Sunset beach · Zoom In
A slow push towards the horizon suits calm songs and end-of-day moments. Following the music, the clip ends with the track.
Add Music to Photo – Turn a Picture and a Song into a Video
Choose one photo and the song you want behind it. The video follows the music or runs for 5 to 60 seconds, the picture slowly zooms or pans, and the sound fades in and out. Pick 9:16 for stories, 16:9 for screens or 1:1 for feeds, then export MP4 or WebM. Free, no sign-up, and nothing is uploaded.

Add Music to Image Files and Get a Video You Can Share
A still photo cannot carry a soundtrack on its own: to add audio to image files you need a short video that shows the picture while the song plays. That is what this tool makes. You choose one photo and one track, and your browser records them together into an MP4 or WebM that any phone, chat app or social platform can play.
How do you add music to a picture without an editing app? Upload the photo, add the MP3 and decide how the picture should move: Zoom In pushes slowly towards the subject, Zoom Out starts close and reveals the scene, Pan travels across a wide shot and Still keeps the frame perfectly calm. The music can start at any point of the song, and gentle fades stop it from beginning or ending abruptly.
Everything runs on your device. The photo and the song are never uploaded, there is no account, and the export is not limited, so you can make a version for stories, one for a widescreen slideshow and one square post from the same picture.
Photo with Music Examples: Zoom In, Pan and Zoom Out
Three vertical videos exported with the tool above, each from one photo and one royalty-free track.
Mountain ridge · Pan
A wide landscape in a 9:16 frame: with Crop fill the camera travels from the left edge to the right, showing the whole ridge.
Café table · Zoom Out
Starting on the coffee and pulling back to the whole table makes a little reveal for a shop or recipe teaser.
How to Add a Song to a Picture in Four Steps
Choose the photo
Add one JPG, PNG or WebP picture up to 20 MB. It appears in the preview straight away, already fitted to the frame you pick.
Add the song
Pick an MP3, M4A or WAV file up to 50 MB: to add MP3 to image videos you only need one track. Drag the highlighted window on the waveform, or use the slider, to start the music at the chorus instead of the intro.
Set length, motion and shape
Keep Match music to end with the song (up to 60 seconds) or choose 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 seconds. Pick Zoom In, Zoom Out, Pan or Still, a 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1 frame and a Blur, Dark or Crop fill.
Preview, then export
Press Play preview to hear the result, then Export video. The video is recorded in real time, so a 30-second clip takes about 30 seconds and downloads as MP4 or WebM.
Add Audio to Image Controls That Make It Feel Finished
Pick the Part of the Song That Plays
The waveform shows the whole track with the part that will play highlighted. Slide it to the chorus, the drop or the line you love, and the video starts there. Match music then runs to the end of the song, capped at one minute.
Fit Any Photo with Blur, Dark or Crop
A portrait photo in a widescreen frame, or a landscape in a vertical one, never gets stretched. Blur places it on a soft copy of itself, Dark adds plain bars, and Crop fills the frame edge to edge.
One Picture in Three Shapes for Stories, Feeds and Screens
Export 9:16 at 720 × 1280 for vertical stories and short videos, 16:9 at 1280 × 720 for a TV or a presentation, or 1:1 at 1080 × 1080 for a square post. Switch shape and export again: your settings stay as they are.
A Calm Still Photo with Soft Music Fades
Not every picture needs movement. Still keeps the frame exactly as composed while the song plays, and the fade in and fade out switches make the start and end sound deliberate instead of cut off.

Tips for a Photo with Music That Feels Intentional
Match motion to the mood
Zoom In and Still suit slow, emotional songs; Pan and Zoom Out feel lighter and work well with upbeat tracks.
Start on the best bar
Most songs open with a quiet intro. Move the start point to the chorus so the first seconds already sound like the song.
Pick the frame before the photo
For vertical stories, a portrait photo with Crop fill fills the screen; a landscape photo looks better with Blur or Pan.
Stay on the tab until the download starts
Recording happens in real time, and some browsers pause it when you switch tabs or the screen locks.
