Auto-post your song to TikTok, Reels and Shorts
SongBlast turns your song into a week of short lyric videos and posts them on a schedule. Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Facebook Reels go out by themselves. TikTok videos arrive in your TikTok inbox at the scheduled time and you tap Post. And if you would rather post everything yourself, each video is sent to your phone at its time, with a caption written for every platform. Free to try, no credit card.
Three ways a video gets posted
| Platform | What happens at the scheduled time | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Instagram Reels | Posted to your account by SongBlast | Nothing |
| YouTube Shorts | Posted to your channel by SongBlast | Nothing |
| Facebook Reels | Posted to your Page by SongBlast | Nothing |
| TikTok | The video lands in your TikTok inbox and your phone gets a ping | Open it, paste the caption, tap Post |
| Any platform, by hand | The video and its captions are sent to the SongBlast app on your phone | Save the video, copy the caption, post it yourself |
You can mix them. Plenty of artists let Reels, Shorts and Facebook run automatically and post TikTok by hand. Others connect nothing at all and post every video from their phone.
Why TikTok needs one tap from you
TikTok only lets outside apps publish fully on their own for a small number of approved accounts. For everyone else, the official route is the inbox: the app delivers the finished video, and the account owner makes the final tap. So that is what SongBlast does, and we say so plainly instead of calling it hands-off. The inbox route does not carry the caption over, so SongBlast keeps it ready in the phone app: one tap to copy, then paste it in TikTok.
Prefer to post by hand? Every video comes to your phone
A lot of artists would rather post themselves, from inside the TikTok, Instagram or YouTube app. Some want to add a trending sound or text on the spot. Many believe posts made by hand reach more people than posts from a scheduling tool. To be straight with you: we know of no solid public study that proves this either way. But it is your music and your account, so SongBlast supports both.
- Install the SongBlast phone app. Scan the QR code under Get Mobile App in SongBlast. It works on iPhone and Android, no App Store needed.
- When a video is due, your phone gets a notification. Tap it and the video is on screen, with a separate caption for TikTok, Instagram, the YouTube title and description, and Facebook.
- Save the video, copy the caption, post. About thirty seconds per post, and you keep full control of it. Each one turns green once you have copied its caption, so you can see what is still to go.
On the free plan, each video is yours to save the moment its scheduled time arrives. You can also open any campaign on your phone and pull its videos and captions whenever you want.
How to set it up
- Upload the song. MP3 or WAV. SongBlast finds the hooks, writes the lyrics out from the vocals and times them word by word. Check them and press Generate one week of promos. About two minutes later, seven lyric videos are playing, each on a different part of the song.
- Connect what you want posted for you. TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook connect in Settings. Connect none, some or all four.
- Press Blast. Pick the days and one, two or three posts a day. Captions and hashtags are written separately for each platform; edit any of them. Then the week runs.

Can SongBlast post to TikTok automatically?
Almost. TikTok does not let outside apps publish fully on their own for most accounts, so at the scheduled time the video is delivered to your TikTok inbox and your phone gets a notification. You open it, paste the caption (one tap to copy it in the SongBlast phone app) and tap Post. Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Facebook Reels post by themselves.
Can I post the videos myself instead?
Yes. Install the SongBlast phone app and each video is sent to your phone at its scheduled time, with a caption for every platform. Save the video, copy the caption, post it from the TikTok, Instagram or YouTube app. You can mix both: some platforms automatic, the rest by hand.
Do posts made by hand reach more people than scheduled posts?
Many artists believe so, but no solid public study shows it either way. SongBlast lets you choose: automatic posting where you want it, and every video on your phone for the posts you would rather make yourself.
Do I need my own videos?
No. SongBlast makes the videos from your song: the hooks, lyrics timed to the vocals, and footage that is either your own clips or human-shot stock. Nothing is AI-generated.
How many posts a day can I schedule?
One, two or three a day, on the days you choose, to up to four platforms at once. A free account schedules its first week; Starter at $5 a month covers about 60 videos a month and Pro at $15 covers 200 or more.
