What is an LRC file?
An .lrc file is the standard format for synced lyrics: a plain-text file where every line starts with a timestamp, like [01:23.45]And the line of lyrics. Put it next to the audio file with the same name (song.flac + song.lrc) and any player that supports LRC will scroll the lyrics in time with the music.
Tips for accurate timing
- Stamp on the first sung syllable of each line, not the breath before it.
- Made a mistake? Click a line's timestamp to select it, seek the player back, and stamp again — or nudge it with the ±0.2 s buttons.
- Slow songs forgive; fast verses don't. For dense sections, pause after each line and use the audio scrubber.
LRC format cheat sheet
Everything this LRC maker writes is plain text you can open in any editor. The format has two kinds of lines:
- Metadata tags at the top:
[ti:Title],[ar:Artist]and[al:Album]. Players use them to match the file to the track. - Timestamped lines:
[mm:ss.xx]Lyric text, where minutes and seconds are measured from the start of the audio. Two decimal places (hundredths of a second) is the widely supported precision, and it's what this tool exports.
Name the file exactly like the audio file (Song.flac → Song.lrc) and keep the two together in the same folder. That single convention is what nearly every LRC-aware player — desktop or mobile — uses to find the lyrics, no configuration needed.
Where to get the lyrics text
Type them by ear, or copy them from the album booklet or the artist's published lyrics — then paste here and stamp. If you already have an unsynced .txt, paste it as-is: each line becomes a stampable row. And if you have a synced .lrc from elsewhere that drifts by half a second, paste that too — the timestamps import intact so you can nudge individual lines instead of redoing the whole song.
LRC generator, LRC maker, LRC editor — one job, three names
Search for a free LRC generator, an LRC editor online or an LRC maker and you're after the same thing: a tool that turns plain lyrics into a timestamped .lrc file. This page does all three jobs in one place — it generates the file structure (metadata tags plus timestamped lines) from pasted text, it makes the timestamps as you tap along to the actual song rather than guessing them, and it edits existing .lrc files, importing their stamps intact so you can fix a drifting line without redoing the song. No login, no watermark, no line limit — and because there's no server, no upload either.
LRC maker FAQ
Format, privacy and editing questions, answered.
What is an LRC file?
An .lrc file is a plain-text lyrics format where each line carries a timestamp, e.g. [01:23.45]Hello world. Music players that support LRC — including Trove Player — display each line in sync as the song plays.
How do I make an LRC file?
Paste the lyrics into this LRC maker, load the song from your device, press play, and hit Stamp (or Enter) as each line begins. When every line is stamped, download the .lrc file and keep it next to the audio file with the same name.
Is my song uploaded anywhere?
No. The audio file is opened locally by your browser and never leaves your device — there is no server behind this tool. That also means it works offline once the page is loaded.
Can I edit an existing LRC file?
Yes. Paste the contents of an existing .lrc file — timestamps and [ti:]/[ar:]/[al:] metadata tags are recognized, and you can re-stamp lines, nudge them by ±0.2 s, and export the corrected file.
How do I get word-by-word lyrics instead of line-by-line?
Use our Word-by-Word LRC Maker — the sibling of this tool that stamps every word instead of every line and exports Enhanced LRC. It takes longer, and players like Trove render the result with karaoke-style per-word highlighting.
Is there a free LRC generator without login or watermark?
Yes — this one. It generates complete .lrc files (metadata tags plus timestamps) with no account, no watermark and no upload; the audio never leaves your browser. Generator, maker or editor — whichever word you searched, it's the same job and the same tool.
Now play it back — word by word
Trove Player for Mac and iPhone renders your LRC files as smooth synced lyrics — word-by-word when available — right next to your FLAC and ALAC library. Free, with a one-time Pro purchase.
