How to make a rap video
Rap Maker
To make a rap video, upload a clear photo, write a one-line topic and pick Solo, Duo or Battle, then generate and download your 12-second vertical clip. Below you will find each step, tips for topics and photos, and what to do after you download.

Rap maker examples
Pick a topic, press go
Solo
Rap Maker starts with a topic. A few words in the box, and a solo performer in a yellow top raps at a hanging mic on an orange backdrop.
Street topic, night set
Duo
A topic with a street feel suits the Street at night stage. Two older men trade lines at a pair of microphones in front of a graffiti wall.
A topic for two
Duo
Give the topic to two people and each gets a mic. Two adults in white and green tops take turns at hanging microphones.
Roast topic example
Rap Battle
Not sure what to write? A playful topic like burnt rice and thin soup gives two performers on an orange set plenty to trade.
Short topic, solo hoodie
Solo
A topic can be just a few words. A man in a black hoodie raps solo at a hanging mic in front of an orange backdrop.
House party topic
Duo
Have something to celebrate at home? A man and a woman rap at hanging mics in a Living room party stage with string lights, a topic idea for the evening.

How to make a rap video in 3 steps
- 1
Upload your photo
Pick a sharp picture where the face is easy to see. Duo and Battle need a second person: add their photo too, or use a single picture that has both faces.
- 2
Write a one-line topic and pick a mode
Describe the subject in a handful of words, then decide who raps: just you, two people sharing, or two people squaring up. A beat style is optional.

Generate and download
Hit generate (you will be asked to sign in and pick a pack). Wait for the clip to appear in My videos, then save it to your phone or computer.
How to write the topic line
The topic is the only text you write, and it steers everything: the words, the mood and the jokes. Keep it short, concrete and about something you actually care about. “Monday” is vague. “Monday, no coffee, and the printer is broken again” gives the AI something to rhyme around.
Not sure where to start? Here are five topics that work well. If you want to see how the AI turns a line into bars, the AI rap generator page explains it.
- Finals week and no sleep
- Gym day and a new personal best
- My cat runs the house
- First day at the new job
- The group trip is finally booked
How to take and choose the photo
The rapper in your video is built from your photo, so the photo matters more than any other choice you make.
- Choose a front-facing shot where nothing covers the face.
- Stand by a window or go outside. Soft, even light beats a dim room or a harsh flash.
- Skip side profiles, sunglasses, masks and hair falling across the eyes.
- Skip crowd shots. Solo wants one person. For two rappers, send a picture each, or a picture of just the pair.
- Use your own face, or a friend who said yes.
How to post your rap video on TikTok, Reels or Shorts
The clip is vertical, so it fills the screen on all three apps. Save it from My videos and upload it the way you would any phone video.
Twelve seconds loops nicely. Put the punchline in the caption, add on-screen text for people watching muted, and use two or three tags that match the topic.
Keep it personal and kind. A clip about you, or a friend in on the joke, lands better than one aimed at a stranger. These clips are meant for personal posts rather than advertising.
More about the photo
If a first try looks off, swap the photo before you change anything else. See the full photo tips on the homepage.
What the rap maker can’t do
Knowing the limits up front saves you a purchase you did not need. MKRap does not:
- Use your own song or audio. The voice and the beat are made by the AI for each video.
- Take lyrics you write. You give a topic and the AI writes the words.
- Make anything longer than 12 seconds.
- Cover commercial use or advertising. Videos are for personal sharing.
- Accept photos of celebrities, public figures, anyone under 18 or anyone who has not agreed.
Rap Maker FAQ
How do I make a rap video?
Upload a photo, write one line about the subject, choose a mode and generate. When the clip is ready, download it from My videos.
How do I make a rap music video if I cannot write lyrics?
You do not need to. Type the subject; the AI handles words, delivery and beat. Leave the field empty and it chooses something upbeat.
What kind of photo works best?
A sharp, front-facing picture in good light. Side profiles, sunglasses, masks and crowded shots give weaker results.
Can I make a rap video with a friend?
Yes. Duo shares one track and Battle is a face-off. Send two photos or one picture of the pair, and make sure both people are fine with it.
Can I post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts?
Yes. The file is vertical, has sound and carries no watermark. Keep it to personal posts; advertising is not allowed.
Can I add my own song or lyrics?
No. The AI writes the words from your topic and builds the beat itself, so pasting lyrics or uploading audio is not possible.
What does it cost?
Packs start at $9.90 for one video, with larger ones at $19.90 and $29.90. Each is a single payment, and you must be signed in.
What if my video fails?
The video you spent on it goes back to your balance, so you can run it again.
