Timing

Every line gets the same duration, starting from the start time.

Need timestamps that actually match the song?

Estimated timing is a starting point. Upload the audio and AI LRC Generator listens to the track and syncs every line for you — then export to VTT.

Instructions

Convert TXT to VTT in 3 steps

  1. Paste or upload

    Paste lyrics or upload a .txt file. Blank lines, old LRC timestamps and [ti:]/[ar:] tags are cleaned up automatically.

  2. Set the timing

    Choose a fixed interval per line or fit the lyrics to the song length, and set when the first line starts to skip the intro.

  3. Download VTT

    Preview the result, copy it or download the VTT file. Fine-tune lines in the LRC Maker if needed.

Good to know

  • Timestamps are estimated from your settings, not detected from audio — use AI sync for real timing
  • Blank lines, existing timestamps and metadata tags are removed before timing
  • Everything runs in your browser — your lyrics are never uploaded
  • Free with no sign-up and no limits on conversions

A plain-text file only holds the words. It has no timing, so players can't scroll or highlight it in sync with the music.
