How to Turn Cover Art Into a Video for YouTube and Facebook

Use one image and one audio file to create a simple music video from cover art for YouTube, Facebook, and similar platforms.

If you have cover art and a song, you can turn them into a simple music video with Image to Video. This works well for YouTube, Facebook, and similar platforms where you want a video format instead of only an audio file.

Quick steps

How To Make The Video

  1. Upload the cover art

    Add the album art, single artwork, or music cover image you want on screen.

  2. Upload the song

    Add the audio track so the video runs for the full song length.

  3. Choose your output size

    Pick the resolution that fits the platform where you plan to post.

  4. Render the export

    Download the final video and upload it to YouTube, Facebook, or another channel.

Why this is useful for musicians

  • You can publish a song in video format quickly
  • You can reuse artwork you already made
  • You do not need motion graphics to make a simple release video

Good next step

If you want the same music release for a vertical social format, run the finished export through Crop & Resize.
