Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, completely. Lyricron is free and open source, with no account, no paywall, and no hidden limits. If it saves you time, you can buy me a coffee to support development.

No. Your audio, lyrics, and timestamps never leave your device. Lyricron decodes and processes everything in the browser. See the privacy page for the details.

Yes. Once the page has loaded, everything works without a connection, including the fonts (they're bundled). There are no external requests to fail.

Plain lyrics are just text. Timed lyrics carry a millisecond timestamp on each line so a player can highlight the right line as it's sung. That timing is exactly what you create in Lyricron. Learn more in what an LRC file is.

Yes. Import a .lrc or .txt file, adjust the timings, then export it again. Paste timed lyrics and Lyricron detects them and asks whether to load them as timed lines or convert to plain text.

Usually it's variable-bitrate (VBR) audio, which can make timestamps wander late in the song. Nudge the affected lines with ±50 ms shifts, or fix a consistent drift across the whole file with shift-all. See fixing drift.

Yes. Alongside .lrc, Lyricron can copy or export your timed lyrics as .srt for video subtitles. Compare the two in LRC vs SRT.

Yes. The annotate flow is designed for touch screens too: tap to stamp, long-press to select, and the same layout adapts to a phone.

Your work auto-saves locally in your browser, so a refresh doesn't lose it. Nothing is stored on a server, and clearing your browser data clears your project.

Yes. Stamp a blank line for an instrumental section so the next lyric doesn't highlight too early. The workflow is covered in how to sync lyrics to a song.
