Lyric video maker
Make lyric videos for TikTok, Reels and Shorts
Upload your song and Soundcave syncs the lyrics to the vocals automatically, word by word. Pick a 5–90 second section, choose a background and a style, and export a 1080×1920 MP4 ready to post on TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. It runs in your browser on a computer or a phone, and you can try it free.
How to make a lyric video
- 1
Upload your song
MP3, WAV, M4A or FLAC, up to 250 MB and 7 minutes — full-quality masters are fine.
- 2
Let the lyrics sync
Soundcave listens to the vocals and writes the lyrics word by word. Paste your lyrics too for better accuracy on fast verses or heavy effects, and fix any word by hand.
- 3
Pick the moment
Choose the hook, the chorus or any 5–90 second section (up to 30 seconds on the Free plan).
- 4
Choose a background and style
Cinematic template clips from the Soundcave library, your own video, or your cover art. Then pick from 8 fonts, colors, and a line-by-line or block lyric layout.

Export and post
Download a vertical MP4 (1080 × 1920 MP4, 30 fps) ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Why lyric videos work on short-form
Most people scroll with the sound off or half-listening. Words on screen give them a reason to stop, let them sing along, and make the hook stick — which is exactly what gets a song saved and shared.
Make several versions of one song
Post the same chorus over different backgrounds, or different sections of the song, and see which one takes off. Shuffle gives you a new template mix in one click.
Smart links included
Every Soundcave plan also includes a music smart link, so the video and the link that sends fans to Spotify, Apple Music and every other platform live in one place.
