1Upload the MKV videos that came out the wrong way round.
2Pick a turn of 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
3Apply the rotation; the pixels and the orientation flag are reconciled so every viewer agrees on which way is up.

Rotate MKV FAQ
Anything specific to MKV I should know?
+
Yes — MKV places no restriction on what is inside it, so an edit has to carry every audio, subtitle and chapter track across rather than assuming one of each. It is the kind of thing that explains why a file looks right in one application and wrong in another.
Can I rotate a whole batch in one go?
+
Several files in one job need a paid plan. Free use is one file per conversion, one conversion an hour. On a paid plan you can add several files to one job, then download each result on its own or all of them in one ZIP.
How does Rotate MKV turn the file?
+
Concretely, a rotation flag is written into the container where the target supports one, which needs no re-encode at all; where it does not, the frames are transposed and the stream is re-encoded once. Quarter turns and half turns are the common case and take the cheapest path available for the format.
Does Rotate MKV cost anything?
+
No. Rotate MKV is free without an account, and the output has no watermark, corner logo or intro card. The upload and the result are deleted automatically about 24 hours after the job, which leaves time to download the result.
What can I upload to Rotate MKV?
+
MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, WMV, FLV, 3GP, M4V, MPEG and MPG. The container and codec are probed before anything runs, so a mixed batch is handled correctly per file rather than assumed to be uniform.
Is there a file size limit on Rotate MKV?
+
Yes: free accounts process video up to 40 MB per file, by far the most generous cap on the site; ffmpeg with x264, x265 and libvpx does the work, which is the same toolchain behind most desktop video software. Video is the one family where the cap is high enough that upload time, not the limit, is what you will actually notice.
Why does a MP3 site host Rotate MKV?
+
MP3.to is built around the format that made portable audio ordinary: universally playable, small enough to ignore, and lossy in a way that only matters if you keep re-encoding it. Audio jobs cluster: the same person who needs a format changed usually needs the file cut, levelled or made smaller in the same sitting. Putting Rotate MKV behind the same upload, the same caps and the same account is what turns three tabs into one.
What should I do with the result once Rotate MKV is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves audio between MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, OGG and Opus, so the output format is a decision you can leave until the end rather than commit to at the start. Doing that after Rotate MKV rather than before means the encode happens once, on the file you actually settled on, instead of twice.
Is Rotate MKV here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same ffmpeg build, the same workers, the same limits. What a MP3 site adds is a point of view about bitrates, about what survives an encode and about when a lossless intermediate is worth the upload time. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: MP3 frames are fixed-size blocks, so a cut lands on a frame boundary and gapless playback markers do not survive a re-encode.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account is needed. Uploads and results are kept for about 24 hours, which leaves time to download the result, and are then deleted automatically; nobody reads, lists or indexes them. Several files in one job need a paid plan.
