Spectrum
Frequency bars, analyser curves and strips. The direct way to show a beat or an instrumental hitting.
- Reacts
- Each bar or point follows its own slice of the frequency range, so kicks, bass and hats move different parts.

Product facts
What goes in, what comes out, and where it runs.
| What it is | A music visualiser and video maker that runs in your web browser. Every frame is drawn from your audio by real-time graphics. Nothing is AI-generated. |
|---|---|
| Made for | Independent artists, producers, labels and content creators who need release-quality video for their music. |
| Audio you can add | MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC and OGG. |
| Images you can add | PNG, JPG, WebP and AVIF, for cover art and backgrounds. |
| Video you can add | MP4, MOV, M4V and WebM, as a moving background. |
| Video you get | MP4 (H.264) at a high bitrate, so it still looks sharp after the platforms compress it. On Linux the export is WebM instead. |
| Resolution and frame rate | 1080p at 60fps. Every export, on every account, free or paid. |
| Shapes | Vertical 9:16 (1080 × 1920) for Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Landscape 16:9 (1920 × 1080) for YouTube, using YouTube Mode. No square 1:1 export. |
| Length | Free: up to 15 seconds. Paid: up to 60 seconds vertical, or up to 10 minutes in YouTube Mode. Full limits below. |
| Where it renders | On your own computer, inside the browser. There is no render queue and your audio is not uploaded to make the video. |
| Browsers and devices | Chrome, Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers on a laptop or desktop. Safari, Firefox, phones and tablets cannot export. |
| Watermark | None. Not on the free export either. |
| Price | Premium software. A free account includes one export up to 15 seconds. After that: credit packs from $3.99, Pro at $16.99 a month, or Lifetime at $149 once. All prices in US dollars. |
Free and paid limits
Every account gets every style and the same quality. What changes when you pay is how many exports you get and how long they can run.
| Export | Free account | Paid: credits, Pro or Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Number of exports | One, included at sign-up | One credit per export, or unlimited on Pro and Lifetime |
| Vertical 9:16 | Up to 15 seconds | Up to 60 seconds |
| Landscape 16:9 (YouTube Mode) | Up to 15 seconds | Up to 10 minutes. The file saves straight to a folder you choose. |
| Resolution | 1080p, 60fps | 1080p, 60fps |

Visual styles
Ten ways to show a track
Each style has several customizable presets that are driven by your audio, but not every part of every style is. Where something moves on its own, like a vinyl record or 3D object spinning, it says so.
Waveform
A scrolling waveform, a waveform over your cover art, or the whole song as one strip with a moving playhead. That last one suits a full-length YouTube upload.
- Reacts
- The line is your audio’s waveform, drawn as it plays.
Kaleidoscope
Your waveform mirrored into 3 to 12 segments for a symmetrical, looping pattern.
- Reacts
- The pattern is built from the live waveform.
- Own motion
- The mirror turns at a speed you set.
Vinyl
Your cover art on a spinning record, over a blurred copy of the art, an image or your own video.
- Reacts
- An optional spectrum ring around the disc, as bars, dots or a soft aura.
- Own motion
- The record spins at a speed you set. It does not follow the beat.
Scope
An oscilloscope beam with phosphor trails, tracing your stereo field or plotting generated figures.
- Reacts
- The beam is driven by the left and right channels of your track.
Orb
A chrome form over layered backdrop graphics: scrolling code, HUD marks and linework. Each layer can be switched off.
- Reacts
- The orb splits and blooms on the low end.
- Own motion
- The backdrop layers drift on their own.
Fluid
Liquid colour that the music pushes through the frame.
- Reacts
- Your track decides where the colour flows and how hard.
3D
Upload your own 3D model (.glb) and show it on a turntable over your artwork or video.
- Reacts
- Only the optional waveform overlay.
- Own motion
- The model turns at a set speed. The model itself does not react to the audio.
Spectrogram
Frequency over time, painted as a scrolling heat map. A detailed, technical look for long-form uploads.
- Reacts
- Every column is a moment of your track’s frequency content.
Split View
Two to four visualisers in one frame, in any combination, all locked to the same track.
- Reacts
- Each panel reacts as its style does on its own.
Make it yours
- Cover art
- Use your release artwork on the record, behind the visual or as a blurred backdrop.
- Image and video backgrounds
- Put a still or your own footage behind Spectrum, Waveform, Vinyl, Scope, Orb and 3D. Trim the clip to the part you want.
- Colours
- Set solid colours, gradients and palettes so the video matches the artwork.
- Beat shake
- Kick the whole frame on each hit of your track. What you see in the preview is what you export.
- Trim
- Export the whole track or just the section you want to post.
- Saved presets
- Save a look you like and apply it to the next release.

