What is Vinyl Recording?

Vinyl Recording is a free browser tool by Eco Development Studios that lets you customize a spinning vinyl record designed with Céss White. Set disc colors and hole size, use a classic text label or upload label art, add textures and preview effects, choose an export format, and download a seamless video loop — no account required.

All design and export run in your browser. Label photos stay on your device (localStorage / IndexedDB). Share links include settings only and omit the label photo. Nothing is uploaded to Vinyl Recording servers for processing.

How to make a spinning vinyl video

Create a custom vinyl loop in five steps — all in your browser.

  1. Customize the disc — Pick vinyl color, background, hole size, and optional CD-style layout.
  2. Design the label — Enter classic label copy or upload a photo, then adjust fit, zoom, texture, and color grading.
  3. Set motion and effects — Choose spin speed and optional preview effects such as noise, glitch, or depth of field.
  4. Pick an export format — Select a preset frame (YouTube, Reels/TikTok, square, and related sizes).
  5. Export the loop — Download a seamless MP4 or WebM loop ready to post or edit further.

Frequently asked questions

Is Vinyl Recording free?
Yes. The full product is free forever — no account, ads, or watermarks.
Do my label photos get uploaded to a server?
No. Design and export run in your browser. Photos stay on your device in local storage.
What video formats can I export?
Chrome and Edge can export MP4 when supported. Other browsers export WebM. Loops are seamless up to 15 seconds.
Can I use this for Instagram Reels or TikTok?
Yes. Pick a 9:16 export preset, customize your vinyl, and download a vertical loop ready to upload.
Who designed the vinyl look?
The visual concept is by Céss White. The product is built and published by Eco Development Studios.
Can I share my design with someone else?
Yes. Share links carry settings (colors, copy, effects). The label photo is not included in the share payload for privacy and size.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes in modern mobile browsers. Complex exports are most reliable on desktop Chrome or Edge.
What languages are supported?
English and Spanish. Use the language control in the sidebar to switch.
Can I use my own artwork on the label?
Yes. Replace the classic label with a photo, then adjust fit, position, zoom, and optional texture overlays.
Is there a watermark on exports?
No. Exports are clean loops with no Vinyl Recording watermark.
Why is my export WebM instead of MP4?
MP4 encoding depends on browser support (best on Chromium). If MP4 is unavailable, Vinyl Recording falls back to WebM.
Will changing tone sliders after export change an already downloaded file?
No. Download again after you finish adjusting. Preview updates live; files already saved on your device stay as they were.
