# Convert Audio to Video Online

Upload an audio file and get a video you can post: a moving waveform, captions and your background.

To turn audio into a video, Exemplary AI puts it over a visual: a waveform that moves with the sound, captions transcribed from the audio, and a background colour or image. Upload an MP3, WAV or M4A file, style it, and download an MP4 (H.264) video in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9.

## How to convert audio to video

1. Upload the audio file (MP3, WAV and M4A) and choose the language it is spoken in.
2. Pick the part to use: AI Clips can choose it from a recording of 10 minutes or more, or select it in the transcript and click "Create Audiogram".
3. Choose a background colour or image, a waveform style, captions and the video size.
4. Download the MP4 (H.264) video.

## Convert a podcast to video

A podcast episode converts the same way: upload its MP3, WAV or M4A file and you get an MP4 (H.264) video with a moving waveform, captions of what is said, and your cover art (an image up to 1 MB) or a colour behind it. Each video holds up to 10 minutes, so select a moment in the transcript, or let AI Clips pick several from an episode of 10 minutes or more. If the podcast was filmed, the [AI podcast clips generator](https://exemplary.ai/ai-podcast-clips-generator) cuts the video itself into clips.

## Why Use Exemplary AI's Audio to Video Converter?

### Your background, your colours

Use a solid colour or upload an image (up to 1 MB), and add a title or your logo.
