The words
Give each line room
Preview a fast verse in full. Shorter lines and a clear typeface make the words easier to follow. Check the transition into the chorus too.
Your words, loads of ways to move
Lyric video styles
Fast verses. A chorus that needs the whole screen. A quieter line with room to breathe. Find the look that feels like your song.
The styles
bold
Broadside
Broadside looks like a gig poster pulled from a print shop. Thick wood-type letters meet a small set of inks, with your cover worked into the paper.

Diary
Diary gives the song a page of its own. Handwritten lines sit among notebook details, with your cover taped into the scene.

Marker
Marker writes with the weight of a felt-tip pen. Letters come forward with the line, while rough marks and doodles give the page a handmade rhythm.

Workshop
Workshop sets your song on a Christmas craft table, a bit like Santa's workshop. Every line is cut, stamped, foiled, stitched or knitted as it is sung, under a warm lamp and fairy lights.

Xerox
Words arrive on torn paper strips, a line at a time. Xerox turns your cover into photocopy texture and gives the chorus a change of light.

Postscript
A printed line with a handwritten afterthought. Postscript pairs serif lettering with script emphasis, against a soft, shifting view of your cover.

Widescreen
Let the artwork carry the atmosphere. Widescreen moves gently through your cover while the words stay clear in front of it.

Departure
Departure turns a lyric into a destination board. Flipping characters and glowing signs give each line the rhythm of an arrival or a departure.

Folio
Folio treats a line like a pull quote. Your cover becomes part of a magazine spread, with a clear hierarchy between the words and the picture.

Start with the song
Fast verses suit short, moving groups of words; a big chorus wants more of the frame. A person on the cover? Check which styles use the cut-out. Then let the preview decide.
The look
Build on your artwork
Try bold type against a simple cover, or let a quieter layout give the image more space. Change the available colours and fonts until the song and picture feel at home together.
The format
See it at phone size
Landscape and portrait need different room around the lyrics. Compare both examples, then check that your own words stay clear in the format you want to share.
Choose type you can read at a glance
Try each typeface on a dense line and a quiet one, keep contrast against the artwork, and check a phone screen before you export. Your song’s letters decide which fonts are available; each style page lists its current controls.
Make it yours
Can I change the font and colour?
Yes. Each style has its own choices. Open a style page to see the current controls.
Why are some styles unavailable for my song?
A style can depend on the cover or the letters in your lyrics. The editor explains why an option cannot be used.
Do I have to keep the suggested style?
No. The suggestions are a starting point. You can try the other available styles before downloading.
Can I use my own artwork?
Yes. Add your cover art, then see how the available styles use its image and colours. Each style treats the artwork differently, so preview it with your own track.
How do I keep lyrics readable on a phone?
Check a fast verse as well as the chorus. Choose a clear font, leave room around the words and make sure the text stands out from your artwork.
Will landscape and portrait look the same?
They use different layouts to fit the frame. Watch both formats on a style page, then check your own preview before choosing a download.
