Free Spinning Record Video Maker

A spinning record video — album art rotating on a virtual turntable while a track plays underneath — has become one of the simplest, most effective ways for musicians and labels to promote a song on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Waxify makes one of these videos in a couple of minutes, for free, with nothing to install and no watermark on the export.

Why a spinning record video works

Static cover-art posts get scrolled past. A subtle spin adds motion, which is what stops a thumb mid-scroll on a feed built entirely around video. It also does something a static image can't: it looks like a physical record playing, which reads as more "real" and more collectible than a flat square of art, even when the source is a digital single.

What you get for free

  • Upload your own disc art (or use one of the built-in shapes) and a background image
  • Realistic vinyl grooves, label, and spindle hole, or a plain shape — your choice
  • Adjustable RPM from a crawl up to 300, plus a one-click reverse-spin toggle
  • Frame-accurate audio trimming with a zoomable waveform
  • Square, portrait, and landscape export presets sized for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
  • A server-rendered MP4 — not a screen recording — so the output is sharp and audio-synced

How it's free

There's no premium tier gating export quality or adding a watermark. You upload your files, set up the disc the way you want it in the live preview, and export. The video renders on our servers with FFmpeg and comes back as a clean MP4 you can post immediately.

Who this is for

Independent musicians teasing a new single, labels announcing a vinyl repress, DJs previewing a set, and podcasters who only have an audio file but need something visual for platforms that don't support audio-only posts — anyone who has a track and a piece of art and fifteen minutes.
