LyricTime is a web-based lyric syncing and video creation tool that automatically aligns song lyrics to audio with frame-accurate timestamps. Upload an MP3 or WAV file, optionally paste your own lyrics, and the AI model transcribes and syncs every line and word. From there, you can export clean subtitle files (LRC, SRT, VTT) for use in video editors like YouTube, CapCut, Premiere, and DaVinci, or build a complete lyric video in the built-in studio with word-level karaoke highlighting, reactive backgrounds, and your own footage or branding.
What is LyricTime?
LyricTime is a browser-based lyric syncing and video creation tool that uses AI to automatically match song lyrics to audio. It takes an MP3, WAV, or M4A file as input, along with optional lyrics text, and produces timed lyrics that can be exported as subtitle files or rendered into finished MP4 lyric videos. The platform runs entirely in the browser and is developed by LyricTime.
Key Features
- AI sync — Upload an MP3 and get lyrics synced automatically in about 90 seconds; if you provide lyrics, sync takes 1–2 minutes; without lyrics, transcription adds 4–5 minutes.
- Multiple export formats — Export timed lyrics as LRC, SRT, or VTT subtitle files compatible with YouTube, CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci, and other editors.
- Word-level karaoke timing — Time every word individually for bouncing-word highlighting, with a drag-and-drop word editor for fine-tuning.
- Lyric video studio — Build a complete lyric video in the browser with line or word highlighting, artwork, presets, reactive visualizers, and Ken Burns motion; export as MP4.
- Add lyrics to your own footage — Upload a performance, music video, or visual loop and render perfectly timed lyrics directly over it.
- Timeline editor — Drag line start and end points directly on the waveform, listen in context, and nudge difficult sections.
- Playback controls — Slow down playback to 0.5× or 0.75×, quick skip 1/5/10 seconds, spacebar play/pause, focus mode, auto-scroll, and click-to-seek.
- Reuse timing — Copy timing from one chorus and paste it onto others; edit lyrics in a text view while timings stay locked; find & replace across all lyrics.
