

Modern gadgets automatically flip video when you shoot in horizontal mode. But if in the first seconds of shooting you held your smartphone vertically, and then changed the orientation of the device, then the video will turn upside down and it will be inconvenient to watch it. Fortunately, these tools allow you to flip your videos.

We need the Google Photos app. If this program is not already installed on your device, download it from Google Play. Open the video you want to edit in it. Then click on the second icon from the left in the bottom menu and use the Rotate button until the video is in a suitable position.

Don't forget to save the result at the end.

This cannot be done using standard iOS tools. But you can use third-party programs from the App Store. One of the easiest apps in this category is Rotate & Flip Video. The program is free, but it shows ads.

To rotate the video in Rotate & Flip Video, open it in the application: for this use the icon in the form of a camera. Then press the button with the number 90 until you are satisfied with the result.

You can also flip the video horizontally or vertically using the adjacent buttons. When you're done, just click Save - after the commercial, the new video will appear in the film.

Alternatively, you can use the Google Photos app mentioned above. You can flip videos in it on iOS in the same way as in the Android version of the program.

If you do not want to install additional software, you can use one of the special web services. This method is suitable for any device except for iOS gadgets. But only small rollers can be turned over in this way.

Let's take as an example the Rotate My Video service, which supports videos up to 250 MB. Click Pick Video and download the desired file from the device. Then use the arrows below Rotation to flip the image. Change the aspect ratio in the Ratio section if necessary. When done, click Rotate Video, and on the next page click Download.

After a few seconds, the inverted video will download to your device.
