rekka

Make a lyric video for Instagram Reels from just the song name

Type the name of a song. Rekka finds the lyrics with their timings, picks an excerpt, draws a few scenes for it, and writes each line on screen as it is sung. You get a vertical 9:16 video and the second to start the track at, so it lines up when you add the song in Instagram.

How it works

  1. 1

    Name the song

    Pick the lyric reel style and type the song and artist. A YouTube or Instagram link to the song works too.

  2. 2

    Get the reel

    Rekka draws the scenes and writes the lyrics on in sync. The video comes back silent, ready for the song to be added in the app you post to.

  3. 3

    Add the sound and post

    In Instagram, add the song as music and start it at the second Rekka gives you, next to the first line sung. The words then land on the beat.

Questions

Why is the video silent?

Instagram and TikTok have their own licensed music libraries, so the song is added there when you post. Rekka tells you where in the track to start so the lyrics stay in sync.

Which songs work?

Songs that have time-synced lyrics published online. Hindi and other non-English songs work too, with lyrics written in Latin script.

What format is it?

A vertical 9:16 mp4, the size Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts use.

What does it cost?

One credit per reel. New accounts get one free credit, so the first one is free.
