Two kinds of free music — always check the track's license
Every track here is free to use, but in different ways, and each one is clearly labelled. Check the license shown on the track you pick before you use it:
Royalty-free tracks are free to use in any project — including monetized videos, ads and other commercial work — with no attribution required. SnipSound's original tracks and the public-domain classical recordings (CC0 / Public Domain Mark) fall in this group.
Social-media-free tracks are cleared for organic social media content — Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and similar — through those platforms' music libraries. They are not licensed for paid advertising, broadcast or resale, so use a royalty-free track if you need commercial rights.
Either way there are no hidden fees and no sign-up. Press play, find a track you like, and click Use in your video to add it in the free in-browser editor.
Frequently asked questions
Is this music really free?
Yes — every track is free to use. The difference is where: royalty-free tracks work in any project including ads and monetized videos, while social-media-free tracks are free for organic social media posts. Each track shows its exact license.
What's the difference between royalty-free and social-media-free?
Royalty-free tracks are licensed for any use, including commercial work and paid ads, with no attribution required. Social-media-free tracks are cleared specifically for organic social media content (Reels, TikTok, YouTube), not paid advertising or resale. The label on each track tells you which it is.
Do I have to credit anyone?
No attribution is required for the royalty-free tracks. For social-media-free tracks, follow the usage shown on the track. The artist's name is on every track if you'd like to credit them anyway.
Can I use it on YouTube, Reels and TikTok?
Yes — both royalty-free and social-media-free tracks can be used in organic videos on YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok and similar platforms. For paid advertising or commercial broadcast, choose a royalty-free track (check the license label).
