Metronome & FPS to BPM Converter

As a 3D artist, I often need tools that simply don’t exist. So I started creating my own!

When I work on animation without music, I need a rhythm. To find it, I usually search “metronome 120 BPM” on YouTube, download the click track, and use it. After doing this over 10 times, it started to feel clunky.

So I decided to build my own metronome, since I needed it regularly and it was relatively simple to make.

Of course, lots of web metronomes already exist. But I built mine specifically for animation:

  • Wide BPM range: Generate click tracks from 30 to 300 BPM
  • One-click download: Get a 1-minute WAV file with your chosen BPM instantly
  • FPS to BPM converter: Input your frame rate and get BPMs that align perfectly. For example, at 30 FPS, 120 BPM gives you a beat every 15 frames
  • Frame-perfect timing: Beats begin exactly at frame 0, not a random frame like many YouTube videos

One less workaround in my workflow, and hopefully yours too. I’ll keep building tools for problems that bug me enough to fix and sharing them to help others.
