Amplify your audio with images
Today, our social media feeds are filled with videos, moving pictures, and GIF reactions. People are scrolling mindlessly through TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter, not remembering the name of the content creator, how long the video was, or even how to get to their other ventures like podcasts, their second YouTube channel, and more.
Snap your followers out of their mindless scrolling and capture their attention when you add audio to pictures. This catches your viewers off-guard, as they’re used to watching moving content. But, there’s something refreshing about an image with audio. It’s a pause— a breath of fresh air so we can stop and read your post’s caption, any text on your image, or immerse ourselves in the picture you’re showing us.
How to Add Audio to Pictures and Images Online
- Upload picture or audio
First, upload the media you currently have. If you have both an image and the audio, upload them to Kapwing directly from your device or by pasting their URL links.
- Add audio or picture
Choose an audio track or a picture in Kapwing’s vast copyright-free media library or upload your own. Once you’ve uploaded an audio track, it will populate onto your canvas and create a timeline where you’ll have both your audio and image. Make any additional edits you’d like to your project.
- Export and share
When you’re project’s ready, hit “Export” and Kapwing will process your project for you to share on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and more. You can also download it to your device or use the project’s link to share anywhere.
Composing Audio and Image Together
Capture your followers and viewers’ attention by adding audio to an image or adding an image to an audio. Creating an Instagram story or reel with a still image and a song has become so popular, since we all love to share our music taste with others.

What if you just had a podcast with a special guest and want to create a video podcast preview to share on Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn?

You can also upload your own audio and image, resize it perfectly for social media, and post directly to platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok all in one place. You can also add music to image by uploading your picture and loading the song into Kapwing. Kapwing is purely browser-based, so you don’t have to download an app or install hefty software. They support most media file types including MP3, MPEG, MP4, MOV, JPEG, PNG, and many more. Now, it’s time to turn your social media posts and videos into listening parties.
