01

Line-by-line timing

Drag lyric lines against the waveform

The classic synced-lyrics workflow: every line matched to the moment it's sung, ready to fix visually in the timeline editor.

Drag block start and end points directly on the timeline.

Listen in context and nudge difficult sections in seconds.

Word-by-word · karaoke

Time every word, not just the line

Go beyond lines with word-level timing — the kind of bouncing-word, karaoke-style highlighting that lights up each syllable exactly when it's sung.

Per-word timestamps for true karaoke highlighting.

Drag any word with the scrubber to fine-tune the timing.

Lyric Video Studio

Don't just export a file — make the whole video

Your timed lyrics become a finished lyric video without ever leaving the browser. Pick a format, drop in a background — or your own footage — add your brand, and render an MP4 ready for YouTube, TikTok, or Reels.

Your own video

Upload your footage and we lay your styled lyrics right on top — one MP4, no editor.

Cinematic motion

Reactive visualizers and style presets with slow Ken Burns movement — no editing skills needed.

Your brand

Add a logo, pick its corner and shape, and save it as a reusable preset.

Frequently asked

Got a question?

How does pricing work?

Pay by the song or grab a bundle. You only pay when you download — if the sync isn't right, you owe nothing. Bundles start from $2 per song for higher volumes.

What file formats does it support?

Upload MP3, WAV, or M4A. Export as LRC for music players and karaoke-style display, SRT for video editors and captions, or VTT for web video.

Is this the same as lyrics with timestamps?

Yes. Lyrics with timestamps, timestamped lyrics, timed lyrics, and synced lyrics all describe the same basic result: each lyric line is matched to the timing of the song.

Can I use LyricTime for Suno or Udio songs?

Yes. Copy the lyrics from Suno or Udio, upload the MP3, paste the lyrics into LyricTime, then export SRT, LRC, or VTT for captions, lyric videos, karaoke, or music players.

Can I use this for Spotify, Apple Music, Musixmatch, or DistroKid lyrics?

LyricTime can help you prepare synced lyrics and timing files, but each platform or distributor controls its own upload, review, and display process.

Which editor should I use?

Use Timeline for visual timing fixes and quick lyric cleanup, Blocks for heavier text edits like split, merge, and find/replace, the Word editor when you need per-word karaoke timing, and Focus when you just want to play the song through and review the final synced lyrics.

Can I do word-by-word (karaoke) timing?

Yes. Beyond line-by-line sync, LyricTime can time every individual word so each syllable highlights exactly when it's sung — the bouncing-word, karaoke-style effect. Fine-tune any word by dragging it in the word editor.

Can I make a lyric video?

Yes. The built-in Lyric Video Studio turns your timed lyrics into a finished MP4 in the browser — pick vertical, social, or widescreen, choose a reactive visualizer, a background, or your own video with the lyrics laid on top, add your brand logo, and export up to 4K. No separate video editor needed.

Why we built this

"I was making videos and music, and every time I needed synced lyrics, I'd import the audio into a video editor and manually adjust lyric blocks. It ate up hours of production time. So I built a tool to handle it automatically."
