As manufacturers keep improve the lens on Android devices, more and more users enjoy taking videos with their handsets. The big problem is the orientation. Sometimes, you take a video in portrait mode. To change it to landscape mode, you have to rotate the video on Android phone. This guide will tell you the best ways to get the right orientation from your video before sharing on social media or editing.
The easiest way to rotate a video on Android is the Google Photos app. According to a recent survey, majority of people rely on Google Photos to back up videos and photos on Android phone. The cloud service is not only free of charge, but also offers bonus tools including a simple video editor. The steps below display the how-to of the rotating feature in Google Photos.
1. Install the Google Photos app from Play Store and sign in your account. Google gives every account 15GB storage for free.
2. Open the Photo Gallery app from app tray, find and select the video with wrong direction. Tap the Share icon and choose Upload to Photos or relative option. If your smartphone is online, the video will go to your Google account.
3. Switch to the Google Photos app, go to Videos album, find and open the uploaded video. Tap the Edit icon at the bottom, and tap Rotate until the video is oriented the way you want.
4. When you are satisfied, tap the Save button at upper right side.
To rotate a video on Android with Google Photos, you must upload it to the cloud service. After rotating, you need to download the video again. We suggest you to do it through a Wi-Fi network instead of cellular data.
Vid.Fun is a free video editing app for Android, which is offered by Fonelab. It has various editing features, including rotating, cutting, cropping, looping, etc. When you use the Android app to rotate a video, you can rotate this video to 90/180/270 degrees. Or you can swipe the screen with your fingers to customize the rotation angle. Besides, you can apply other visual effects after rotating.
