Why use the by-URL entry point?

Skip the upload step

When your video is already hosted online, pass the URL directly. No need to download it locally just to upload it again.

No CORS restrictions

The server fetches the video on your behalf, so browser CORS policies never get in the way.

Shareable and linkable

The URL contains everything needed to open the video in the rotator — share the link with a teammate and they see the same video instantly.

Fits into automated workflows

Build the URL programmatically and embed it in a script, webhook, or CMS integration to rotate videos without manual intervention.

Same rotator, different entry point

Once loaded, you get the full rotation experience — live preview, flip controls, H.264 MP4 output — exactly as if you'd uploaded the file manually.

Nothing stored on our servers

The video is fetched and forwarded to your browser in one pass. We never write it to disk or retain it after the request.

1

Build the URL

Start with /video/rotate-video/by-url and append ?url= followed by the video's address.

2

The video loads automatically

The page fetches the video server-side and opens the rotator with it pre-loaded — no upload dialog.

3

Rotate and download

Choose your rotation, preview it live, hit Rotate video, and download the corrected MP4.

  • Videos are never stored — fetched and forwarded in a single request.
  • URLs and videos are not logged, inspected, or retained.
  • No sign-up needed — construct the URL and go.
