Online music visualizer
A music visualizer, right in your browser.
Free, with nothing to install. Press play, switch on a few effects, and the picture moves to the music.
Got a song of your own?
Choose one, or drop it on the stage. A picture or a video works too. It’s read in your browser and never uploaded.
Listening on Spotify or Apple Music? The free Mac app moves to whatever your Mac plays.

Eleven here, fifteen in the app
Switch on an effect or three.
Each one listens to part of the music: the kick and bass, the vocals, the hats, every hit or every beat. Stack a few and they act on the picture in turn, top to bottom. Four more are only in the Mac app.
Flow Warp
Liquid · listens to low
Pushes the picture through moving liquid, the way you point it.
Swirl
Liquid · listens to low
Twists the picture round a centre you place.
Trails
Time · listens to low
Feeds the last frame back in, so motion leaves a wake.
Tile Echo
Grid & slices · listens to mid
Cuts the picture into tiles that gather on a point you drag.
Luma Bars
Grid & slices · listens to low
The picture as a grid of shapes, each as big as its cell is bright.
Halftone
Print · listens to hit
Printed dots on light or dark paper, turned to any angle.
ASCII
Print · listens to high
Rebuilt from ten characters, lightest to darkest.
Gradient Map
Liquid · listens to beat
Repaints the picture by brightness in one of four ramps.
Glow
Lens & screen · listens to hit
The lights spill over into what’s around them.
CRT
Lens & screen · listens to hit
An old screen: bulged glass, split colour, scanlines.
Grain
Print · listens to high
Film grain, mono or in colour.
Bloom
Mac app · grows with the song
Poppies grown from the song. They rise and open as it builds, and late on the petals fall.
Mycelium
Mac app · grows with the song
Threads that spread from one root, splitting on every hit and fruiting at their tips.
Mirror
Mac app · listens to low
Folds the picture round a point, two to eight ways, so any picture is a kaleidoscope.
Ripple
Mac app · listens to hit
Drops a stone on every hit. The rings spread out and bend the picture as they go.
