Turn any song into a synced lyric video. Upload it or pick one you made here — the lyrics sync themselves, you choose the look.
It turns a song into a video where every line of the lyrics appears exactly when it is sung. Upload any recording and the lyrics are written down and synced for you; pick one of four styles, check the preview, and export a 1080p MP4 for YouTube, TikTok or Instagram. No video editing and no typing out lyrics by hand.
Each clip is a straight export from this lyric video maker, cut to twelve seconds: songs made on MakeASong, lyrics synced automatically, with the free-plan watermark left on.
The Small Road
Lines scroll up and fill word by word.
One for the Recipe
A few huge words, the sung one lights up.
节拍跳起来 (Mandarin)
Cover art on a spinning record.
Where the Avenues Empty
One calm line on a drifting colour field.
Every style also exports in 16:9 for YouTube and 1:1 for the Instagram feed.
Upload an MP3, WAV or M4A, or pick a song you made on MakeASong. Uploaded songs are transcribed in about 10 to 30 seconds; songs made here are synced instantly from the lyrics they were sung with.
Every line shows when it starts. Click a time to hear that line, fix a misheard word in place, delete ad-libs you don't want on screen, or nudge everything by a tenth of a second.
Pick a style, a font, an accent colour and the format for where you'll post it. The preview plays the whole song; export when it looks right and download the MP4 from My videos.
All four styles work in every format and with every font. Fast, wordy songs read best in Scroll; short hooks hit hardest in Poster.
Write or paste lyrics on Lyrics to Song, or describe an idea on the AI Song Generator, and you get two full sung takes in about a minute. Back here, those songs appear under My songs with their lyrics already synced word by word, so the video is ready to style straight away.
No. Upload the song and we write the lyrics down for you, each line synced to when it is sung. You then read them over and fix any word the transcription misheard; the timing stays where it is. Songs made on MakeASong skip this step entirely because we already know the words and when each one is sung.
In our tests on English, Japanese, Korean and Chinese songs, about 93% of sung words were recognised and 95% of lines started within half a second of the singing. Mandarin is the weak spot: words that sound alike can come back as the wrong characters, so read Chinese lyrics through once before exporting. Use the ±0.1 s buttons if every line is a touch early or late.
Switch to tap-sync: paste the lyrics, press start and tap the space bar (or the button on a phone) as each line begins. We pull every tap back by a fifth of a second to make up for reaction time, and you can undo the last tap or start over.
Picking a style, editing the lyrics and watching the full preview are free. Exporting renders a 1080p MP4 on our servers and costs 20 credits, whatever the song length or format. New accounts get 80 free credits, and if a render fails the credits are returned automatically.
Videos exported on free credits carry a small makeasong.io mark in the corner. Buy any credit pack or plan once and the Remove watermark switch unlocks for every lyric video you export from then on, including after your plan ends.
Vertical 9:16 for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels, widescreen 16:9 for YouTube, and square 1:1 for the Instagram feed. Every export is a 1080p H.264 MP4 with the song's audio, which every platform and video editor accepts.
Yes, upload any MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG or FLAC file up to 8 minutes and 20 MB. Only upload music you have the right to publish: we add lyrics on top of the recording and never change the music, so the usual rules for posting someone else's song still apply.
Automatic lyrics work for most major languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. The video styles load matching fonts for Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters, so lyrics never fall back to empty boxes.
