In their own words
Music Waveform
Music Waveform turns audio files into animated waveform videos in a browser for musicians, podcasters, and video editors. It accepts MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A/AAC, and FLAC files, with eight adjustable styles: bars, mirror, radial, scope, area, dots, blob, and circle. Users can tune color, waveform reaction, and resolution up to 4K, then preview the animation in sync with playback. One-click presets provide analysis and visual settings. Exports include MP4 video, transparent WebM, and ZIP files of transparent PNG frames; PNG frames do not include an audio track. Audio decoding, analysis, rendering, and encoding run locally in the browser, and the maker says files are not uploaded or stored on a server. The free plan costs nothing, 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. The tool does not edit or accept video, transcribe audio, separate stems, batch-process, or provide an API.
