Stop manually timing lyrics line by line. Upload your audio, and our AI creates perfectly synced LRC files fast.
LRC (LyRiCs) is the industry-standard format for synchronized song lyrics. It's a simple text file that pairs each line of lyrics with a timestamp, telling music players exactly when to display each line.
The timestamp format is [mm:ss.xx] where mm is minutes, ss is seconds, and xx is hundredths of a second.
LyricTime generates standard LRC with line-level timing. Each line of lyrics gets a timestamp for when it should appear. This is the format supported by most music players, car stereos, and distribution platforms.
We split lyrics at natural sentence and phrase boundaries so they read naturally — perfect for lyric videos, subtitles, and sing-along displays.
Generate perfectly timed LRC files in three simple steps.
Drop your MP3 file (up to 15MB). Our AI analyzes the audio to detect vocals and timing.
Our AI transcribes and timestamps every word automatically. Review and fine-tune if needed in our visual editor.
Download your LRC file. We also support SRT and VTT exports if you need them.

For occasional use, manual creation works. But if you're releasing music regularly or working with multiple tracks, automatic generation saves hours of tedious work.
Choose the right format for your use case. LyricTime exports all three.

Line-by-line. Each lyric line appears at the exact moment it's sung. We split lyrics at natural sentence boundaries so they read naturally — perfect for music players, subtitles, and karaoke.
Most major distributors including DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, and LANDR accept LRC files. Check your distributor's help docs for specific upload instructions.
Yes! LyricTime includes a visual editor where you can adjust timing, edit text, and preview changes before exporting. You can also edit the raw LRC file in any text editor.
LRC files support optional metadata tags like [ti:Title], [ar:Artist], [al:Album]. These are helpful for organization but not required for the lyrics to work.
Accuracy depends on audio quality. Clear vocals typically achieve excellent results. Heavy vocal effects or multiple overlapping voices may need manual adjustment in the editor.
