How to make music with AI
- Describe the musicWrite genre, mood, instruments and tempo in a few words, for example “upbeat acoustic folk, hand claps, whistling, 110 bpm.”
- Set the durationChoose any length from 30 seconds up to 8 minutes (480 seconds).
- Add a reference track (optional)Under More options, upload or link a song whose sound and feel you like. The first 30 seconds are used, and the new music borrows its sound.
- Generate and downloadEnter the 5-digit code, press Generate Music, preview the track, then download MP3, or WAV with the arrow next to Download.
How to write a great music prompt
The AI music generator responds best to concrete musical words. Think like a producer giving notes to a session band. A useful prompt usually includes:
- Genre: lo-fi, synthwave, country, trap, orchestral, bluegrass, deep house.
- Mood: uplifting, tense, nostalgic, dreamy, triumphant.
- Instruments: Rhodes piano, slide guitar, 808 bass, string section, brushed drums.
- Tempo: a bpm number (70 for chill, 120 for pop, 140+ for energetic) or words like “slow” and “driving.”
- Use: “background for a cooking video” or “boss battle music” helps set the energy.
Prompt ideas to try:
- “Warm Americana, acoustic guitar and banjo, gentle and hopeful, 95 bpm, for a family road-trip vlog.”
- “Dark cinematic trailer music, pounding taiko drums, low brass, rising tension.”
- “Retro 80s synthwave, neon, driving bassline, 118 bpm.”
- “Calm ambient pads, soft piano, no drums, for meditation.”

Where AI-generated music fits best
Stock music libraries are crowded, and the same few tracks show up in thousands of videos. Generating your own gives you something nobody else is using. Popular uses include:
- YouTube intros, outros and B-roll beds, where a 30–60 second track sets the tone without distracting from the host.
- Podcast theme music: generate a 20-second sting for the open and a longer, quieter version for under the sponsor read.
- Twitch and live streams, where an 8-minute ambient loop fills “starting soon” screens.
- Indie games needing menu music, level themes and victory fanfares on a tiny budget.
- Real estate tours and wedding slideshows that need gentle, uplifting background music.
- Fitness classes and yoga videos, where you can match the bpm to the workout.
Pro tips for usable background music
- Under voiceover, ask for “no lead melody” or “minimal.” Busy tracks compete with narration. Pair the result with a voice from our text to speech tool.
- Generate a little longer than you need. It is easier to fade out a 90-second track than to loop a 30-second one.
- Choose WAV for editing. If you will cut, loop or master the track, WAV keeps full quality. Use MP3 for quick uploads.
- Change one word at a time. If a track is close but not right, swap a single instrument or mood word and generate again.
- Keep a prompt library. Save prompts that worked so your channel’s intro and outro music stay consistent.
Frequently asked questions
Is this AI music generator really free?
Yes. You can generate music for free without an account or credit card. Each generation just needs a 5-digit security code.
Can I use AI-generated music on YouTube or TikTok?
Yes. Commercial use of generated tracks is included, so you can use them in monetized videos, ads and podcasts. If you upload a reference track, it must be music you own or have the right to use.
How long can a track be?
Anywhere from 30 seconds to 8 minutes per generation.
What audio formats can I download?
MP3, or WAV using the arrow next to the Download button.
Does the AI music generator make songs with vocals?
The music generator makes instrumental tracks described by style, mood and instruments, such as background music and beats. When you want a real song with your own lyrics sung by a voice, use the AI Song Generator.
How do I get a better track if the first one misses?
Make your prompt more specific: name the genre, tempo, main instruments and mood, for example “upbeat acoustic folk, 110 BPM, hand claps, warm and hopeful.” Generate a few takes, download the ones you like, and add a reference track if you want a particular sound.
What is the reference track for?
It lets you upload a track (the first 30 seconds are used) so the generated music borrows its sound and feel, such as the instruments, texture and mood.
