Lyric video maker: paste your lyrics, watch them sync
Tapemoon is a lyric video maker for songs you own: upload an MP3 or paste a Suno link, add your lyrics, and they sync to the vocals word by word.
What is a lyric video maker?
A lyric video maker turns a song into a video where the words appear on screen as they are sung. Tapemoon is a lyric video maker and lyric video generator built for AI song makers: it lines up the lyrics you paste with the vocal in your track, word by word, then lets you check every line, pick a text style and a background, and export an MP4 for YouTube or TikTok.
How do you make a lyric video from a song?
Four steps, and the timing is done for you. Most songs are synced in a minute or two.
- Add your songUpload an MP3 or WAV of a song you own, up to 8 minutes and 50 MB, or paste a Suno share link.
- Paste the lyricsPaste them as you wrote them; [Verse] and [Chorus] tags are removed. A Suno link brings its lyrics along. No lyrics? Skip this and we write down what is sung.
- Check the timingPlay it back with a live preview. Fix a word, split or join lines, or nudge a line earlier or later.
- Style and exportPick a text style, a background and a highlight color, then export in 16:9 or 9:16.
Paste your lyrics or let it listen
A lyric video generator that only transcribes will mishear words. When you already have the lyrics, the better job is to place them, not guess them.
Your lyrics, aligned
We separate the vocal from the music, find where each word is sung and place your text on it. The video shows your spelling, your line breaks, your words.
No lyrics? It listens
Leave the box empty and the vocal is transcribed instead. Read these lines before you export: fast rap and buried vocals are where words get misheard.
Lines the song skips
AI songs often repeat a chorus or drop a line. Repeats get their own timing, and lines that are never sung are left out; add one back by hand if you want it.
Readable on any background
Five moving gradients, four solid colors or your own photo, darkened a little. The text color is picked so it stays readable, at least 4.5:1 contrast.

Vertical 9:16 with the words large and centered.
Night Bus Static, fast rap verse, Poster style on a moving gradient, 9:16

Lyric video maker FAQ
How do I make a lyric video for my song?
Upload the song or paste a Suno link, paste your lyrics, and the words are synced to the vocal. Check the lines in the editor, pick a style and export.
Is this lyric video maker free?
Yes, for the full song in 720p with a small Tapemoon watermark. Sign in with Google to start. HD without a watermark costs 10 credits per video.
Can I make a lyric video with no watermark?
Yes, with the HD export: 1080p, no watermark, 10 credits once per video. Export again after edits at no extra cost.
Can I paste my own lyrics instead of using auto-transcription?
Yes, and it’s the better choice when you have them. Your text is kept exactly and placed on the vocal, so nothing is misheard.
What if the lyrics are out of sync?
Tap the line’s time to hear it, then move it in 0.1 s steps or set its start and end at the play position. Your edits go into the next export.
Does it work with Suno songs?
Yes. Paste the Suno share link and the audio and lyrics come in together. Your Suno plan must allow the use, such as commercial use if you monetize the video.
Can I make a vertical lyric video for TikTok or Reels?
Yes. Choose 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 16:9 for YouTube.
Can I use my own photo as the background?
Yes. Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB. It’s darkened a little so the words stay readable.
Is there a lyric video maker with no AI visuals?
This one. The video is your words on a color, a gradient or your own photo; AI only finds when each word is sung. Want AI scenes behind the words instead? That’s our AI music video generator.
Do I need to download an app?
No. It runs in the browser on a computer or a phone.
Can I use the lyric video commercially?
Paid plans and credit packs include commercial use. Rights to the song and lyrics stay with you or your music service.
What if the export fails?
Any credits are refunded and your edits are kept, so you can export again.
