Free Lyric Video Maker

Turn your song into a lyric video that moves with the music. Load the track, paste the lyrics, tap the space bar on each line, pick a style and export an MP4 for YouTube, TikTok or Reels. The song and lyrics stay on your device.

How it works

How to make a lyric video in three steps

No timeline, no keyframes. You bring the song and the timing; the engine does the typography, the motion and the cuts, snapped to the beat.

1
Load your song

Drop in the audio file: MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC or OGG. It is read by your browser and never uploaded, and the beat is detected so cuts can land on it.
2
Paste the lyrics and tap in time

Paste the lyrics, one line per line, then play the song and press Space as each line starts. Made a mistake? Press Backspace, or click the line and tap it again. Already have an LRC file? Paste it and skip this step.
3
Pick a style and export

Choose a style, press Surprise me for a new variation, pick 16:9 or 9:16, and export an MP4 in 720p or 1080p. The video is rendered on your computer.

Styles

Lyric video styles, rendered by the editor

These clips are real exports from our engine, not mock-ups. Each style is a system of type, motion and cuts rather than a fixed template, so every seed gives a different video. Press play to see a few seconds.

Editorial style frame: the word "staying" in large black italic serif type on a red bar, under a small "late nights", on paper and pale pink — Editorial Magazine typesetting on paper and vermilion: giant serif words, cut-out collage, film strips and tickets, mask and slice reveals, italics on the word that matters. Music: “Is It Right?” by Lower Loveday, licensed CC BY-SA 3.0. Excerpt, lyrics animated by MotionLyric. This clip is an adaptation and is itself released under CC BY-SA 3.0.

Glitch / Neon style frame: the word "BREATHE" in glowing cyan outline capitals under a small "IN AND", with echoes of the line to each side, inside teal neon frames — Glitch / Neon Condensed capitals on a neon grid: LED marquees, glitch grids, ribbons and tunnels, 3-D slams and whip cuts, RGB split that pulses with the beat. Music: “Bad Side” by Rxbyn, licensed CC BY 3.0. Excerpt, lyrics animated by MotionLyric.

Soft style frame: the words "i want you to feel" as plum balloon letters on strings gathered to one point, on a pale lilac sky — Soft / Emotional Lower-case italics that float and breathe: tickets, film strips, ribbons and chat bubbles in dusk pinks. Words blur in and light up as they are sung. Music: “Feel (Stripped)” by Cortéz, licensed CC BY 3.0. Excerpt, lyrics animated by MotionLyric.

Kinetic MAD style frame: "BAD SIDE" in heavy black and blue type, "SIDE" ringed by a circle, over crossing blue, red and black tapes printed "BAD SIDE" on a pink halftone — Kinetic MAD Heavy type that squashes on every beat: keycaps, tape crosses, tickets and glitch grids, whip and spin cuts, flash frames. Animated on twos, like a Japanese lyric MV. Music: “Bad Side” by Rxbyn, licensed CC BY 3.0. Excerpt, lyrics animated by MotionLyric.

Paper & Collage style frame: the word "understatement" handwritten on a postcard with a stamp and a postmark, on a dark desk — Paper & Collage The line on real things on a desk: record sleeves, cassettes, polaroids, sticky notes, stamps and postcards, in a warm serif and a handwritten hand, stop-motion on threes. Music: “Is It Right?” by Lower Loveday, licensed CC BY-SA 3.0. Excerpt, lyrics animated by MotionLyric. This clip is an adaptation and is itself released under CC BY-SA 3.0.

Screen / UI style frame: "when you don't" typed into a search box, the word being sung in blue, above a list of autocomplete suggestions — Screen / UI The lyric as an interface: typed into a search box or a code editor, pushed as a notification, subtitled, shown on a lock screen and a station sign, with cursors, play bars and like counters. Music: “Feel (Stripped)” by Cortéz, licensed CC BY 3.0. Excerpt, lyrics animated by MotionLyric.

Kinetic Type style frame: "AND I CAN'T STOP" in heavy black capitals on the white faces of a cube with an orange top, on black — Kinetic Type Pure moving type in a wide geometric face: words ride see-saws, crash head-on, reflow, fall like dominoes and step up in size, in black, white and one signal orange. Music: “Bad Side” by Rxbyn, licensed CC BY 3.0. Excerpt, lyrics animated by MotionLyric.

Horror / Found Footage style frame: the Japanese words 立たないで ("don't stand") in pixel type on the static-filled screen of an old television, the last character in red — Horror / Found Footage Found-footage dread: CCTV feeds, a torch beam in the dark, missing posters, redacted files and a spirit board, in a worn old-print face and a VHS timecode, with slow dissolves and tremble. Timed to an excerpt of “Feel (Stripped)” by Cortéz, licensed CC BY 3.0. The Japanese lyrics are our own test text, animated by MotionLyric.

FAQ

Lyric video maker questions

Is this lyric video maker free?

Yes. While MotionLyric is in testing, both 720p and 1080p exports are free, with a small motionlyric.com watermark in a corner of the video. There is no account and no sign-up. Paid extras such as automatic syncing and watermark-free export are planned for later; tap-to-sync and a watermarked export are meant to stay free.

Is my song uploaded anywhere?

No. Reading the file, finding the beat, syncing, previewing and encoding the MP4 all happen inside your browser. The audio and lyrics never reach our servers. Your project is saved in your browser’s storage on this device so you can close the tab and come back; "New project" clears it.

How do I sync the lyrics to the music?

Open step 03, press Start and tap the Space bar the moment each line begins. Press Enter where a line stops before an instrumental gap, Backspace to undo, or click any line to redo from there. If you already have an LRC file with timestamps, paste it into the lyrics box and the timings are used as they are.

Which browsers can export the MP4?

Desktop Chrome, Edge and Safari. Export uses the browser’s built-in video encoder (WebCodecs), which most phones and some browsers do not offer yet; there you can still sync and preview, and the editor tells you when export is not possible. On Safari older than version 26 the video is saved without sound and the song comes as a separate WAV file.

How long does exporting take?

It depends on your computer and the style. In our tests on a recent laptop, a four-minute song took between one and four minutes at 1080p. Keep the tab open and in front while it renders.

Can I post the video on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram?

Yes. The file is a standard MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio) that all of them accept. Choose 9:16 for Shorts, TikTok and Reels. You need the rights to the song and the lyrics you use, for example because you wrote them or have the owner’s permission; see our terms.

What lyric formats can I paste?

Plain text with one lyric line per line, or LRC files with [mm:ss.xx] timestamps, including repeated timestamps for choruses and word-level "enhanced" LRC. Section labels such as [Chorus] or [Verse 2] are skipped automatically, and you can copy your synced lyrics back out as LRC.

Does it work with AI-generated songs from Suno or Udio?

Yes, as long as you have the audio file and are allowed to use it under that service’s terms. MotionLyric does not import from links; you load the file you downloaded.
