Thumpkin is a beat maker that runs in your browser. Tap squares on the grid, pick a sound, and turn your beat into a 9:16 video of the pads lighting up in time, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. No account, no download, nothing to set up.

A real export, made in the browser tab. Tap it to hear it.

  3. Post the videoMake an 8, 15 or 30 second 9:16 video with the sound, then share it straight from your phone.

Every sound is safe to post

The drums and synths are made in code, and the dog, kitchen and arcade sounds are public domain (CC0). Anything you make is yours to post, with no copyright claims.

Nothing leaves your device

Your beats live in this browser. The video is made on your phone or computer, never uploaded. Share a beat as a link and the whole beat travels inside it.

Questions

Is Thumpkin free?

Yes. The beat maker, four kits, the starters and the video export are free with no time limit and no account. Pro adds every kit, longer patterns, WAV downloads and clean videos.

Can I post the videos and use the beats?

Yes. Every sound is made in code or is public domain, so what you make is yours to post anywhere, including on monetised channels.

Which browsers work?

Making beats works in any modern browser on a phone or computer. Making the video needs Chrome or Edge for now; the WAV download works everywhere.

Can I use my own sounds?

Yes. Open Sound, tap "Record a sound", make a noise and put it on a drum row. Thumpkin trims the silence and plays it in your beat, the video and the WAV. The recording never leaves your device. One recorded sound is free; Pro puts them on every row.

Where are my beats kept?

In this browser on this device. Use "Save on this device" for a named list, or the Link button to keep a beat in a link you can open anywhere.

How does Pro work on my other devices?

Pro switches on in the browser you paid in. Your receipt email has a link that switches it on in any other browser, with no account and no password.

How do I cancel?

Open thumpkin.com/manage on a device with Pro, or use the Manage link in your receipt. Cancelling keeps Pro until the end of the month you paid for, and you can undo it until then.

Record a sound

Tap Record and make one sound: a clap, a tap on the table, a "tss" or a "boom". Thumpkin listens for two seconds and cuts off the silence. Record sounds you make yourself, not other people's music.

The microphone is on only while you record. Your sound stays on this device, in your beats, videos and WAVs, and is never uploaded. Beat links carry the kit sounds.
