Music Waveform
Music Waveform turns audio files into animated waveform videos in a browser.
What Music Waveform is
Music Waveform turns audio files into animated waveform videos in a browser. It runs on Android, iOS and web, and accepts MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A/AAC and FLAC files. Choose from eight adjustable styles—bars, mirror, radial, scope, area, dots, blob and circle—and tune the color, waveform reaction and resolution up to 4K. A playback-synced preview shows the animation, while one-click presets handle analysis and visual settings. Exports include MP4, transparent WebM and ZIP files of transparent PNG frames; PNG frames have no audio track. Audio decoding, analysis, rendering and encoding run locally in the browser. The maker says files are not uploaded or stored on a server. The free plan is free, with no account, watermark or paywall. MP4 export requires an up-to-date Chromium browser or Safari 17 or newer. Long exports may run out of memory on older phones.
