Frequently Asked Questions


What is a sound wave video?

A sound wave video is an animated MP4 where your audio drives a waveform or spectrum. WaveVisual lets you upload an audio file, customize the look, and export 1080p video for YouTube and social. Design is free; full-quality exports without a watermark are paid.

How can I personalize waveform animations?

Use the waveform editor to change colors, background, bar style, and layout. Upload your own audio file, then export when you are happy with the preview. Video export needs an uploaded file: a song picked from Spotify does not export as a video.
