How to use the Music Visualizer
Everything runs locally in your browser — your audio and media stay on your device. A faster PC generally means smoother previews and faster, better quality exports. Start by using the Open the Music Visualizer button.

Prefer to learn by watching? Here’s a short walkthrough showing the basic workflow from upload → style → export.
Upload your audio
Load an MP3, WAV or OGG. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
- Longer tracks are fine (exports run in real time).
- If your file won’t load, try re-exporting as MP3 (CBR) or WAV.
Choose a visual style
Pick a visualizer style, then fine-tune effects like glow, blur, pulse, thickness and position.
Add background media
Add a video or image background. Short clips are ideal and will loop smoothly.
- Recommended Video clip length: 5–15 seconds (looped)
- Match background image resolution to export size for best quality
- For a clean look, use low-motion footage + let the visualizer do the movement
Add text overlays
Add artist name, track title and extra info. Drag overlays to position.
- Keep text inside “safe” margins (avoid edges if uploading to TikTok/Reels).
- If you use glow, keep it subtle — it compresses better on YouTube.
Export for best quality
- 30 FPS recommended for most music videos
- 60 FPS uses more CPU and may drop frames on slower machines
- Keep this tab visible during export (background tabs can be throttled)
- If export is slow: lower resolution, reduce blur/glow, or enable fast export mode
Troubleshooting (common issues)
Preview stutters / export drops frames
- Lower resolution (e.g. 1080p → 720p)
- Reduce blur/glow (these are expensive effects)
- Close other tabs/apps, keep laptop plugged in
- Try Chrome or Edge for best performance
Nothing happens when I export
- Make sure audio is loaded and you see the waveform / levels moving
- Keep the tab in the foreground during export
- If you’re on battery saver / low power mode, disable it
