Generate original background music online with VoxCraft’s free music generator. Describe the style as comma-separated tags (genre, mood, instruments, tempo) and get back an instrumental track between 10 and 120 seconds, usually in a few seconds.
Tracks are composed by code on our own server: the generator picks a chord progression, bass line, melody and drum pattern that match your tags, synthesises the instruments, and mixes them into a finished MP3. Because nothing is sent to an external AI service, results are fast and the tool stays free to use within the site’s daily limits.
This tool sits next to VoxCraft’s other audio tools (trim, denoise, normalize, merge, convert), so you can generate a bed and then clean, loop or combine it without leaving the site. Output is instrumental only; it is a quick, simple way to get a mood-matched loop for videos and podcasts rather than a studio-produced song.
Practical path: write 2–5 specific tags → choose a length → generate → preview → download → trim, loop or normalize it under your voiceover. Always read VoxCraft’s Terms before using a track in a paid release or client project.
How it works
- Enter style tags in plain language — e.g. “lofi, chill, piano, 85 bpm”, “cinematic, dark, strings”, or “upbeat, happy, acoustic guitar”.
- Set the duration between 10 and 120 seconds. Shorter clips (10–30s) are great for intros, outros, transitions and Shorts; longer ones work as a background bed.
- Tap Generate track. The track is composed on the server and is typically ready in a few seconds.
- When status shows Done, preview in the player, download the MP3, and optionally open Trim, Loop, Normalize, Merge or Convert to finish it.
Who uses this
YouTube background music
Generate a mood-matched instrumental bed for faceless, tutorial, or explainer videos without searching stock libraries.
Podcast intros and outros
Create a short musical sting or bed for show branding, then trim and normalize it for consistent loudness.
Social clips and Shorts
Make a quick 15–30 second loop that fits the tone of a short video, then use Loop to extend it.
Course and product videos
Add a simple, consistent bed under lesson narration or product demos so the voice stays primary.
Game and app mockups
Generate temporary loops for prototype builds or marketing clips while you work on final audio.
Tips for better results
- The generator understands genre words (lofi, chill, ambient, cinematic, upbeat, electronic, hip hop, trap, acoustic, corporate), moods (happy/bright for major keys, sad/dark for minor keys), instruments (piano, guitar, pad, strings, bells, synth) and tempo (e.g. “90 bpm”).
- Add “no drums” or “drumless” for a softer bed that sits under speech.
- Each click composes a new variation — if a take isn’t right, just generate again.
- After download, use Normalize (streaming/podcast presets) or Adjust Volume so the bed sits under your voice, and Fade to end it cleanly.
- For a longer bed from a short clip, generate 30 seconds and use the Loop tool.
Frequently asked questions
Is the music generator free?
Yes. It is free to use within the site’s daily action limit and needs no account. Pro removes the daily cap. See pricing.
Can I use generated tracks commercially?
Tracks are composed for you by VoxCraft’s own generator. Please read the VoxCraft Terms for current usage rules before relying on a track for a paid release, ad, or client deliverable.
How long does generation take?
Usually a few seconds, even for longer tracks.
Does it make vocals or songs with lyrics?
No. The generator creates instrumental music only. For spoken voice, use Voice Studio and mix the two.
What duration should I use?
10–30 seconds for intros, outros, transitions and Shorts. 45–120 seconds for a background bed, or generate 30 seconds and loop it.
What format do I get?
Tracks download as MP3. Use Convert Audio Format if you need WAV or another format.
How is this different from AI music models?
This is a code-based generator: it follows musical rules and tags to compose simple, clean instrumentals quickly. It does not imitate artists or produce vocals, so expect useful background music rather than a full studio production.
Does this separate stems (drums, bass, melody)?
No. You get one mixed track.
Is there a limit on how many tracks I can make?
Free users share the site’s daily action limit across tools. Pro users have no daily cap.
