Common Problems Our LRC Maker Solves
Synced lyrics turn a music player into a sing-along screen and give karaoke nights, lyric videos and practice sessions a line that lights up at the right moment. Writing them by hand is slow work. You play a few seconds, pause, read the clock, type a timestamp in square brackets, rewind because you missed the start, and repeat that for every line of every verse. One typo in a time tag and the whole chorus lands early. An LRC maker that listens with you and records the time when you tap turns an evening of fiddly typing into one or two play-throughs of the song.
- Pausing and rewinding to read the clock for every single line
- Typing [01:23.45] tags by hand and breaking the file with one typo
- Downloaded lyrics that drift because your version has a longer intro
- Karaoke apps that want word timing, not just one time per line
- Players that will not load a file with the wrong name or format
What You Get with the EzTranscriber LRC Generator
Everything you need to turn plain words into lyrics that move with the music, right in the browser.
Tap to Sync Each Line
Press Space or the Stamp button as each line begins. The time is written for you, accurate to a hundredth of a second, and the next line is ready.
Nudge and Fine-Tune
Tapped a little late? Move any line earlier or later by a tenth of a second, edit the words inline and click a line to hear it again.
Slow Playback for Fast Songs
Drop the speed to half while you tap through a rap verse or a busy chorus. The timestamps still match the song at normal speed.
Enhanced Word-Level LRC
Switch to enhanced mode to time individual words, so karaoke screens can fill each word as it is sung instead of the whole line at once.
Karaoke Preview
Play the song with your synced lyrics scrolling and highlighting, and catch an early or late line before anyone else sees it.
LRC, SRT and TXT Export
Download the file with title, artist and album tags, an SRT for video editors, or plain text, and copy any of them in one click.
How to Make an LRC File in Three Steps
No install and no account for manual syncing. Most songs take one listen plus a quick review.

Play and tap on every line
Press play, then tap Space each time a new line starts. Slow the song down for tricky passages, nudge any stamp by a tenth of a second and undo a mistake without starting over.

Preview and download the LRC file
Watch the karaoke preview, add title and artist tags, set a global offset if needed, and download the LRC lyrics. SRT and TXT are one click away for video editors and documents.
Four Ways This LRC File Maker Saves You Time
From a blank page to lyrics that load in your player, with the slow parts done for you.
Tap Along to Create Timed Lyrics
Classic lyric syncing means typing time tags. Here you only listen. The line about to be sung is highlighted, you tap as the singer starts it, and the editor writes the [mm:ss.xx] tag and moves to the next line. Missed one? Step back, tap again, or nudge the stamp in tenth of a second steps while the waveform plays. Playback at half or three quarter speed makes fast verses easy to hit, a reaction delay setting takes off the split second it takes you to tap, and you can drag any line marker along the waveform. The stamps are always saved against the real tempo. Your draft is kept in the browser as you work, so a closed tab does not cost you the song.
Start TappingAuto-Sync Lyrics with the AI LRC Generator
No lyrics on hand, or simply no time to tap? Switch to Auto-sync with AI. The AI LRC generator listens to the vocals, writes down what is sung and times every line. One click on Fine-tune timing sends the draft to the editor, where you fix a misheard word or move a stamp. Clear vocals give the best draft, and the AI mode needs a free account because it uses transcription credits; new accounts get free credits to try it. For a full transcript of the words alone, the lyrics transcriber is built for that job.
Try AI Auto-SyncEnhanced LRC: Word-by-Word Karaoke Timing
Standard LRC times each line. Enhanced LRC adds a time tag in angle brackets before every word, which is what karaoke apps use to fill words one by one. Switch Stamp by to Word and tap each word as it is sung, or start from an AI draft when the AI times each word. The same project exports both versions, so you can give a plain music player the simple file and a karaoke app the detailed one. Word timing also pairs well with a video edit, and an audio to SRT file works best for spoken captions.
Make Word-Level LRCFix an Out of Sync LRC File
An LRC file you found online was made for a different release, so the whole thing runs two seconds early, or the radio edit skips a verse. Import the file with your own copy of the song and the editor shows every line on the timeline. Shift everything at once with the global offset, nudge individual lines, delete the verse that is not in your version, and export a fresh file that matches. It works as a quick lyric syncer for an entire music library, one song at a time, and checks for missing stamps or lines out of order before you download.

