How It Works

100% Private, your audio never leaves your browser. The tool works locally on your device using WebAssembly. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.

  • 🔒 100% privacy friendly
  • 🆓 100% free to use
  • ✅ No signup required
  • 👌 Zero watermarks
  • 💻 Files stay on your computer

This tool draws each frame on a canvas and encodes the video with the video encoder that is built into your browser (WebCodecs). Then FFmpeg, the industry‑standard media toolkit compiled to WebAssembly, cuts the audio clip and puts the sound and the picture in one MP4. The waveform comes from the sound of your clip, so it moves with the voice. No account, no watermark, no server queue.

The first time you create an audiogram, the tool downloads the media engine (~30MB) to your browser and caches it, so later audiograms start instantly. On our test laptop, a 30‑second square clip was ready in 3 seconds. Browsers with no built‑in H.264 encoder use FFmpeg for the video too, which took about 25 seconds for the same clip.

Want to make audiogram clips for every episode automatically? The Bannerbear API automates it for you. Plug it into your app or no‑code workflow, give it one episode file, and get waveform clips with illustrated art, captions and show notes.

What Is a Podcast Audiogram?

An audiogram is a short video of a podcast clip. It shows a still image, a waveform that moves with the voice, and a title.

Social feeds play video, not audio files. An audiogram puts a moment from your episode into a video, so you can post it like any other clip. This tool makes the video from four parts:

  • Cover image: your show or episode art, in a square with rounded corners. A blurred copy of it fills the background.
  • Waveform: bars or a line in the colour you choose. The height comes from the loudness of the sound in each frame, and the shape comes from the pitch.
  • Title: the episode name or a short quote, in up to 2 lines (3 lines in the 9:16 size).
  • Progress line: a thin line under the waveform that shows how much of the clip has played.

Note: this audiogram is a podcast video. It is not the chart from a hearing test, which has the same name.

How to Make an Audiogram

You can make an audiogram in a few minutes. You do not need to install software or make an account.

  1. Click Choose audio and select your MP3 or WAV file. The tool shows the waveform of the whole file.
  2. Set the Start of the clip and its Length, up to 60 seconds. You can also click the waveform to move the start.
  3. Click Choose cover image and select a PNG, JPG or WEBP image.
  4. Choose the Size, the Waveform style (bars or line) and its Colour, and type a Title.
  5. Click Play Clip to see the preview with the sound.
  6. Click Create Audiogram, then download the MP4.

To add captions, open the MP4 in the free subtitle tool. It can write the captions for you with AI, in your browser.

Podcast Audiogram Questions

The common questions about making a podcast audiogram, and their answers

Do you upload my audio or my image?

No. The tool runs in your browser, and your files stay on your device. We do not see them, and we do not keep a copy.

Is the audiogram maker free?

Yes. The tool is free, with no watermark, no signup and no limit on the number of clips.

How long can the clip be?

From 1 to 60 seconds. Most social apps show short clips best. The audio file itself can be a full episode, up to 2 hours on a computer.

Does the waveform match the voice?

Yes. For each frame, the tool measures the sound at that moment of the clip. Loud speech makes tall bars, and a pause makes flat bars.

How long does it take?

The first time, your browser downloads the media engine (~30MB) and keeps it. After that, a 30-second square clip took 3 seconds on our test laptop (Apple M5, Chrome). A browser with no built-in H.264 video encoder uses FFmpeg for the video, and the same clip took about 25 seconds. Older computers take longer.

Can I add captions?

Yes. Download the MP4, then open it in the free subtitle tool. It writes the captions with AI in your browser, and you can edit them before you burn them in.

Which files can I use?

MP3 and WAV audio, and PNG, JPG or WEBP images. To use an M4A, FLAC or OGG file, change it to MP3 with the media converter first.

Is this a hearing test audiogram?

No. A hearing test audiogram is a chart of hearing levels. This tool makes a podcast audiogram, which is a short video with a waveform.
