Lyric Video Maker
Lyric video maker
Turn a song into a synced, shareable lyric video.
Upload a song or a video and VidMints listens to the vocals and writes out the lyrics with the exact timing already attached, so you skip the slow job of typing and syncing every line by hand. From there you fine-tune the words, nudge the timing and pick how it looks — a premium moving background, your own image or video, or the original footage with lyrics on top — then render a finished lyric video you can post to YouTube, Reels, TikTok or Shorts. It works for music, covers, poetry and spoken word, in portrait, square or landscape, and everything happens in your browser with nothing to install.
Make a lyric video →What is Lyric video maker?
A lyric video puts a song's words on screen in time with the vocals, and building one by hand is famously tedious — you type out every line, then scrub back and forth pinning each one to the exact second it is sung. VidMints removes that grind. Upload the song or video and it transcribes the vocals automatically, delivering a first draft where the words are already time-aligned to the audio. The slowest part of the job is essentially done before you touch anything.
From that draft, you are in a full editor rather than a rigid template. You can correct any misheard words, split or merge lines, add or remove them, and nudge the start and end times until each line lands precisely on the beat. The look is yours to shape too: choose a reusable animated background — gradient, aurora, particles, neon and more — upload your own image or video, or keep the original footage and lay the lyrics over it.
Styling covers the details that make a lyric video feel intentional: font, size, colour, position, shadow and a karaoke-style highlight that lights up words as they are sung. Because it renders to any aspect ratio, the same project can become a 16:9 YouTube upload, a 9:16 Reel or Short, or a 1:1 feed post, with the lyrics reflowing to fit. You preview the whole thing first, then export a finished video — all in the browser.
Why use Lyric video maker?
Fans expect to read along, and a lyric video is one of the most reliable ways to keep listeners engaged and boost a song's reach — but the manual version can take hours of syncing for a three-minute track. Automating the transcription and timing turns that into minutes, while still leaving you full control over wording, look and pacing. Whether you are releasing original music, posting a cover, or setting poetry and spoken word to visuals, it is the fastest route from an audio file to something worth posting.

Who it's for & example uses

Tips for the best results
- Upload a clean audio mix where the vocals sit clearly above the instrumental — it produces a far more accurate first-draft transcript.
- Proofread the auto-generated words before styling, since fixing lyrics early is quicker than reworking a nearly-finished video.
- Pick the aspect ratio for your target platform before you fine-tune layout, so the text position and reflow are right from the start.
- Use the karaoke-style highlight for sing-along music, but consider a simpler line reveal for spoken word where every word carries weight.
- Play the full synced preview end to end before exporting to catch any line that appears a beat early or late.
Frequently asked questions
How does the lyric video maker work?
Upload a song or video and VidMints transcribes the vocals into time-synced lyrics automatically. You review the words and timing, choose a background and text style, preview the result and export a finished lyric video.
Can I make a lyric video from audio only?
Yes. Upload just an MP3 or WAV and VidMints builds the synced lyrics, then you add a background and style to create a full lyric video without any original footage.
Can I use my own background?
Yes — pick one of the built-in animated backgrounds or upload your own image or video, and it's fit to the aspect ratio you choose.
Can I edit the lyrics and timing?
Yes. The editor lets you fix wording, split and merge lines, add or remove lines and nudge the start and end times so every line syncs to the vocals.
What formats can I export?
You can render a finished lyric video, and also export the lyrics as SRT, LRC or plain text captions if you need them separately.
Do I need to install anything?
