Add music to a video

Put music behind your video, from the free library or your own files, and have it duck under the talking.

Open the tool, it's free

Free · no account · no watermark · your files stay on your device

Add a track from Clipabay’s free music and sound effects, or drop in your own MP3. Trim it, fade it in and out, and turn on ducking so the music dips automatically whenever someone speaks. You can even cut your clips to the beat.

What you get

How to add music to a video

  1. Open your video.
  2. Add music from Sounds or your own file.
  3. Trim it, set the volume and turn on ducking.
  4. Export.

Tip: Keep music around 15 to 20 dB under the voice for talking videos. Ducking does this for you.

Questions

Can I use the music on YouTube?

Clipabay’s own tracks and the public-domain sounds can be used in monetised videos without credit.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Clipabay runs inside your browser, so your file is processed on your own computer or phone and never sent to a server.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no account, no trial, no watermark and no limit on how many files you do. Clipabay is kept going by people who choose to buy us a coffee.
