Turn your audio into a video people actually watch. Waveloop makes audiograms — short videos with an animated waveform — so your podcast clips, voice notes, music snippets, and quotes get noticed in feeds that autoplay muted. Everything happens on your device. There's no account to create, and your audio is never uploaded to a server. A FAST, FOCUSED WORKFLOW • Import — pick an audio file, record a new clip right in the app, or share audio in from any other app. • Trim — scrub the waveform and drag two handles to grab exactly the moment you want (clips up to 5 minutes on Pro tier). • Style — choose a waveform color, pick a background, set the bar density, pick square or 9:16 vertical, and add an optional title. A live preview updates as you tweak. • Export — render a crisp MP4 video in Full HD 1080×1080 square or 9:16 vertical (or 4K Ultra HD on Pro tier). • Share — send straight to your favorite social and messaging apps, or save to your photo library. • Recents — every export is kept in an in-app gallery so you can re-share, save, or delete it later. BUILT FOR PRIVACY • 100% on-device processing — your audio and video never leave your phone • No sign-up, no account, no ads, no tracking • Works offline MADE TO LOOK GOOD • Smooth, hardware-accelerated export using your phone's native video encoder • A clean bar-style waveform with a moving progress fill and playhead • Color and background presets designed to read well on small screens (plus custom colors on Pro tier) PERFECT FOR • Podcasters promoting episodes • Musicians teasing a new track • Creators turning quotes and voice notes into shareable clips • Anyone who wants audio to stand out in a video-first feed Free to use, with a small watermark on exports. A one-time Waveloop Pro unlock removes the watermark forever — no subscription. Questions or feedback? We'd love to hear from you. TERMS OF USE (EULA): https://funattic.studio/waveloop/terms-of-use/
