# Shimga

> Shimga is a browser-based music visualizer studio. Add a song, pick a preset or template, customise every layer and export a beat-synced MP4 for YouTube, Reels, TikTok or Spotify Canvas. Nothing to install; audio is analysed in the browser.

Shimga (shimga.app) is built and run by Sahil Patel. It is free to start: you can open the studio and build without paying, but exporting needs a quick sign-in. Exporting a video that uses Pro elements needs Shimga Pro (see Pricing). Supported audio: MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC, M4A. Export formats: MP4 in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1.

## How to use Shimga

1. Open the studio at https://shimga.app/studio and add an audio file (or start from the demo track).
2. Pick a preset or template, then change colours, layers, text, logo and cover art while the preview reacts to the beat.
3. Export an MP4 (sign-in required to export).
