Quick steps

How To Turn A Sound File Into A Video

1

Pick one image to show on screen

Use cover art, a logo, a photo, a title slide, or any other simple still image.

2

Upload the image and the sound file

Open Image to Video and add both files so the video can match the audio track.

3

Choose the resolution

Pick the output size you want, then start the render.

4

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.
