THE PROBLEM
TIKTOK IS VERTICAL.
YOUR LYRIC VIDEO TOOL PROBABLY ISN'T.
Most lyric video tools were built for YouTube. Widescreen, 16:9, horizontal. When you need it for TikTok you get two choices, both bad: crop down and lose half your text, or rebuild the whole thing in a different tool.
TikTok's algorithm reads cropped widescreen as a repost and the feed buries it. The song took weeks. The video for it shouldn't be the part that ruins the upload.
WHY EPITRITE
BUILT FOR TIKTOK FROM THE FIRST FRAME
Vertical by default, not by export checkbox
Every project opens in 9:16. Text sizes, animations, and backgrounds are tuned for someone holding a phone at full screen, not someone half-watching from a laptop.
Lyrics that line up with the beat
Beat sync runs at the syllable level, not just line by line. Doubled vocals, fast rap, and effects-heavy mixes line up without you keyframing words one at a time.
No big stamped-on watermark
Free exports carry just a small 'Made with Epitrite' credit in the corner; Pro removes it entirely. Either way, the video is yours to post under your own name.
Done in under ten minutes
Auto-sync handles the rough timing. Anywhere it misses, drag a single word to fix it. Most people post the video the same hour they start the project.
HOW IT WORKS
SONG TO TIKTOK IN 4 STEPS
Upload your track
Drop in an .mp3, .wav, or .m4a (up to 50MB). Tempo and beat positions get detected on their own.
Add your lyrics
Paste or type the lyrics. Each word gets mapped to the audio at the syllable level.
Style it
Pick a font from the 29 included, choose an animation, set a background. Backgrounds can be solid colors, your own video clips, or transparent. Everything renders to 9:16.
Export and post
Download the 1080p vertical MP4 and upload it straight to TikTok. The file is yours to post.
No signup needed
Open the editor and play with it.
Drop in a 30-second snippet and see how the 9:16 layout feels in motion. No account, no card.
