# Image Particle Music Visualizer Turn a picture into an audio-reactive point cloud. Preview locally, then export a 30 fps MP4 with music, a PNG poster and settings JSON. > Canonical page: https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/image-particle-music-visualizer - **Category:** Media - **Keywords:** image particles, music visualizer, audio reactive, point cloud, MP4, particle animation ## Overview Use one still PNG, JPEG or WebP (20 MiB, 25 million pixels) and mono/stereo audio (100 MiB). Choose an excerpt of 1–30 seconds. Transparent pixels are omitted; dark pixels are retained. Sampling preserves the picture’s aspect ratio. A fixed seed keeps the layout repeatable. Low, mid and high frequency energy and spectral-flux transients drive three motion fields. This is an approximate visual response, not reliable beat transcription or 3D reconstruction. Preview runs in your browser. Export uploads both files to this site and uses the media queue. The opaque H.264/AAC MP4 includes the selected audio without automatic normalization. Browser and server antialiasing may differ. ## Inputs - **Image** (file) - **Audio** (file) - **Motion preset** (select) - **Canvas format** (select) - **Particle count** (select) - **Start time (seconds)** (number) - **Duration (seconds)** (number) - **Point size** (number) - **Motion amount** (number) - **Audio sensitivity** (number) - **Smoothing** (number) - **Trail** (number) - **Color mode** (select) - **Particle color** (color) - **Background color** (color) - **Random seed** (number) ## When to use - You need a short, audio-reactive video teaser for a track release using existing cover art. - You want an animated particle background for social media clips without complex 3D software. - You want to convert brand emblems or digital illustrations into pulsing motion loops synchronized with sound. ## How it works - Upload a source image (PNG, JPEG, or WebP up to 20 MiB) and an audio file (up to 100 MiB). - Select an audio snippet between 1 and 30 seconds, canvas aspect ratio, particle count, and motion preset. - Tune visual dynamics like point size, sensitivity, trails, and color palette with immediate in-browser preview. - Export the rendering to generate a 30 fps H.264 MP4 video, a PNG poster frame, and a JSON settings file. ## Use cases - Creating 9:16 vertical motion teasers for short-form social video platforms from album art. - Producing synchronized animated visualizers for single premieres and beat showcases. - Animating brand logos with transient audio bursts for video intros and digital displays. ## Frequently asked questions ### What image formats and sizes are supported? You can upload PNG, JPEG, or WebP files up to 20 MiB and 25 million pixels. Transparent pixels are omitted while dark pixels are preserved. ### What audio files can I use, and what is the excerpt length limit? The tool accepts WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, M4A, and AAC files up to 100 MiB, allowing excerpts from 1 to 30 seconds. ### How do particles react to the sound? Particles react to low, mid, and high frequency bands and spectral-flux transients using selected motion fields such as Breathe, Drift, or Burst. ### What files are included in the export? Export produces an opaque 30 fps H.264/AAC MP4 video with original audio, a PNG poster image, and a JSON configuration file. ### Can I reproduce the exact same particle pattern later? Yes, using the same random seed value and configuration parameters guarantees the identical initial particle distribution. ## Related tools - [Image Sequence to Video](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/image-sequence-to-video): Convert uploaded image files or a ZIP archive of frames into a video, sorted naturally by filename - [Data URI Generator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/data-uri-generator): Convert files into Data URIs (Base64 or percent-encoded) for inlining images, fonts, and assets directly into HTML, CSS, or Markdown - [Audio Melody Contour Extractor](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-melody-contour-extractor): Extract a dominant melody path from audio and export MIDI, note events, a pitch contour, SVG, and JSON in one ZIP. - [Audio Chord Progression Detector](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-chord-progression-detector): Estimate an audio file's chord sequence locally and download CSV, JSON, SVG, and method notes in one ZIP. - [Batch Audio Converter](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-batch-converter): Convert multiple audio files between different formats like MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG, Opus with quality settings and batch processing - [Audio Format Converter](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-converter): Convert audio files between different formats like MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG with quality settings and volume adjustment - [Audio to Multitrack MIDI (Draft)](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-to-multitrack-midi): Split a full mix into stems (drums/bass/other/vocals) and transcribe each to MIDI — a multi-track starting point for transcription - [Audio to Text Transcriber (AI)](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/audio-to-text-transcriber): Transcribe speech from audio (wav/mp3/m4a/flac/ogg/webm/aac) to text, SRT, VTT or JSON using the grok-stt AI model.
