YouTube Visualizer for Singles, Albums and Long Mixes
Turn a single, an EP or a long mix into a 16:9 video that moves with the music. Export 1080p, or 4K where your browser supports it, straight from the tab.
Free exports are 720p and up to 6 minutes each. Longer files and clean 1080p need a paid option.
How it works
From file to finished video in three steps.
- 01
Load the track or the full mix
Drop an MP3, WAV, M4A or FLAC file with its cover art. Previews play locally, so even a long mix starts without an upload.
- 02
Pick a 16:9 style
Bars suits beat-driven tracks, while Halo and Orb suit slower ones. Every style takes its palette from your artwork, and Creator or Pro adds your logo.
- 03
Export and publish
Download an H.264 MP4 at 720p free or 1080p with a paid option, then upload it to YouTube as a standard video.
Long Play
One visualizer for the entire record, not a 30-second teaser
A YouTube visualizer usually runs for the full length of the track, or the whole record, so it has to hold attention for minutes rather than seconds, and it lives next to a description, chapters and an end screen. music2video renders in your browser: free exports run up to 6 minutes, Creator up to 20 and Pro up to 120 minutes per export. Long or 4K renders depend on your device's memory, and an hour-long mix can exceed what some browsers handle; server rendering is planned for later. Two helpers for the upload itself are on the way.
Length that matches the release
Free exports run up to 6 minutes, Creator up to 20 and Pro up to 120 per export. Very long or 4K renders depend on device memory.
Chapter timestamps · coming soon
Paste a tracklist and get chapter timestamps as plain text you can copy straight into the YouTube description.
End-screen safe area · coming soon
A guide will mark the closing area where YouTube end-screen elements usually sit, so the visual's focal point stays clear of them.
Content ID, explained before you upload
If your distributor registered the track with Content ID, your own video can be claimed. Allowlisting your channel with the distributor usually prevents that.
Who it's for
Built for the way you release.
Artists premiering a single
Give the official audio upload a moving visual that matches the cover, instead of a still image.
Producers with beat tapes and long sets
Put a whole tape or a long set of your own productions into one 16:9 video; Pro covers exports up to 120 minutes.
Labels and channel managers
Keep one look across a catalog of uploads with your logo on every video. Pro includes a commercial license for client work.

FAQ
Questions about this tool
1080p (1920×1080) in 16:9 is a solid default: it looks sharp on laptops and TVs and keeps file sizes manageable. If your artwork is high resolution and your browser supports 4K encoding, a 3840×2160 export gives viewers on large screens a cleaner picture. Free exports are 720p; 1080p starts with Single HD at $4.99, and 4K comes with the Release Kit or a plan, where your browser supports it.
Yes, within plan limits and your device's capacity. Free exports cover up to 6 minutes, Creator up to 20 minutes and Pro up to 120 minutes per export. On most desktops exports run faster than real time, but rendering happens in your browser, so a long or 4K export depends on available memory and some devices will struggle with an hour-long file. If that happens, export the album in parts or at 1080p. Server rendering for long projects is planned for later.
Coming soon. You will paste a tracklist and get chapter timestamps as plain text, ready to copy into the YouTube description, where YouTube turns them into chapters. Until then, write the list by hand: it has to start at 0:00, and YouTube sets a minimum number and length of chapters, so check its help page before publishing a long mix.
It can, even when you own the music. If your distributor registered the track with YouTube's Content ID, the system may match your upload and claim it on your behalf, which can place ads on the video or route revenue through the distributor. Most distributors let you allowlist (whitelist) your own channel; do it before you publish, or dispute the claim with proof of ownership. This is general guidance, not legal advice; your distributor's help pages have the exact steps.
Monetization is decided by YouTube under its Partner Program policies, not by us. You need the rights to the music and the cover art, and YouTube reviews channels for originality, so an audio-reactive visual built from your own artwork is a stronger starting point than a static image. Watch for Content ID claims on your own tracks, as explained above. We can't promise that a channel or video will be approved.
Not for previews or browser exports. The file is decoded, analyzed and encoded inside your browser tab, and the MP4 is saved straight to your device. That also means closing the tab stops an export in progress, so keep the page open until a long download finishes. If you work with unreleased material, this setup keeps the master on your own machine.
The watermark is removed on any paid option: Single HD ($4.99, one song at 1080p), the Release Kit ($9.99, three aspect ratios) or a plan. Adding your own logo is part of Creator ($12 a month or $96 a year) and Pro, which suits channels that publish regularly. Monthly billing is available on both, and you can cancel anytime without a yearly lock-in.