What artists make with it
Full-length YouTube videos
A 16:9 visualiser for the whole track, up to 10 minutes, so a release has something better on YouTube than a still image.
Vertical promo clips
9:16 clips of up to 60 seconds for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, cut to the section you want people to hear.
Animated cover art
Your artwork on a spinning record or behind a reactive layer, so the cover moves with the song.
Waveform videos
Your song’s actual waveform, scrolling, over your artwork or as the whole track at once.
Lyric videos
Synced lyrics over any style, timed automatically or by hand.
Free access and pricing
Try it free. Pay to keep exporting.
Signing up is free and needs no card. You get the whole editor and one export of up to 15 seconds at full quality with no watermark. That export is there to prove the quality on your own music, not to replace a paid plan.
Step 01
Before you pay
Build and preview with every style for as long as you like. Nothing expires.
Step 02
Your free export
One export of up to 15 seconds, 1080p 60fps, no watermark.
Step 03
After that
You can keep building and previewing. To export again, buy credits or go Pro. Any purchase lifts the length limit to 1 min vertical and 10 mins in YouTube Mode.
| Option | Price (USD) | Billing | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro, monthly | $16.99 | Per month. Cancel any time. | Unlimited exports while subscribed. |

| Lifetime | $149 | One-off payment. | Unlimited exports and every future feature. Limited to 150 licences, 54 left. |
Credits suit releasing in bursts: nothing renews and they sit on your account until you use them. If you post most weeks, Pro works out cheaper. Unused purchases can be refunded within 14 days; see the refund policy. Compare the options on the pricing section of the homepage.
Before you start
Compatibility, privacy and limits
What you need
- Works: Chrome, Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers on a Windows, Mac or Linux laptop or desktop.
- Does not export: Safari, Firefox, iPhone, iPad and Android phones. They cannot yet export video in the browser.
- Linux: exports WebM rather than MP4.
- Speed: depends on your computer. A full-length video takes longer than a short clip because there are far more frames to draw.
Where your files go
- Stays on your computer: your audio, artwork and video, the preview, and the encoding. The finished video saves straight to your computer.
- Leaves it, only if you choose: auto lyric sync sends the selected section of audio, up to about a minute, to be transcribed.
- Stored to run your account: your email, plan, credits and export counts. Payments go through Stripe. See the privacy policy.
What it does not do
Every video is drawn and encoded on your own computer, not on a server. Most of these limits are there so that work does not overload it.
No 4K
Every export is 1080p at 60fps.
Why
A 4K frame has four times the pixels, so it needs about four times the memory and takes at least four times as long to render. On many computers that would crash the tab. 1080p holds up on a landscape YouTube upload, and Reels, TikTok and Shorts are watched on phones, where 4K adds nothing.
No square 1:1
Exports are 9:16 or 16:9.
Why
Every style is designed for the two shapes artists actually post: vertical for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, and landscape for YouTube.
10 minutes maximum
A long DJ mix needs splitting into parts.
Why
Memory use and render time grow with every minute. Past ten minutes, too many computers would run out of memory or take far too long.
Some layouts are vertical only
Split View and waveform over artwork export in 9:16.
Why
Both layouts are built for a tall frame and do not yet compose properly in 16:9.
No phone app
It needs a laptop or desktop.
Why
Phone browsers cannot yet export video this way.
No AI footage
The visuals come from your audio.
Why
On purpose. Every frame is drawn from your track, so the visual moves with your music rather than a generic clip.
What is BeatVisualiser?
BeatVisualiser is a browser-based music visualiser for independent artists and producers. Turn your music, artwork and video backgrounds into audio-reactive videos for YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. It is premium software. A free account gets the full editor and one export up to 15 seconds so you can check the quality on your own track before you pay.
Is it browser-based?
Yes. It runs in Chrome, Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers on a laptop or desktop, with nothing to install. Safari, Firefox, phones and tablets cannot export video yet.
What can I export for free?
One export of up to 15 seconds, at 1080p 60fps with no watermark, using any style. You can build and preview as much as you like. After that, each export needs a credit, or Pro or Lifetime for unlimited exports.
Can I use my own artwork and video?
Yes. Add cover art as PNG, JPG, WebP or AVIF, and video as MP4, MOV, M4V or WebM. Artwork can go on the record or behind the visual, and video can play behind Spectrum, Waveform, Vinyl, Scope, Orb and 3D.
Can I export full-length and vertical videos?
Yes, on a paid account. Vertical 9:16 exports run up to 60 seconds. Landscape 16:9 exports in YouTube Mode run up to 10 minutes. The free export is capped at 15 seconds in either shape.
Does my music leave my device?
Not to make the video. Audio analysis, preview and encoding all happen on your computer, and the finished file saves straight to it. The one exception is optional auto lyric sync, which sends the selected section of audio, up to about a minute, off your computer to be transcribed. Pasting and timing lyrics yourself stays on your computer.
Hear it. Then see it.
Load your track, pick a style and export your first 15 seconds free. Pay when you want more.
