Turn a podcast clip into an audiogram video

Turn an audio clip into a shareable video with an animated waveform and cover art, so it can be posted on feeds that only play video.

Audio on its own doesn’t travel well on social feeds — most only play video. An audiogram fixes that: it wraps your audio in a short video with an animated waveform over your cover art, so a podcast highlight or voice clip can be posted like any other video.

1. Upload your audio

Open Audiogram and add an audio file (MP3, WAV, and similar formats work).

2. Add cover art (optional)

Upload an image to sit behind the waveform — your show artwork, a photo, or a branded background. If you skip this, the waveform sits on a clean dark background.

3. Style the waveform

Match it to your brand:

  • Color — pick from the palette.
  • Wave style — a centered line, a plain line, point-to-point, or scattered points.
  • Position — a bottom bar, a center band, or spread across the full frame.
  • Band opacity — how strongly the waveform’s backing band shows over your cover.

4. Choose a format and render

This is the one to get right: export MP4 (or WebM) so the audio comes along. WebP and GIF are silent image formats — great for a soundless loop, but they’ll drop the audio from an audio-first clip, which defeats the point. Pick MP4, optionally trim to the segment you want with a start time and duration, and render.

Making a clip that performs

  • Keep it short. A 30-to-60-second highlight travels further than a long excerpt.
  • Lead with the hook. Trim so the most quotable line lands in the first few seconds.
  • Caption separately if needed. The waveform draws the eye; a caption in your posting tool adds context.

You see the credit cost before you render, and failed jobs are refunded.
