Your track and lyrics
Get your song and words ready.
- How do I mark ad-libs and backing vocals, and can I hide them?
Use round brackets; ad-libs show smaller, can be hidden in the studio and are left out of LRC captions.
- Which audio files can I upload, and how long can they be?
The formats we take, how long and how big your track can be, and why the same file matters.
- Can I change my lyrics, title, language or cover after uploading?
What remains editable, and when a fresh upload can qualify for free reuse.
- How do I mark choruses, verses and repeats?
The tag and repeat rules that give you chorus effects and accurate sync, and the habits that break them.
- What cover art works best?
Most styles take their colours from your cover (Flicker stays black and white). Sizes, formats, cropping and the person cut-out.
- Can I make a lyric video for a cover song?
Yes, for your own recording of the song. What we ask, how the writers are credited, and Content ID.
- How do I auto-detect lyrics from my track?
Find words in your vocal, then check, edit or delete them in the usual Sync screen.
- How do I show a duet or a featured singer?
Name the singer in the section tag so styles can give the second voice its own side or colour.
- Can I hide a swear word or make a clean version?
Editing the written words does not change the sound in your video.
- Which languages does lyrik support, and how do I pick mine?
The languages we sync, how the language is chosen, and what to do if yours isn’t listed.
- I don’t have cover art yet. What happens if I skip it?
We make a simple stand-in cover. How it affects colours and styles, and how to add yours later.
- How should I paste my lyrics?
One sung line per line, what the automatic tidy-up does, and why the line count can change.
- What am I agreeing to in ‘One quick check’?
The exact upload confirmation, what is recorded and what the checkbox does.
- Using accents, special letters and emoji in lyrics
Keep your spelling and check the font warning before choosing a style.
- How do I set the song title and artist name?
The title is filled in from your file name; check it, because it can’t be changed later.
- Syncing fast rap, live vocals or long instrumental sections
What to check when the voice is hard to hear or the song has long gaps.
- What happens when I press ‘Sync my lyrics’?
What gets sent, when you need to sign in, and when it’s safe to leave the page.