Switch formats to see the same timed lyrics as LRC, enhanced LRC and SRT.
An LRC file is plain text. Each line starts with a time tag such as [00:12.40], followed by the words sung at that moment, and optional tags at the top store the title, artist, album and an offset. Enhanced LRC adds <00:12.90> before individual words. Because it is only text, you can open the download in any editor, and players read it when it sits next to the song with the same file name.
Standard LRC vs Enhanced LRC vs SRT
All three come from the same timed lyrics. Here is which file to send where.

What Users Say About Our LRC Generator
I used to type time tags in Notepad for an hour per song. Tapping Space while the track plays gets me a clean file in about four minutes.
Kenji Watanabe
Karaoke Night Host
Half speed playback is the feature I did not know I needed. Our rap verses finally line up word for word in the karaoke app.
Tasha Greene
Independent Artist
Half my downloaded lyrics were out of sync with my remasters. One offset change per album and the whole library lines up again.
Lucas Moreau
Music Collector
AI auto-sync drafted a full song with timing. I fixed two words, nudged the chorus and exported both LRC and SRT for the lyric video.

LRC Generator FAQs
Answers about LRC files, syncing and exports. Still stuck? Write to our support team.
What is an LRC file?
An LRC file is a plain text file of song lyrics in which every line starts with a time tag such as [00:31.20]. Music players read it to show and highlight the words in time with the song. Optional tags store the title, artist, album and an offset.
How do I make an LRC file?
Load the song, paste the lyrics with one line per row, press play and tap Space as each line starts. Check the karaoke preview, fix any line with the nudge buttons, then download. This LRC file maker works the same for any song length.
Is this LRC generator free?
Yes. Manual syncing, editing, the preview and every download are free with no sign-in. Only AI auto-sync needs an account, because it uses transcription credits, and new accounts get free credits to try it.
Can an AI LRC generator sync lyrics automatically?
Yes. Choose Auto-sync with AI, upload the song, and the AI writes down the sung words with timing for each line. The draft opens in the editor so you can correct words and timing. Results depend on how clearly the vocals stand out in the mix.
What is enhanced LRC?
Enhanced LRC adds a time tag before each word, for example <00:31.70>, on top of the usual line tag. Karaoke apps use it to fill words one at a time. Players that do not support it simply show the line.
How do I use an LRC file with my music player?
Give the lyrics file exactly the same name as the song, such as Track 01.mp3 and Track 01.lrc, and keep both in the same folder. Many desktop and mobile players, and lyric plugins for others, pick it up automatically.
My LRC lyrics are out of sync. How do I fix them?
Import the file together with your copy of the song. If every line is early or late by the same amount, change the global offset. If only part of it drifts, nudge those lines or tap them again, then export a new file.
Can I convert LRC to SRT?
Yes. Any timed lyrics you make or import can be downloaded as an SRT subtitle file for video editors and YouTube, or as plain text without time tags.
Which audio formats can I sync?
MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC and OGG work in most browsers, and the audio track of MP4 and WEBM video works too. The file plays from your device and is never uploaded in manual mode.
Do I need the lyrics before I start?
For manual syncing, yes: paste or import them first. If you do not have them, use AI auto-sync, or get the words with the lyrics transcriber and then tap them in here.
Will I lose my work if I close the tab?
Your lyrics and stamps are saved in this browser as a draft while you work, so reopening the page brings them back. Downloading the file is still the safest copy, especially in a private window.
What tags can I add to the file?
Title [ti:], artist [ar:], album [al:] and creator [by:], plus an optional [offset:] tag, while [length:] is filled in from the song. Players use them to label the lyrics. Not every player honors [offset:], so you can also apply the offset to the times themselves.
