VidMaker is a desktop app for turning images and audio into social-ready videos. Trim, crop, adjust, and export — or generate content with AI — all in one fast, local workflow.
Two streamlined pipelines for the most common social video creation tasks.
PNG, JPG, WebP
MP3, WAV, M4A
MP4, social-ready
Whether you're building a video from scratch or swapping the audio on an existing clip, VidMaker has a dedicated workflow for it.
Combine a still image with an audio track to create a video. Perfect for podcast clips, music visualizers, quote posts, and social content where the visual stays static while audio plays.
Trim the audio start and end points with a waveform view, crop the image to your target aspect ratio, adjust volume, and choose a quality preset.
Swap the soundtrack on an existing video clip. Keep the visuals, change the audio. Great for repurposing content across platforms, adding voiceovers, or switching background music.
Both the original video audio and the new audio track are shown with waveform visualization, letting you make precise trim decisions with full context.
Professional editing tools designed for speed. No timeline complexity, just the controls you need.
See the full audio waveform for both audio files and video soundtracks. Set trim start and end points visually with generated peak data.
Interactive crop tool with platform-specific aspect ratio presets. Frame your content for 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, or 3:4 with live preview.
Trim both audio and video start/end points independently. Synchronized controls let you align your cut points with precision.
Adjust output audio volume from 0x to 2x. Choose between High, Medium, and Fast quality presets with different CRF and encoding speed trade-offs.
Drop files directly into VidMaker from your file manager. Supports all common image, audio, and video formats.
Watch FFmpeg render progress in real-time as your video exports. No guessing, no waiting blindly — see exactly how far along you are.
Built-in crop presets for the formats that matter. Frame your content once, export for every platform.
Generate images and videos from text prompts, then flow them directly into your editing workflows. Bring your own API keys — processing happens through Google and Runway's infrastructure.
Generate images from text prompts using Google Imagen 3. Create variations of existing images or edit them with instructions. Use the result directly in your Image + Audio workflow with one click.
Generate videos from text prompts or transform still images into motion. Multiple model options from Google Veo and Runway, with results flowing into your Replace Audio workflow for post-processing.
No timelines, no layers, no learning curve. Just the workflow you need.
Drag your image and audio files into VidMaker, or generate content using the built-in AI tools. Start from what you have.
Use the waveform editor to set audio trim points, crop the image to your target format, and dial in volume and quality.
Hit export and VidMaker renders your video locally with FFmpeg. Open the output folder directly and upload to your platform.
