Rescroll

Free podcast video maker

Add your podcast audio, up to 10 minutes, and get a 16:9 video with a smooth waveform moving to the voices, the show and episode on screen and a progress bar. A 1080p MP4 with the sound in it. Free, no sign-up, no watermark.

The basics

What is a podcast video?

A podcast video is an audio episode, or part of one, turned into a video file with something on screen to watch, so it can go on YouTube or into a social feed. Without a camera recording, that's usually a waveform, the show's name and the episode title.

This page opens in 16:9 at 1920×1080 on the Wave style in the Midnight look: the show and episode number over the title, a white line that swells with the voices, and a progress bar with the elapsed and total time. The wave moves smoothly rather than in steps, which is easy to watch over a long stretch of talk.

The maker takes up to 10 minutes of audio, so for a full episode cut a highlight in your audio editor first. A longer video takes longer to make, because every frame is drawn in your browser.

How it works

How to make a podcast video.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Add your audio

    Choose an MP3, WAV, M4A or other audio file up to 10 minutes long. It's read in your browser and never uploaded. Until you add one, a 10-second sample shows how it moves.

  2. 2

    Pick a style

    Bars, Wave or Radial. Set how many bars there are and how thick, and how strongly and how smoothly they react to the sound.

  3. 3

    Add your words and a look

    Type a title and a subtitle, such as the episode and the show, and choose whether to show the progress bar and time. Then pick a look and a frame shape.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. Every frame is drawn in your browser at 1080p and your sound is added to the file, so it's ready to post. No account, no watermark.

When an audio waveform video isn’t enough

The free audio waveform video is the starting point.

Here you get a waveform, a title and a progress bar over your sound. In Rescroll you describe the graphics you want on your video podcast, such as “show each guest's name and role as I introduce them, in our show colors”, and they're designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the exact word you say. Attach your logo or a screenshot of your style, and ask in the chat for any change.

Questions

Podcast video: your questions, answered.

How do I turn a podcast into a video?

Add the audio at the top of this page, type the episode title and the show name, and press Download. You get a 1920×1080 MP4 of the waveform moving to your voices, with the sound in it.

Can I use a full podcast episode?

Up to 10 minutes of it. A longer file is refused with a message, so cut a highlight or a segment first. Whatever you add is read on your device and never uploaded.

What size is a podcast video for YouTube?

1920×1080, which is 16:9 and what this page opens on. For Shorts, Reels or TikTok, switch Format to 9:16 and the same design stacks vertically at 1080×1920.

Can I show the episode number and the show name?

Yes. The title takes up to 70 characters and the subtitle above it up to 48, so “The Morning Shift · Episode 42” fits in the subtitle. Leave either one empty and the layout closes the gap.

Is the audio waveform video maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The audio waveform video is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Can I use the audio waveform video in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.
