How To Turn A Sound File Into A Video
Pick one image to show on screen
Use cover art, a logo, a photo, a title slide, or any other simple still image.
Upload the image and the sound file
Open Image to Video and add both files so the video can match the audio track.
Choose the resolution
Pick the output size you want, then start the render.
Download and share the video
Use the exported MP4 as it is, or send it through Crop & Resize if you need a different format.
If you only have audio
That is still fine. Just add one simple visual first. A logo, show cover, product image, birthday photo, or plain branded graphic is enough to make the sound file into a shareable video.
Easy use cases
- podcast uploads
- music cover art videos
- company audio updates
- birthday or personal message videos
Good to know
Image to Video is best for one still image and one audio file. If you need a vertical or square version after that, take the finished export into Crop & Resize.
