Three-Step Process
How Do You Add a Song to a Video with Our AI?
Our AI video editor simplifies the process. Upload your video, provide a prompt for the music style, and let our AI generate a custom soundtrack that syncs perfectly with your visuals.
01
Upload Your Video
Start by uploading your video file in a format like MP4. The AI immediately begins analyzing the footage for scene changes, pacing, emotional tone, and overall mood to understand its structure and narrative.
02
Describe Your Ideal Soundtrack
Tell our AI what kind of music you want. Use simple prompts like 'upbeat electronic for a product demo' or 'cinematic orchestral for a travel vlog'. This guides the AI in generating a song that matches your creative vision.
03
Generate and Export Your Video
Our AI generates a unique song tailored to your video's specific scenes and story arc. Preview the result, adjust the volume levels, and export your video with its new custom soundtrack in up to 4K resolution.

Common Questions
What Should You Know Before You Add a Song to a Video?
Here are answers to common questions about adding music to videos, copyright, and how freebeat's AI-powered platform offers a unique solution for creating custom soundtracks.
What is the best way to add a song to a video for free?
The best free way is to use an online tool that provides royalty-free music. Freebeat offers a unique approach: our AI doesn't just provide stock music, it generates a brand new, custom song based on your video's content. You can start with 500 free credits, no credit card required, to create a truly unique soundtrack.
Can I legally add any song to a video?
No, you cannot add any copyrighted song to a video without a license, as it can lead to copyright strikes and legal issues on platforms like YouTube. Freebeat solves this by generating a unique AI song for you. You own the copyright to this new track and get a full commercial-use license to monetize it anywhere.
How do I add background music to a video without losing the original audio?
A good video editor allows you to control audio layers independently. With the freebeat app, you can adjust the volume for both the original video's audio and the new music track you add. You can blend them together, or mute the original sound entirely with a single click.
Which app is best for adding music to videos on mobile and desktop?
Freebeat is the best app for this because it's a fully browser-based platform, meaning it works on any device without installation—Mac, Windows, iPhone, or Android. Your projects sync automatically, so you can start on your phone and finish on your desktop.
What audio formats can I add to a video?
Most video editors accept common formats like MP3 and WAV. Freebeat supports uploading MP3, WAV, and M4A files. You can also simply paste a link from platforms like YouTube or SoundCloud, and our tool will automatically extract the audio for you.
How does freebeat's AI create a song for my video?
Our AI analyzes your uploaded video for its pacing, scene changes, mood, and visual content. Then, based on a text prompt you provide, freebeat uses one of our three music generation models to compose a new song that syncs with the visual story arc of your footage.
Can I upload my own music instead of using the AI generator?
Yes, you can. While freebeat's AI music scoring is its unique feature, our video editor also functions as a powerful tool to add your own song to a video. Simply upload your video and your MP3 or WAV file to combine them.
What video formats and aspect ratios can I export?
You can export your final video as a high-quality MP4 file in up to 4K resolution. Freebeat supports five different aspect ratios to cover all major platforms: 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok and Instagram Reels, 1:1 for Instagram feeds, plus 4:3 and 3:4.
How long can my video be?
With a freebeat Pro plan, you can add a song to a video that is up to 6 minutes long. This allows you to create full-length content for YouTube, presentations, or short films, not just short social media clips.
Will my final video have a watermark?
Videos created with the freebeat free plan have a small watermark. All of our paid plans, starting with Basic, allow you to export your videos completely watermark-free, ready for professional and commercial use on any platform.
