Follow this practical workflow to turn a song and cover art into a finished visualizer video. You will load audio, choose a visual style, add backgrounds and text, then pick the export settings that fit your device and release plan.
Click the Open Visualizer — Free button to load the Upload Audio Track screen. Use the Choose File button to open the file picker and select your track. Supported formats are: MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG, M4A. Most tracks will load in 5 to 15 seconds.
Once the audio track has loaded, you can pick from 20+ reactive visualizer styles. On the right, open the Visual Style dropdown. Most of the app controls live inside the dropdown panels. Use the purple Play button below the preview window, then try styles such as Bass Ring, bars, and waveform visualizers. Each one responds to your audio's bass, mids, and treble in real time.
Use the Background (Image) dropdown for wallpapers and images. You can upload your own image if needed. Then open the Background (Video) dropdown for built-in videos and video loops. You can also add videos to a playlist. Try clicking a few videos and let them load to test different visual looks.
Open the Branding / Overlays dropdown. Use the Add artist / channel text box to place text onto the preview window, and add your track name into the Track / release title box too. Adjust the font, size, opacity, and colour, then click the Add buttons. Drag the overlays to position them on the preview canvas.
In the Cover art section of the right-side panel, you can upload your own artwork. It appears as a floating image you can drag, resize, and fade.
Open the Export Settings dropdown and use the Device Spec Checker if needed. In the Settings area, choose your canvas size: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or custom. Then click Export Video.
Chrome or Edge can export .mp4 using H.264/AAC where supported. Use the Quick 720p, Quick 1080p, or Quick 4K buttons when you want a fast shortcut. For focused release-week jobs like Spotify Canvas, X Exports, Release Pack, Promo Still Pack, Batch Tracks, and Playlist Maker, use the Release Week dropdown.
720p stays fully free. Free HD exports start with the support watermark on, and after two HD exports the support watermark stays fixed on unless you use a pass. 4K keeps one watermarked test export at no cost per device. A paid pass removes that export friction, adds release-week tools like Spotify Canvas, X Exports, Promo Still Pack, Release Pack, Batch Tracks, and Playlist Maker, and keeps the workflow private for unreleased tracks.
| Shortcut | What it does | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ctrl/Cmd + Z | Undo the last visual change | Works for supported editor controls, not for browser file selection. |
| Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Z | Redo a visual change | Useful when comparing two colour or layout choices. |
| Ctrl/Cmd + Y | Redo a visual change | Alternative redo shortcut on keyboards that expect it. |
| Escape | Close export tool modals | Handy if a modal is covering the editor while you are testing settings. |
Try a standard MP3 or WAV first. Some browser builds cannot decode every AAC, M4A, or unusual WAV variant. If the file came from a DAW, export a fresh 44.1kHz or 48kHz WAV/MP3 and try again.
Safari has different media encoder support from Chrome and Edge. Use 720p/30 fps for a test, avoid long 4K exports, or switch to Chrome/Edge desktop when you need the quality-first MP4 route.
Lower preview quality, disable heavy glow or blur, close other tabs, remove video backgrounds while editing, and use 30 fps. Chromebook and mobile browsers can throttle canvas animation under sustained load; this web app works best on a reasonably powerful desktop computer.
That is expected without a paid pass. The support watermark starts on, and after two 1080p HD exports, it stays fixed on unless you use an active pass. 720p is watermark-free, while clean HD/4K and the extra release-week tools need an active pass.
Presets use browser storage. Private browsing, aggressive cleanup tools, third-party storage blockers, or clearing site data can remove them. Save important project files separately when possible.
Reduce resolution, shorten the export, remove large uploaded video backgrounds, avoid 60 fps, and restart the browser before a long render. 4K full-track exports are desktop jobs, not something every laptop can handle, and the app is not designed for mobile phones or tablets.
No account needed to try it, no installs, no server audio uploads. If you buy the pass, checkout uses your email to send the key.
