How to add music to a photo online
Three connected steps take the picture from your device to a finished MP4.
Upload your photo
Choose one JPG or PNG. It becomes the still-image clip on the video timeline.
Add music or voice
Import a local recording, choose the useful passage and adjust its volume or fades.
Preview and download MP4
Listen with the photo on screen, then export one video without a watermark.
A focused way to give one photo a soundtrack
The page stays simple while the editor provides the timing and audio controls needed for a clean result.
Processed in your browser
Your local photo and audio stay on this device instead of being uploaded to an AudioMuse processing server.
No account or watermark
Open the editor directly, finish the clip and download the MP4 without creating an account or adding a logo.
Download a shareable MP4
The photo remains still while the selected audio plays. The result is a video rather than a modified JPG or PNG.
Start with JPG or PNG up to 5 MB and 25 megapixels. Keep the finished sequence within 10 minutes. Browser codec support and available device memory can limit some files.
Add music to photo FAQs
Answers about adding MP3 or voice to an image, MP4 output, privacy, formats and album artwork.
How do I add music to a photo?
Upload one JPG or PNG photo, add a local music or voice file in the editor, choose the part you want and download the result as MP4. The first audio track can set the photo duration automatically, and you can adjust it before export.
Can a JPG or PNG photo contain audio?
No. JPG and PNG files do not contain a playable audio track. AudioMuse keeps the photo on screen while the sound plays and exports both together as an MP4 video.
Can I add an MP3 to a picture?
Yes. Start with the picture, then add an MP3 in the editor. You can trim or split the recording, adjust its volume and add fade-in or fade-out before exporting MP4.
Can I add a voice recording instead of music?
Yes. Upload an existing voice recording or record with your microphone in the editor. You can also keep voice and background music on separate tracks so their volume can be adjusted independently.
Can I choose only part of a song?
Yes. Trim the beginning or end, or split the audio to keep a chorus, verse, quote or other useful passage. The original audio file is not overwritten.
Can I use more than one audio track?
Yes. The editor supports separate tracks for music, voice and sound effects. The focused entry starts with one photo, but you can continue arranging more media inside the full timeline.
Is adding music to a photo free and private?
Yes. Editing and MP4 export are free, with no watermark or sign-up. Local files are processed in your browser rather than uploaded to an AudioMuse processing server.

Does this animate the person or object in my photo?
No. The picture remains a still image while the selected audio plays. This is a photo-and-audio video maker, not an AI image animation tool.
Is this the same as adding album art to an MP3?
No. This page creates an MP4 video from a picture and audio. To store a cover image inside an MP3 file without creating video, use AudioMuse MP3 Tag Editor.
Which formats and limits can I use?
Start with one JPG or PNG image up to 5 MB and 25 megapixels. The editor accepts common local audio formats including MP3, WAV and M4A. Keep the finished sequence within 10 minutes; available browser memory can impose lower practical limits.
