Karaoke Maker
Croonify is a karaoke maker that converts a normal song file into a karaoke video with synchronized lyrics on screen. You upload a song (audio or video) and the lyrics you want to display, and Croonify generates a finished video you can play on any device.
Unlike older “karaoke maker” tools that rely on pre-timed lyric files, Croonify synchronizes lyrics directly to the recording using the vocals. If timing is slightly off for a line, you can adjust it with the built-in timing editor and regenerate.
What a karaoke maker actually does
“Karaoke maker” can mean a few different things. Croonify focuses on the parts that matter for a real karaoke track:
Vocal removal (or reduction)
Croonify performs vocal separation so you can sing over the instrumental. It can handle main vocals and background vocals independently, which helps with songs that have strong harmonies.
Lyric synchronization
Croonify lines up your lyrics with the performance so the words appear when they’re sung. This is why the input lyrics need to be accurate and complete — if the chorus repeats, the chorus needs to repeat in the lyrics.
Video output
The result is a shareable video file: vocals reduced, lyrics on screen, ready for a TV, projector, laptop, or phone.
If you upload an existing karaoke track (no vocals), Croonify can’t synchronize the lyrics — it uses the recorded vocals to learn where the words go.

Step-by-step
1) Upload a song file
Audio files are supported, and video files are supported too (the audio will be extracted). The service is limited to 6 minute songs.
2) Paste the lyrics you want on screen
Remove timestamps, section labels, and annotations. Croonify will attempt to synchronize every word you provide, so keep it to only the lyrics you want displayed.
3) Generate the karaoke video
Croonify removes vocals, synchronizes lyrics, and produces a karaoke video file.
4) Adjust timing (optional)
If a line comes in early or late, use the timing editor and regenerate. Fine-tuning is normal — especially for songs with ad-libs, choral sections, or heavy harmonies.
