Create songs for StepMania

If you have a music file and want to make it into a playable StepMania song, you first need steps that go along with the music. You can:

• make the steps yourself using the tutorial below, or
• use the Forums link on the left and look for other StepMania users who would be willing to create the steps

Tutorials

	Create Your Own Songs
	Export and Share a Song

• Creating an Original Simfile - includes audio editing

If you're on Mac, like some people, just make an archive of the Song File.

Submitting your StepMania song

If your submission is of decent quality, we'll post it to the StepMania front page and include a link credit in the download.

Song submissions must be fully playable in StepMania and must include:

• A music file (usually .mp3)
• A step file (.sm or .dwi)
• A banner graphic (.png)
• A background graphic (.png)

See Songs for examples of works then see Contact Us: Submit Song to send your creation to be posted on StepMania.com.
