How to make a lyric video for free (step by step)
- Free 720p
- No sign-up
- Audio never uploaded
- MP4 · 16:9 & 9:16
In short: You need three things: the song file, the lyrics as text, and a tool that times each line and renders video. In this page's editor: upload the song, paste lyrics one line per line, tap Space as each line starts, choose a style, export MP4. A 3-minute song takes about 5 minutes end to end, and the free 720p version needs no account.
Tap to sync: the song plays, you press Space as each line starts. AI auto-sync listens on your device and lines your words up with the singing — check a few lines after.

How it works
- Prepare lyrics: one sung phrase per line, 3–8 words, no section labels like [Chorus].
- Upload the song and paste the lyrics.
- Tap to sync: press Space at the start of each line while the song plays.
- Review: click any timestamp to jump there and nudge with − / +.
- Style: pick the format (16:9 / 9:16), background, visualizer and font.
- Export MP4 and upload it.
Tips that make lyric videos look professional
Start each line 0.1–0.2 s before it is sung — the eye needs a moment. Use one or two colours from the cover art. Darken busy photos by 30–40% so white text stays readable. Keep one font per video.
