How to Make a Lyric Video for Free — AI Syncs the Lyrics for You

2026-11-10

A lyric video shows the words on screen in time with the song. Normally you'd have to time every line by hand in an editor. With LyricLight, you just add your song file and the lyrics and AI does the timing.

You need: a song file (mp3, wav…) and the lyrics (copied text or a PDF). Works best in the latest Chrome or Edge.

1. Add your song

Open LyricLight and drop your song into box ①, or click the box to choose it. Your files are never uploaded — the video is made inside your browser.

2. Add the lyrics

Paste the lyrics into box ②, or drop a PDF or TXT file.

3. Press “Auto-sync with the song”

The AI listens to the song and finds the time for each line. The first time it downloads the AI model, which takes about a minute.

4. Help with unsure lines

If the AI isn't sure about a line, it asks you to check it. Press the spacebar the moment that line starts in the song. The lines in between are re-timed automatically.

5. Pick a background and export

Choose an animated background (bokeh lights, sunset, night sky…), a free photo, or your own image. Press ▶ to preview, then Export → Download to save an mp4.

If a line is slightly off

Open Advanced → Fix timing:

  1. Play the song and pause where the line starts.
  2. Press ⏱ next to that line — the paused time goes right in.
  3. Made a mistake? Press ↶ Undo.
For YouTube Shorts or Reels, choose 9:16 under Advanced → Aspect ratio and set a range (e.g. just the chorus).
