BackPack is a Discord bot that transforms images and videos into songs. It creates songs about what it sees in an image or a video you send to it. You can customize the songs by mentioning a genre, vibe (e.g funny, calm) and details about the image/video.
Hi Product Hunt!
I'm Stefan, founder of BackPack. I'm super excited to share with you what I've been building over the last month.
🎵 About BackPack
BackPack is a Discord bot that converts images and videos into songs. In short, it allows you to:
- Send between 1-3 images in a Discord command and get back a song about what the images show.
- Send a video that's 3-30 seconds in length and receive a song about the video.
- Specify a genre, vibe (funny, calm, melancholic, etc.), and details about the image/video that you'd like to include in the song.
For now, the bot works only in the BackPack Discord server, but I'm planning a web app and more features in the near future. Also, the bot is completely free, although there's a limit of 10 songs per hour for each user until I scale the service (which will happen in the next couple of weeks).
📖 BackPack's Story
A couple of months ago, I was working on a completely different idea: a player-vs-player app where users compete with each other to see who can get more likes on TikTok. The plan was to launch at local universities and have each student compete on behalf of their uni. Suffice to say, the project was too complex, and it would have taken me months to validate the idea.
I came up with the current version of BackPack after struggling to find the ideal music to add to my memes. I wished someone would build this, so I decided to do it myself.
⭐ Goals
My main goal with this launch is to get at least 100 people to create their first song with BackPack and get their feedback about:
- Any new features they'd like to see.
- Any specific use cases they have in mind.
That's a wrap! Jump on the Discord server and create your first song with BackPack today:

I’m looking forward to experimenting with different genres and vibes to see how well the bot captures the essence of each media.
The idea of generating songs from images and videos is really innovative. It’s awesome that you can customize the details and mood of the music to match what’s in your media.
I’m really impressed by how this bot turns images and videos into songs. It’s amazing to see how it can create music based on what it sees, and the option to customize the genre and vibe is a great touch.
It would be great to see a feature that allows users to save and share their created songs directly from Discord. Any plans to add that?
While the idea is cool, I’m curious about how accurately the bot translates images and videos into music. How well does it handle different genres and vibes?
This bot sounds awesome! Turning images and videos into songs with customizable genres and vibes is such a creative idea. Can’t wait to try it out!
This will be a lot of fun to use on Discord. It’s a unique way to make chats more engaging. Well done!
The ability to customize songs based on genre and vibe is a great touch. Congratulations!
It sounds amazing! Transforming images and videos into songs is such a creative idea.
very interesting, love this unique idea!
Hey @revanth_reddy04 check this out!
Congratulations on the launch!
Hey Stefan, sounds cool n all but why limit it to just 10 songs per hour if it's free, feels like you're holding back, any plans to let people make more songs without waiting? Also, you think you could add an option for different languages or accents to the songs?
Hey Stefan,
How accurate would you say the generated songs are in capturing the essence of the images/videos?
Do you have plans to expand beyond Discord in the future?
Congrats on the launch!
