Turn a gift song into a lyric video
A song made for one person is full of names, dates and private jokes. With the words on screen, they catch every line, and there is something to play, send and keep.

Text description of this video
A lyric video in three colourful worlds: a rainbow sky with clouds, a purple sunset over waves, and a burst of blue and teal rays. The words appear with the singing in large letters, and on the peak words the letters gather out of small particles. Small drawings sit beside the words they belong to: keys, a flower pot, a cat, a peach, shoes. An equalizer moves along the bottom edge. The song's audio plays with the video.
Good for songs like these
- A song you wrote and recorded yourself.
- A custom song you ordered from a musician, if they gave you the right to use it this way.
- A song you made with an AI music tool, with your own lyrics.
- A song your family or friends wrote together for a birthday, a wedding or a retirement.
What to prepare
- The finished song as an audio file, and its lyrics as text, one line per sung line.
- Names spelled the way you want them on screen. The video uses your words exactly as you write them.
- A few days to spare, so you can try different looks without a deadline.
How to make it
Upload the song, paste the lyrics and pick a style. You get a free preview of 12 to 15 seconds, and you can try up to 3 free versions of it. When you like it, pay for the full song. After that you can still fix a word and re-render up to 2 times at no charge.
Giving it
The download is one video file in 16:9 widescreen, 1080p, with no watermark. It looks best on a TV or a laptop, and you can send it in a private message too. Save it somewhere safe, because the download link is valid for 90 days.
If someone else made the song
If you ordered the song from a musician or a gift service, check that you are allowed to have a video made from it. Ask them if it is not clear. A well known song by another artist cannot be used, even for a private gift.
Questions
Can it stay a surprise?
Yes. You do everything online with your own account, and the person only sees the video when you show it.
What does it cost?
The preview is free. The full video is $29 per song, paid once. Any tax that applies is calculated at checkout.
Can I add a personal message or photos?
No. The video shows the words of your song in the style you pick. A message can be part of the lyrics if it is sung, and your own photos are not used.
